For much of Dr Pepperâs history, the drink was a regional delicacy confined to the South and Southwest. Coca-Cola and Pepsi had used their head starts on Dr Pepper to build nationwide networks of independent bottlers who had exclusive franchise contracts to turn their respective syrups into colas.
The Moon Cycle. The term moon cycle (or lunar cycle) refers to the moon's continuous orbit around the earth. As the moon orbits the earth, its appearance (the phase) changes and thus gives us an indication of the moon's progress in the cycle (the age).
How long is the lunar cycle? In the time it takes for the moon to complete one orbit around Earth, the planet has moved in its orbit around the Sun. It takes the moon approximately 2 days to catch up to Earth's new position relative to the Sun as seen by an observer on Earth.
