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).
Months are either 29 or 30 days, corresponding to the 29Â½-day lunar cycle. Years are either 12 or 13 months, corresponding to the 12.4 month solar cycle. The lunar month on the Jewish calendar begins when the first sliver of moon becomes visible after the dark of the moon.
