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).
A lunar calendar is based on lunar months (the cycle of the moon's phases takes 28 days). Since this cycle is fairly constant, the months all have the same length. The problemâ¦ arises because no whole number of lunar months corresponds to one year; the closest is 13 months, equal to 364 days. This leaves an overhang of one and a quarter days each year which must be accounted for in a similar manner to leap years.
