Peanut Butter and Dr. Pepper

I recently made a shocking discovery. No, it wasnt that Lucca is the toilet paper capital of the world...not even that the true form of mozzerella is NOT stringy and packaged. Its true, Italy does not sell Dr. Pepper or creamy peanut butter. GASP. Upon this recognition, after reconciling with a complete loss of Tex Mex, I immediately began writing friends and family telling them to send me the beloved contraband.
I was lucky in that word of mouth travels and the second school group to Italy brought me a TON of Dr. Pepper. Everyone was contacted and asked to bring a few cans or bottles...one person even brought 12...and I think Im set for at least a couple of weeks. haha! I am still coping with the fact that Italians only eat crunchy peanut butter, and even then, you will only find a small jar of it hidden away (dusty, even) on a shelf at the supermarket. I have plans and dad, if youre reading, JIFF whipped peanut butter when you come, please.
