Soda is the dietary scourge of the world we live in. It rots our teeth, leaches calcium from our bones, and packs fat onto our bodies. It's traced to side effects like diabetes, heart disease, premature aging, miscarriages, high blood pressure, and kidney failure. But Americans can't get enough of it; the government claims it accounts for as much as 10% of calories in the American diet.
So everyone on earth agrees you should have less soda in your life. But dammit, you're an autonomous person and you want MORE. So how do you up the ante?
With soda barbecue sauce.
At first glance, you might think that the flavor of Dr. Pepper isn't well-suited to slathering your ribs, but think about it: what's in the tall glass you reach for to kill your thirst? Soda, right?

I picked up my three sauces at the local grocery store, next to other monstrosities such as Budweiser BBQ sauce and Jim Beam Teriyaki Marinade. Now I just had to find a grill, since as an apartment-dweller I can't be trusted with such things. Luckily, my mom is a totally responsible homeowner and was perfectly willing to let me desecrate her grill with this crap, as long as she and the dog got to watch.
Smile for the camera!
Perfect! That's a keeper!
With my meats and sauce gathered up, it was time to get down to cooking.
