At 105, she keeps her taste for Dr. Pepper
Elizabeth Sullivan is 105 years old.
She was still driving until about six months ago.
She uses the telephone and writes letters in longhand and drinks Dr. Pepper.
LOTS of Dr. Pepper.
Back when she was a mere 103, a doctor warned her against her habit of three Dr. Peppers a day.
“The doctor said said ‘That will kill you,’ ” Sullivan recalled in a 2014 interview. “About 15 years later I had to change doctors because he already died.”
Sullivan continues having her three Dr. Peppers, each and every day.
Wednesday, she threw out the first pitch of the Texas Rangers game.
