Dr. Pepper is my favorite soda. It was first marketed in the US in 1904, but now is sold all over the world.
That's interesting! Dr. Pepper is my favorite too! I didn't know it was that old though.
It was first created in the 1880's by a pharmacist Charles Alderton, and then first served in 1885. I didn't know it was that old either until recently.
Wow that was so long ago! I wonder if it is actually older than Coca Cola then?
That's a good question. I think coke was invented in the early 19th century but not sure of the exact date. One thing I know is I'm glad Dr. Pepper created a diet version in the 2000s. I wonder what took them so long though.
I have to agree. Every now and then when I drink soda, I make sure to grab a diet Dr. Pepper, so I can get all the flavor with none of the calories. Ha ha!
It's marketed as having a unique flavor, and that it has for sure. There's nothing like a cold Dr. Pepper on a hot summer day.
I prefer a tall glass of water on a hot summer day, but Dr. Pepper is the perfect blend of ingredients to get it's unique and rich flavor.
Another fun fact is that it was introduced nationally at the 1904 Louisiana Purchase Exposition made with 23 flavors.
That sounds delicious! I would love to have tried that version!
