Dr Pepper

Dr Pepper is a well-known soft drink first served in 1885 in Waco and introduced to the rest of Texas in 1904. It is known for being made with 23 flavors, having a unique taste, unlike cola or fruit.

In 2009, a recipe titled "D Peppers Pepsin Bitters" found in an old ledger in Waco, Texas, is believed to the the first recipe for Dr. Pepper. A page in the book was titled W.B. Morrison & Co. Old Corner Drug Store, the same store in which Dr. Pepper was first served in 1885.

Dr. Pepper guards the exact list of 23 flavors as a secret. However they do state that Dr Pepper does not contain prune juice as has often been rumored.http://www.drpepper.com/info/faq/#i Currently, there are 8 varieties of Dr. Pepper: original Dr Pepper, Diet Dr Pepper, Dr Pepper Cherry, Diet Dr Pepper Cherry, Dr Pepper Caffeine Free, Diet Dr Pepper Caffiene Free, Dr Pepper Cherry Vanilla and Diet Dr Pepper Cherry Vanilla
