Coke? Pepsi? Neither. Dr. Pepper is the real stuff! This stuff has been around since the 1880s, served first in 1885...before both Coke AND Pepsi. It should be the real #1.
Definitely Coke, Diet Coke in fact. Can not get into Dr. Pepper though, but everyone else I know loves it.
Okay, I'll respect the difference in taste. I'll say one thing--it was invented by a pharmacist in Waco, Texas. When it was introduced to the public at Morrison's soda fountain, a store owner who really liked the drink, his guests kept asking for a "Waco"... Glad that name didn't stick.
Yeah, that's kinda weird. Now, is Dr. Pepper a Coke product or a Pepsi product?
It's neither; it's its own product. Technically fully introduced nationally in the US at the Louisiana Purchase Expedition in 1904 as this kind of "new soda pop," made with 23 flavors. They still use that tagline today, actually, with a "23" on their can at times.
I didn't know that, interesting. Where is the factory that it is made at located today?
Dr Pepper
Dr Pepper is a carbonated soft drink. It was created in the 1880s by pharmacist Charles Alderton in Waco, Texas and first served around 1885. Dr Pepper was first nationally marketed in the United States in 1904, and is now also sold in Europe, Asia, North and South America, and Australia, as well as New Zealand and South Africa as an imported good. Variants include Diet Dr Pepper and, beginning in the 2000s, a line of additional flavors.
