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?
Dr. Pepper" was first used commercially in 1885. It was introduced nationally in the United States at the 1904 Louisiana Purchase Exposition as a new kind of soda pop, made with 23 flavors. Its introduction in 1885 preceded the introduction of Coca-Cola by one year.
It was formulated by Brooklyn-born pharmacist Charles Alderton in Morrison's Old Corner Drug Store in Waco, Texas. To test his new drink, he first offered it to store owner Wade Morrison, who also found it to his liking. Patrons
