My favorite soda is Dr. Pepper. It was created in the 1880s by Charles Alderton.
Wow that's my favorite soda too, I'm drinking one right now. 
No kidding, so am I! It was first marketed in the USA in 1904 and is now sold in most of the world.
I didn't know all that. I think we are soda soulmates. 
Yeah, I even named my dog Pepper, hah. There is a version that doesn't use high fructose corn syrup as well as additional flavors.
My best friends nickname is Pepper but I never call her that. She was born in 1991.
That's a fine year to be born. The US Patent Office recognizes December 1, 1885 as the first time DP was served.
Oh ok I like that. Serving me cold hard soda facts. You're very informative and I like that too.
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
