Dr Pepper

Dr Pepper originated as a medicinal remedy before becoming one of the most beloved soft drinks in the USA. Its history began in 1885, and its recipe remains a secret to this day. What is certain is that it contains 23 flavors, and most of its fans maintain that cherry is definitely among them. The allure of Dr Pepper also stems from all the "mystery" that has always surrounded it, which has made it, among other things, a true pop icon. It was invented by a pharmacist from Brooklyn, Dr. Charles Alderton. The drink was created in Waco, Texas, and when it began to grow in popularity, it was renamed "Waco." It was later rechristened with the name we all know today, probably with the intention of suggesting it was a particularly healthy beverage, a typical custom at the time. Dr Pepper is so famous that it even has its own museum in the Texan city where it all began.
