Dr.Pepper

History

Dr.Pepper was originally created in 1885 by a pharmacist named Charles Alderton who worked for Morrison's Old Corner Drug Store in Waco, Texas. He created the beverage when he was experimenting with different fruit flavors when he evenually created Dr.Pepper. The drink was a hit with customers at the store which lead to the owner of the store Wade Morrison marketing the drink more widely. By the early 1900's Dr.Pepper had become known around the country and was featured at the St. Louis Fair in 1904 which skyrocketed it's fame even further.

Current Popularity

In recent years Dr.Pepper has grown more popular then ever, surpassing Pepsi as the second most popular soda in the United States. It is especially popular with the younger generations. The biggest factor behind the success of Dr.Pepper is the distinct flavor that is different from other sodas like Coke or Pepsi that taste pretty similar to eachother. The reason it tastes so different from all other sodas is the 23 flavors that go into making the soda that help to seperate it from everything else on the market. In the present day Dr.Pepper has turned into a brand that is well known around the world, and will likely stay as one of the top dogs in soda for a very long time.
