I worked at a bottling company that produced Dr Pepper, among other sugary fizzy concoctions. I can tell you that while I couldn't tell you what the 23 flavors are, I do know that the concentrate they used was straight phosphoric acid that came in a tiny box. Each box would yield 10,000 units (2 litre bottles), and the stuff had a cloying, sickly sweet odor that would stay in your nose for days. I couldn't drink DP for years after I left that place.

I'm a supervisor in a Dr Pepper Snapple group warehouse in Texas, one of the largest. What they don't post online is that for a period of time we were producing and shipping monster. We also store pallets of coca cola cans/bottles to be shipped as well. Coca cola uses our facility to distribute their product to save on shipping and extend their reach.

Just a correction: Here in Mexico Dr Pepper and most of its brands are sold by Grupo Peñafiel that is in fact owned by Keurig Dr Pepper, heck they even use the same logo but since Peñafiel is a more recognizable branding for the Mexican market they use it as the front company.

This makes soo much sense about Coca Cola producing Dr Pepper outside of the US. I live in Ireland and in some niche stores they sell the Dr Pepper cans imported from the US and there is definitely a much better taste when compared with the Dr Pepper produced by Coca Cola in Ireland.

In fact, Dublin, TX was the oldest bottling plant still making the original recipe of Dr Pepper (granulated cane sugar and all) until they got a C&D for shipping it outside their contractual radius about 10 years ago. I was disappointed. Dublin Dr Pepper was the best. Their orange cream soda is still really good, though.

I've loved Dr Pepper ever since I was a kid when my next door neighbor lady introduced it to me. But I detested their "Be a Pepper" ad campaign! My favorite ad was the humorous one in which the preacher held up a bottle and proclaimed "Anything that good HAS to be sinful."

Dr Pepper has been huge regionally in Texas since it has its roots here. Most fast food or restaurant businesses sign exclusive deals with either Coca Cola or Pepsi to use their fountain drinks, but in Texas it's common for them to allow the option for the owner to also provide Dr Pepper. Because of how popular it is, the store will have a noticeable decline in reviews/business if they don't offer Dr Pepper.

Fun fact: Keurig is not only the #1 single serve coffee maker, but it's ALSO the #1 single serve. ... Alcohol drink maker... (I think mostly because nobody else does that) Yup. Lo and behold to my surprise when I stumbled across and was gifted a Keurig Drink machine. It's legit... Like, you buy these disposable recyclable pods that contain the alcohol and drink mix concentrate that is then mixed with water and depending on the drink, carbonated (it has a refillable carbonation tank thing inside). I've had a lot of varieties but my favorites I think is the Tom Collins (a gin and lemon/lime citrus soda based drink), strawberry margarita (it's on the rocks ofc) tho their aloha one is better imo, long island iced tea (surprisingly accurately potent and smooth for the size of the drink capsule). It's small enough to fit on a coffee table or counter, and is just disturbingly good. You put the capsule in, put an appropriately sized glass under, hit a button and bam, done, clean it occasionally. Oh and it does have other settings you can adjust but I haven't had a need to. And the cherry on top is it comes with a lock accessory that allows you to lock it when not using it so children and the like cant use it behind your back I recommend looking it up for the amusement at least

Growing up, I had Dr Pepper once and I recall not liking the sweet taste of it. It looked like Coke so I was expecting a similar flavour. I don't recall ever drink it again till I was much older. Funny thing is, I worked at a bar for a long time and we had this popular drink called a "Dr Pepper" which was Amaretto mixed with Coke/Pepsi. That was a drink I used to have quite often. I always wondered why it was called that and one of my coworkers said "Duh, coz it tastes just like Dr. Pepper!" So I went and bough a can of Dr Pepper, and to my surprise, it tasted exactly like an Amaretto and Coke!!! Haha All those times I had the Amaretto and Cokes, I was drinking a similar tasting drink as that drink I didn't like as a kid! :P

It's wild that Coca Cola buying Dr Pepper was somehow a monopoly but Cadbury Schwepps buying ALL that stuff isn't lmao.

I think you missed a very important bit of their success. In 1963 they were legally determined to not be a “cola,” this ruling meant they were then able to distribute their products to the masses by using bottling companies that had exclusive contracts with either Coke or Pepsi. That was a pretty massive win at the time.

Fascinating! Honestly. I don't know if anyone remembers, but Dr pepper ran a good campaign promoting its product to be served HEATED. I clearly remember an ad where a French Canadian lumberjack comes into a cabin from a snowstorm, and orders his wife to bring him "Dr Pepper HOT weeth Lem-OHN!" I'd love to see a companion piece about the late, great JOLT ("All the sugar--TWICE the caffeine!") Cola OR, what about Canfield's diet chocolate soda?

Every time I think of Dr Pepper it reminds me of the American version of The Return of Godzilla. Not only does the movie have many Dr. Pepper vending machines scattered throughout the film, but I believe Raymond Burr was supposed to drink a Dr Pepper on screen, however he refused to do it and the scene was given to some other guy.

I live in Texas, that is pretty much all of my Texan friends drink.

What I find interesting is that depending on what part of the country you live in, Dr Pepper comes in different bottle shapes because either Coca-Cola or Pepsi actually distributes it for retail. Arizona, it happens to be Coke, but when I lived in North Carolina, Pepsi distributed it. Crazy stuff.

It's completely messed up in Europe. In the UK (where coca cola produce it) the branding is completely different, as are the flavours. We occasionally get Dr Pepper imported from Europe to some stores, which tastes totally different and comes in different bottle designs. I believe Keurig own the rights and produce it themselves or license it to PepsiCo in Poland, which results in the weird mix match of drinks that are called Dr Pepper. It's a super confusing mess of trademark law.
