Dr Pepper soda has an amazing and very distinctive taste! I would call it a cola, but not a root beer, with punch! It's somewhere in between. There's some interesting tidbits of information about the product below!
The man to the left is Mr. Charles Alderton. This dude created Dr Pepper way back in 1885. Crazy to think that we are still drinking it today, isn't it? I think it's pretty interesting that in our determined 2024 age of hyping "purified bottled water" and a drive to eliminate soft drinks from the daily diet, that, back in the late 1800's, soft drink pioneers like Charles Alderton and the founders of Coke (Dr. John S. Pemberton) and Pepsi (Caleb Davis Bradham) knew that people in that age desired something more than plain water and filled the gap with flavored water based products. It does play hell on our current nutritionists that people have been drinking these drinks for more than 100 years and still die anyway. Reality is an examination of the era, product, and attitude that it was created in. Think about it! In the late 1800's - no television & or radio yet. Different and new food & drink were the hallmarks of exciting art and experience. To swig a drink like that WAS entertainment to them, a treat, a joy and something to talk about. To have a soft drink in your hand like that.... |
What would Alderton think if he knew that Dr Pepper switched from cane sugar to corn syrup, strictly a (cheaper) financial move by the company? Or thoughts about how the corporation cut the guts out of Dublin, Texas because of that change? There's a documentary about it that I watched, and it was very interesting.
It's fascinating because you see how a brand touches people and when we buy it: what kind of rocky road has Dr Pepper traveled? The doc is called "Bottled Up - The Battle Over Dublin Dr Pepper" You wouldn't think that what you drink has territorial rules, but you'll be mildly interested why. See it if you can. I liked it :)
