Dr Pepper is not a cola, not a root beer — it’s a category of its own. Introduced in 1885 at Morrison’s Old Corner Drug Store in Waco, Texas, it remains the oldest major soft drink brand in the United States and has grown into the nation’s second most popular soda. Crafted from a secret blend of 23 flavors, Dr Pepper delivers a smooth, deep, and complex taste that has earned loyal fans across the globe for 140 years.
Every sip of Dr Pepper is the result of a meticulously guarded recipe that blends fruit extracts (including cherry, blackberry, vanilla, raspberry, caramel, and more) into a finish that is sweet, slightly spiced, and unmistakably original. The brand has introduced carefully crafted permanent and limited‑edition flavors alongside its classic offering, all of which retain the signature 23‑flavor DNA at their core.
