Somebody said: <<. . . what flavour *is* Dr Pepper? I'd try it myself if it wasn't for those bloody ads - why should people be forced to drink it? Is it not nice? They've managed to convinced me that it's made of crushed beetle or something.>> Then, Erika said: <<i believe it's a cherry cola flavour produced by pepsi... which is why coca-cola introduced cherry coke to compete with it.>> According to the Dr Pepper Museum (www.drpeppermuseum.com), this fruity-flavored soft drink was invited in 1885 at a soda fountain in Waco, Texas, and is the oldest of the major brand soft drinks in America. Pepsi has nothing to do with it. And if you live in the UK, your Dr Pepper tastes nothing like our good ol' American version (that's not from the dp site, that's from experience). "It's a Texas thang. You wouldn't understand." Cheers!
