It tastes meh in plastic bottles but tastes amazing in cans for some reason to me.

Unfortunately, it also gives me great pain so I have to force myself not to buy it. I blame the caffeine.

I drank way too much of the stuff for years on end, and I can't give a decent description of what it tastes like.

But I managed to kick that habit -- it turns out that 1) drinking enough soda with real acid in it will cause major damage to your teeth (just from etching, so not getting cavities is no defense), and 2) having all kind of dental work done at your gum lines is very damn painful.

Random fact time. Dr Pepper was created here in my hometown. The local Doctor, whose last was Pepper had a soda machine in his office. He'd let people mix and max different flavors. I guess mixing new flavors was his hobby, as one day he created the drink we know.

Iirc he was just going to put it as it's own flavor in his machine, but his son in law stole the formula and sold it, or licenced/branded it, whatever you do to commercialize it. Named it after his father in law, but I think they didn't get along after that as Doctor Pepper felt betrayed.

His office building burned down when I was younger though. So it's just an empty lot, but I'm renting the building that is right next to where it used to be. Can step out the door and down a staircase and be standing on the site where it was created.

I'm actually surprised the town doesn't celebrate it more. The building that burned used to be decorated with Dr Pepper memorabilia, but that's all gone. All that's left is a plaque in the McDonald's. But it was remodeled like the rest several years ago and I don't know if they kept it.

Looks like I was mistaken about it being his son in law. It was someone that worked with him instead.

Dr Pepper is not a real person.

This is the guy who invented it:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Alderton

This person then sold the drink to a guy named Wade Morrison.

Wade Morrison just called it "Pepper" originally. Dr. Pepper came later.

Nobody knows exactly why he called it Pepper. The Charles T Pepper story is an unproven myth.

Nobody knows exactly why he called it Pepper. The Charles T Pepper story is an unproven myth.
"Pepper hired Wade Morrison in 1874, and Morrison worked for Pepper for a few years, leaving in 1880 to travel west. In Texas, Morrison obtained employment as a pharmacist in Austin and then later in Round Rock.[15] Morrison moved around Texas, ending in Waco. In 1882 he bought John W. Castles's drug store in downtown Waco. In 1885, Morrison employed pharmacist Charles Alderton.[15] Alderton, of New York State, went to school in England, gaining knowledge of carbonated beverages. Morrison and Alderton mixed carbonated water, fruit juices, and sugar to produce a soft drink that had an unusual taste.[15][16] It was eventually called "a Waco" the customers at the drug store would order this drink saying, shoot a Waco.[17] There are nearly a thousand people in Rural Retreat that claim the formula for the drink was stolen by Morrison."

Just like I said above, Dr pepper made the formula, which was then taken without his permission and commercialized it.

Dr Pepper was in fact a real person, who worked with the person who "created" the formula. I wrongly stated it was his son in law, but that person took the formula from Dr Pepper and commercialized it in Texas. Dr Pepper never forgave him for that.
