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.

Dublin wasn't the original bottling plant, they just made it with Pure Cane Sugar the longest using the old recipe. I use to grab a bunch of them when I would travel through Dublin on my way to college in Alpine from East Texas around Tyler. Then I started to see them in stores around Tyler. I knew they had an agreement with Snapple to not sell outside the 3 counties around Dublin but thought it might have changed. Well, it didn't and they were quickly sued out of the rights to produce Dr Pepper. I felt bad for them but they did violate their agreement with Snapple in which they signed.

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.

@EcoMouseChannel 3 года назад

Yes, the term "Pep" was really thrown around a lot in the late 1800s. Some of the early ads for Pepsi and Dr. Pepper literally said things like, "Adds Vim & Vigor to Your Life!" or as you said, "Put's a Pep in Your Step!" I used to collect vintage ads and magazines... crazy the things tonics and such would claim as "Cure Alls For Your Ails" Sodas quite literally started out as carbonated medicine syrups. That's why they all originated in pharmacies and drug stores.
