Weird History Food is going to crack open a can and tell you the History of Dr. Pepper. While maybe not quite as popular as Coca-Cola or Pepsi, Dr. Pepper has been around just as long as its bigger rivals. But how did Dr. Pepper start? And when did America want to start wanting to become a Pepper too?

Dr. Pepper is more of a doctor that Fauci ever will be, even as an advertising logo.
…unless they start filling with the vaxxx, that is…
I have not and never will be a Dr. Pepper fan. I don’t drink much pop to begin with in the first place and if I do I drink RC cola which I like more than Coke or Pepsi. I will admit that I like Mt. Dew when I go to Taco Hell on occasion. It must be me, but I also like Shasta soda (it hasta be Shasta) and especially their raspberry cream soda. And my wife and I always argued over whether to call it soda or pop, she preferred to call it soda and I called it pop.
…OTOH, the old advertising bit they did about “I’m a Pepper, You’re a Pepper, He’s a Pepper, She’s a Pepper, wouldn’t you like to be a Pepper too?”, sounds an AWFUL lot like modern doctor groupthink and attempting to socially pressure people into compliance, so maybe Dr. Pepper IS a progenitor of the Fauci method, or at least comparing notes…

USED TO HAVE A THERAPIST NAMED DR PEPPER
The Dr. Pepper ads “I’m a pepper, you’re a pepper, we’re all a pepper too” ads are as big an annoying ear worm as the Oscar Meyer weiner commercials. “Oh, I’d love to be an Oscar Meyer weiner.”

“…the Oscar Meyer weiner commercials. “Oh, I’d love to be an Oscar Meyer weiner.”
…that was way back before we had Transportation Secretaries that go their job specifically BECAUSE they had a publicized yen to have their weiners eaten…
I also quit drinking Big Gulps from 7-11 years ago when I was driving because I was stopping to pee all the time after I drank a Big Gulp.
Maybe Pete should change his name to Oscar Meyer since he likes to eat weiners.
I find warm DrPepper to be syrup of ipecac in a can.
Within the past year I found 7-Up made with real sugar. It has a different taste than the corn syrup version. I would get that if I found it again. I think we got it in Kroger but we normally shop at HEB. It may also have been a special run.
I used to drink cola until I started having regular bouts of AFib. My doctor told me to lay off caffeine. I’ll have a Coke once every few years (usually if I am having lunch and nothing I would normally drink is available) and I wonder how I was able to drink liquid sugar.
I call 2 fingers of scotch a “Dr. Pepper”.

Dr. Pepper is my favorite pop, goes best with pizza.
Does anyone know what the one of the secret ingredients is in Dr. Pepper? Prunes. I like sugar free Dr. Pepper occasionally.
“USED TO HAVE A THERAPIST NAMED DR PEPPER”
I went to an endodontist once named Howard Fine. Seeing he was about to do a root canal on me, I refrained from saying Dr Howard, Dr Fine, Dr Howard. I’m sure he had heard it before anyway.
There also used to be an old Democrat US congressional representative who I believe was from Florida named Claude Pepper.
Cool, now Do the Dew. 😀
Dr. Jill?
Mr Pibb was a hangover cure back in the day.
The NCO that handed me my discharge (Honorable) papers early in January of ’68 at Bergstrom A.F.B. in Austin was Sgt. Pepper. I couldn’t believe my eyes! My last contact with anyone in the Air Force.
BADCO
Did he play YELLOW SUB for you on the way out?
Most are too young to get it; but being discharged in ’68 you do. Right?
The wife and I were vacationing in Texas a few years back. When we were traveling through Waco she saw a sign about the Dr. Pepper Museum. I had not planned a stop in Waco but we spent the afternoon at the museum. If you are ever in Waco you should check it out.
I had a dentist named Dr. Boozer. One of the company nurses who drew blood was named Cindy Sticker.
