Dr Pepper's unique, sparkling blend of 23 fruit flavours has been around for well over a century with that distinctive flavour you just can't quite put your finger on. It was created by Texas pharmacist Charles Alderton in 1885. He gave a sample of the first batch to Wade Morrison, a local shop owner, who agreed to stock the drink, and – according to Dr Pepper legend – named it after the father of a girl he loved. The unique, bold taste of Dr Pepper has been popular ever since.
