The history of Dr Pepper dates back to the late 1880s. In 1885, in Waco, Texas, a young pharmacist called Charles Alderton invented the soft drink Dr Pepper, a carbonated soft drink marketed as having a unique flavor. Alderton worked at a place called Morrison's Old Corner Drug Store and carbonated drinks were served at the soda fountain.
That all changed in 1963. A federal court ruled that Dr Pepperâs unique flavor kept it from being a âcola product,â which meant that bottlers were free to distribute Dr Pepper without running afoul of their exclusive deals with Coca-Cola and Pepsi. By the end of the decade, Dr Pepper was available from coast to coast.
