What are the 23 flavors of Dr. Pepper?

Answer 1

Dr Pepper has a great history and none of it is true...

In any event, here is the folklore. Back in 1885, a young pharmacist named Wade Morrison was working in a drug store in his home town of Rural Retreat, Virginia (the drug store closed in 1994). Like many pharmacists, the young Mr. Morrison gave his hand at formulating a new soda fountain syrup. He created a soft drink from a blend of 23 flavors that had an absolutely wonderful flavor whose individual components could not be determined by taste. Now, Mr. Morrison was quite happy in that this new syrup formula provided him with the solution to a problem. You see, the young Mr. Morrison was in love with the boss's daughter and he was sure that his boss did not approve of the relationship. He decided to name his new soft drink after his boss in an attempt to gain favor, and Dr. Pepper was invented. It didn't work. Dr. Pepper still would not approve of the relationship, and he even fired poor Morrison. Morrison eventually moved out West to Texas, and sold his soft drink in the town of Waco. Morrison would eventually meet another woman and get married, but Dr. Pepper's daughter would always be his first true love. (Other versions say Morrison and Dr. Pepper's daughter eloped to Texas).

The above story is pretty cool, but none of it is true.

Here is the real story (it's almost as good as the folklore). In 1885, Charles Alderton was a pharmacist at the Morrison's Old Country Drug Store in Waco, Texas. Mr. Alderton was the person experimenting with different flavors, and he was the one who invented Dr. Pepper (not Morrison). However, Mr. Morrison (the owner of the drug store) was the one who named Alderton's new soft drink. Morrison had worked for a Dr. Charles Pepper, but he was not in love with Dr. Pepper's daughter as she was only about 8 years old when he left Virginia. Morrison probably chose the name Dr. Pepper because it allowed him to pay tribute to the first person to give him a job, the name had a nice ring to it, and it was common practice to include "Dr." in a drinks title. (The period was dropped from Dr. Pepper in the 1950s).

Answer 3

Dr pepper is just a mixture of all the leftover soda at the bottom of the vats. The leftover soda is the most potent and it is all mixed together in one large vat then mixed with spring water carbonated and bottled.think about it there are 23 Coca-Cola origanal flavors have you ever went to a fast food restaurant and got every kind of drink from the fountain mixed in one kinda tastes familiar but a little off yup that's how dp is made

Answer 4

A partial list of these flavors can be seen at the bottling plant in Dublin, Texas; although the formula itself (with its twenty-three ingredients) is a closely-guarded secret. Contrary to a popular urban legend, Dr Pepper does not and never has contained prune juice.

Answer 5

Some very fascinating solutions right here. I on no account new there have been 23 flavors and cannot start to assume what approximately 20 of them are. I style a few cinnamon and I'm definite cherry and vanilla are in there. Is sugar a taste???

No one knows for sure. If they do they arent telling. Carbonated water, cane sugar, caramel color, phosphoric acid, natural and artificial flavors, sodium benzoate, caffine. That is what the 12 pack box I have says.
