That is supposed to be just an urban legend. However there is grape.

Nope.
"Dr Pepper doesn't contain any prune juice, but this rumor is remarkably long-lived, having been with us since about 1930.
The rumor about prune juice being part of the beverage's formula is addressed in a brochure put out by the company. "There are 23 flavors and other ingredients (none of which are prunes) that produce the inimitable taste of Dr Pepper." And that's it. No prunes, but they are keeping quiet about what's in there.
The company have inadvertently encouraged the spread of the prune rumor by cloaking its product's formula in secrecy. The Dr Pepper recipe is allegedly divided into two parts, each of which is locked up in a different Dallas bank so that no single person can ever be in possession of the whole formula. (Coca-Cola is rumored to follow a similar policy.)
Though the exact formulation is not known to the public, the company is adamant that Dr Pepper doesn't now contain prune juice, nor did it at any time in the beverage's history."

No actual prunes have been harmed in the making of Dr. Pepper.

No. Artificially Flavored. Does it 'taste' like prunes? Depends on who you ask.

Not as far as I know. Try reading the ingredient label on the can.
