Answer 1

"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.

Dr Pepper is a unique blend of 23 flavors. The formula for Dr Pepper is proprietary information.
Dr Pepper is a unique blend of natural and artificial flavors; it does not contain prune juice.

Good question. I guess they don't want anyone knowing their secret.

Answer 2

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).
