Indeed, go to DrPepper.com, find the FAQ section, and you’ll be informed that “Dr. Pepper is a unique blend of 23 flavors. The formula for Dr. Pepper is proprietary information.” (Dr. Pepper also has a web-based promotion called “Get23″ centered around the 23 secret flavors. The promotion has to do with finding “flavor icons,” but it won’t reveal what the flavors are. Because they are—you know—secret.) Apparently, this claim has been a part of Dr. Pepper lore for a long time—something like the Colonel’s Eleven Herbs and Spices, but I was ignorant of it.
So what are the 23 flavors? I’m guessing one is not “cherry-flavored cough syrup,” though “cherry” seems a safe bet. (Vanilla, or some version of vanilla, seems a given, too.) According to Snopes, the company has repeatedly denied the persistant rumor that prune juice is one of the component flavors. Any guesses?
UPDATE: According to AdAge, Cadbury Schwepps (the owner of the Dr. Pepper brand) spent $5 million on a “mash-up” marketing campaign based on the 23 flavors concept before killing the ads earlier this year. Click through the link to see the commercials that never aired.

I don't think you will get a full list.
It was formulated by German pharmacist Charles Alderton in Morrison's Old Corner Drug Store in Waco, Texas in 1885. Dr Pepper's flavor is allegedly derived from a mixture of soda fountain flavors popular when Alderton created it. A partial list of these flavors can be seen at the bottling plant in Dublin, Texas, but the full list and combinations is kept secret.
No one is completely sure where the name of the drink came from; however, it is rumored that the owner of Morrison's store lived near a Dr. Charles T. Pepper, and may have been close to Pepper's daughter at the time.
Many people will tell you that there really is no such thing as 23 flavors and it is only a marketing gimmick. :)

"Unlike Coca-Cola and Pepsi, Dr Pepper is not marketed as a cola. Dr Pepper's flavor is allegedly derived from a mixture of soda fountain flavors popular when the drink was first devised. 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"...according to wiki

Some very interesting answers here. I never new there were 23 flavors and can't begin to imagine what about 20 of them are. I taste some cinnamon and I'm sure cherry and vanilla are in there. Is sugar a flavor???

That's as secret as the formula for coca cola! I will tell you that the flavor base is prune! Kinda scary, no?
