Dr. Pepper is NOT a real doctor, so don't try to schedule an opthalmology exam with one.

Dr Pepper contains no prune juice -- never has; never will.
The oldest Dr Pepper bottling facility in the world is located in Dublin, Texas. In fact, in June each year, Dublin usually renames itself Dr Pepper, Texas, for a one-week period to commemorate the opening of that plant in 1891. The Dublin plant, incidentally, is the only place that is still licensed to make Dr Pepper with the original formula; that is, Dr Pepper containing cane sugar, rather than the high-fructose corn syrup that virtually the entire soft drink industry switched to in the 1970s.
There is no period after the "Dr" in Dr Pepper, and there hasn't been since 1950 when the company adopted a new slanted block-style font. The lower case "r" was formed by a slanted line with a dot at the upper right. When combined with a period, the whole thing looked like Di:Pepper, which just wouldn't do. They solved the problem by dropping the period.
Dr Pepper contains 39.6 milligrams of caffeine in every 12 ounce can, which amounts to just a little more than Pepsi (37.2mg), and somewhat less than Coca-Cola (45.6mg).
Dr Pepper is owned by Dr Pepper/Seven Up, Inc., a subsidiary of the Cadbury PLC.

Dr. Pepper and Mr. Pibb are comparable and that i could evaluate them of their own catagory. If there have been basically 3 catagories: Cola - Citrus - Root Beer then Dr. Pepper and Mr. Pibb could actual fall into the Cola catagory. with the help of ways, i will no longer be able to drink the two Dr. Pepper or Mr. Pibb with tasting prune juice - confident i be responsive to there is not any in the two yet to me they the two have that style.

brazilians can't stand the taste because it tastes like "medicine" - a medicine that we no longer have in the US (we use cherry, grape & strawberry flavors, these days).
the original formula was supposedly created by a dr to help his little patients drink their medicine with gusto.
i miss Dr Pepper!!! (can't get it here, in Brazil - didn't market well)...

It's made in Plano, Texas. And, it's the best tasting soda in the world!!!
Also, it is made with 23 ingredients. Prunes is not one of them. That's just an urban legend.

Dr. Pepper had to change his name because of his Jewish upbringing. His original name was Dr. Eugene Weinthroub.
