After we left John & Tiff’s we headed south to Waco, TX. We decided to stop there because they had a Dr Pepper Museum and my Mom loves Dr Pepper! The museum was actually in the building that Dr Pepper was originally made in. It started out as a pharmacy/ soda shop. This guy went to work in the shop and began mixing different syrup flavors to get new sodas. One day he mixed 23 flavors into one soda, tons of people tried it and from that day on it was a major hit! That was the day Dr Pepper was conceived, all those 23 flavors still make up Dr Pepper today. As we walked through the museum we saw how Dr Pepper was bottled, all the different bottles they went through the years, then the different cans, and then the different plastic bottles. The company went through a few different logos and eventually dropped the period after Dr. The museum went further into their slogans and marketing through out the years. Then at the end they had a neat gift shop and soda fountain. Joe and I shared an original Dr Pepper float, made from the syrup, soda water, and ice cream, and man was it sweet!!! It was a true homage to my Mom’s favorite drink!
