Okay Imbrogno made me feel bad, so I decided to educate people about Dr Pepper here. I did some research...

1) Dr Pepper is not owned by Coca Cola or Pepsi.. it's owned by Cadbury Schweppes.

2) 40.8 mg of caffeine per 12 oz. can.

3) The color is because of a caramel made especially for it.

4) Dr Pepper came before Coca Cola. Coca Cola came before Pepsi.

5) It's Kosher.

6) It originated in .

7) It has had various slogans over the years...
1910-1914 - "King of Beverages"
1920's-1930's - "Drink a Bite to Eat at 10,2 and 4"
1950's - "The Friendly Pepper Upper'
1960's - "The Most Misunderstood Soft Drink"
1970's - "The Most Original Soft Drink Ever"
1977 - "Be a Pepper"
1980's - "Hold Out for the Out of the Ordinary
1997 - "Now's the Time. This Is The Place. Dr Pepper This Is The Taste."
2000 - "Dr Pepper Makes The World Taste Better"

This was all found at their website... http://www.DrPepper.com
