What are the 23 flavors in Dr. Pepper?
Answers:
I have noted with interest your Internet page comments about Dr Pepper and find it interesting that you would want to pass the word on to others about a great soft drink. As a matter of record, I feel compelled to tell you that there is no period after the "Dr" in Dr Pepper. This fact is acknowledged in the Associated Press Stylebook. I know this because I am the person responsible for having it included back in the early 1970s. The reason there is no period is the result of an italicized type face used in the early 1950s. The period after the "r" appeared to look like a colon because of the font used. The result appeared to be "Di: Pepper". Not only was the period dropped, but the font was soon changed. There is really no reason for a period since we're not a member of the medical profession, or even degreed.
Dr Pepper is named after Dr. Charles T. Pepper, an 1855 graduate of the University of Virginia Medical School. Who practiced medicine at his pharmacy in Rural Retreat, Virginia in the late 1800s.
The entire history of Dr Pepper was published in September by author Jefferey Rodengen. His book, authorized by me, is entitled "The Legend of Dr Pepper/Seven-Up." Jeff owns Write Stuff Syndicate Inc. His address is

What to eat while drinking your Dr Pepper:
Ice Cream!
The Dr Pepper Float is probably one of the most heavenly treats I have ever experienced. Just take a mug full of Ice Cream (Breyers Vanilla has proven to work well here) and then fill the cup with Dr Pepper. Keep the can/bottle handy, because you can add more as you get towards the bottom, finally ending with a cup half full of Dr Pepper and Ice Cream bubbles.
Burritos!
(Actually, this is just a damned cool page to see...) (served at
Taco Bell).
Great Bluedini Kool-Aid

someone told me that there was actually prune juice in there once. no clue of the validity though.
it's a secret
The prune juice is a myth.
The 23 ingredients in Dr. Pepper is Top Secret. If you go to Dublin TX you can see a partial list at the bottling plant, but unless you find a really disgruntled worker who is willing to risk everything, you won't find a complete list anywhere.
That is the recipe. It has some kind of drug that makes it addictive!
Dr Pepper is a popular caramel-colored, carbonated soft drink marketed in North America by Cadbury Schweppes Americas Beverages (CSAB), a unit of Cadbury Schweppes. The headquarters of CSAB are situated in Plano, Texas, a suburb of Dallas. The ownership of the trademark varies in other countries, although most non-U.S. territories are controlled by The Coca-Cola Company. There is also a no-calorie version, Diet Dr Pepper, as well as many other flavors.:
