Dr Pepper is a unique soda with a distinctive taste, produced by Keurig Dr Pepper, a beverage conglomerate that formed in 2018 from the merger of Keurig Green Mountain and Dr Pepper Snapple Group. Dr Pepper is known for its blend of 23 flavors, which gives it a taste unlike any other soda. The drink originated in the 1880s in Waco, Texas, and quickly gained popularity for its bold flavor and mysterious recipe. Despite common misconceptions, Dr Pepper is neither a cola nor a root beer, setting it apart in the competitive soft drink market.
