There are sodas of Dr. Pepper that have no high fructose corn syrup as well as the Diet Dr. Pepper and other flavors that came out first in 2000s.

Oh really? How old is the classic flavor?
1_Wizard
It was first brought out in 1885, a year before Coca-Cola.

Dang that is quite a while ago, seems like coke kind of won out in the end tho but both are huge so there isnt really a loser either

It's interesting that it was first named Waco by the people who brought it from the soda fountain where it was first sold.

The founder of Dr. Pepper, a pharmacist Charles Alderton, gave the formula to Wade Morrison, the soda fountain's owner, and he called it Dr. Pepper.
