everybody has that one conspiracy theory that they know is true and mine is that Dr Pepper is a combination of cola and root beer so Dr Pepper is invented in 1885 by Charles pton at Morrison’s old Corner drugstore in Waco Texas Coca-Cola doesn’t come out until 1886 and Dr Pepper cleans are the oldest major soda brand In America which might be true but there were several other brands that were already popular at the time they say Charles alderton while he was working at the pharmacy had a passion for combining different sodas together so how does Dr Pepper get to 23 flavors my theory is that there’s roughly 12 Botanicals and aromatics inside rot beer and probably 11 of those inside a Coke and all alderton did was combine those two together and if you do not believe me take two parts Coke one part root beer drink it and tell me that isn’t Dr Pepper I’m not crazy I swear to God it is uncanny how similar they are if you don’t believe me try it yourself Stitch this video if you own a laboratory with a spectrometer sound off in the comments cuz we need to start testing something the truth is out there Dr Pepper I’m on to you where didd you even go to medical school
