Answer: Dr Pepper 

Dr Pepper is a beverage that was invented by Charles Alderton in Waco, Texas. 

Dr Pepper is a carbonated soft drink. Charles Alderton, a pharmacist in Waco, Texas, developed it in the 1880s, and it started using it in 1885. In 1904, Dr Pepper was first widely advertised in the US. These days, it is also available in North and South America, Europe, and Asia. Dr. Pepper is marketed as an imported commodity in South Africa, New Zealand, and Australia. Diet Dr Pepper and a series of new tastes that debuted in the 2000s are examples of variations.

The term “Dr. Pepper” was originally used for commercial purposes in 1885. At the Louisiana Purchase Exposition in 1904, a new variety of soda pop with 23 flavors was unveiled to the American public. It was first made available in 1885, a year before Coca-Cola.

Charles Alderton, a pharmacist from Brooklyn, created it at Morrison’s Old Corner Drug Store in Waco, Texas.  To test his creation, he first gave it to Wade Morrison, the proprietor of the pharmacy, who also liked it. Customers at Morrison’s soda machine quickly discovered about Alderton’s new beverage and started ordering a “Waco.”  Alderton gave Morrison the recipe, and he christened it Dr. Pepper (later stylized as “Dr Pepper”).
