Dr. Pepper

Fizzy soft drink

Dr.

Pepper is a carbonated soft drink with a distinctive flavor often described as a blend of fruit and spice, neither cola nor root beer.

Introduced in Texas in 1885, it's among America's oldest major soft drinks.

The period after "Dr" was dropped from official branding in the 1950s, though both spellings persist in casual use.
