Dr. Pepper was invented in 1885 by Charles Alderton, a pharmacist in Waco, Texas. Noticing that customers loved how the soda fountain inside the drug store where he worked smelled sweet, Alderton decided to create a drink that imitated that soda fountain scent and flavor. Everyone will instantly know that you are a fan of the soft drink that makes the world taste better when you wear this I'm A Pepper Dr. Pepper T-Shirt!
