Dr. Pepper Museum - Waco, TX


Dr. Pepper Museum - Waco, TX

Texans love their Dr. Pepper: they marinate steaks in it, make cocktails with it and flock to this museum to pay homage to it. The three-story, 17,000 square foot former bottling plant is a shrine to the 126 year old soda. You can watch old television ads, read about how the drink got it's name and get to the bottom of why the company dropped the period after DR in the 1950's. And don't forget to hit the old fashioned soda fountain on the way out for Dr Pepper milkshakes, floats, and ice cream sundaes.
