In 1885, in Waco, Texes, a young pharmacist called Charles Alderton invented the soft drink “Dr.Pepper”. Alderton worked at a place called Morrison’s old Corner Drug Store and carbonated drinks were served at the soda fountain. Alder invented his own recipes for soft drinks and found one of his drinks was becoming very popular.
