World’s Largest Dr Pepper Bottle

BIG News, Pepper!

The World’s Largest Dr Pepper Bottle has officially arrived at the Dr Pepper Museum! Waco’s newest landmark celebrates the birthplace of Dr Pepper, which was first served in Waco in 1885

Standing 23 feet tall, the Big Bottle serves as a permanent exhibit celebrating the evolution and legacy of Dr Pepper. One side features the first logo used on bottles in the original bottling building, while the other showcases the final logo used before bottling operations ceased in the Museum’s main building.

Though the biggest Dr Pepper bottle may seem “out of the ordinary,” it reflects the pride, imagination, and commitment that preserved our historic building and continues to celebrate Waco as the original home of Dr Pepper and the Dr Pepper Float. 

The exhibit was officially unveiled to the public on Saturday, May 9, 2026, during the Museum’s 35th Birthday Bash. To celebrate Waco’s newest landmark, the Museum held a special unveiling ceremony with the community and partners who helped the Big Bottle become a reality.
