This day 125 years ago is the day the United States Patent Office recognizes as the first day Dr Pepper was served here in Waco, Texas at the Old Corner Drugstore. Growing from a small town soft drink, the Dr Pepper made a big splash in 1904 at the World's Fair in St. Louis, and the opening of the Artesian Manufacturing and Bottling Company allowed Dr Pepper to be shipped all over the country. With the development of iconic marketing campaigns like "Drink a Bit to Eat at 10, 2 and 4" and "I'm a Pepper" with David Naughton, the drink grew to have a steady group of followers around the world known as Peppers!
