[edit] Chinese Democracy

Should there be a section, not even a big one, noting Dr Pepper's connection to Axl's labor or love? --74.181.226.152 (talk) 12:28, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

It should be mentioned at the very least. Dan (talk) 15:43, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] More references!

I just noticed that there are a lot of "citation needed" markers throughout the article. I'll see what I can do with them when I have the time, but please! Give me a hand! I'm going to add the Refimprov template to the page in the mean time. Dan (talk) 02:37, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Oldest Major brand Soda?

According to the Dr Pepper Museum, it is "the oldest of the major brand soft drinks in America." I know it is not the first, but by major brand, I guess it could be. http://www.drpeppermuseum.com/About-Us/History-Of-Dr--Pepper.aspx IronCrow (talk) 23:21, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

I could've sworn that was already in the article! I'll add it. Dan (talk) 13:57, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] England / United Kingdom taste

What is that line about the taste being similar to Cherry Coke in the UK? I am from England, but I live in Hong Kong where the only way to get Dr Pepper that I know of is imported (at citysuper) from America. While the taste is subtly different to English Dr Pepper, I wouldn't say it was that different!! I would say it was, well, the same. As much the same as English Coca-Cola, American Coca-Cola, HK/Macau Coca-Cola, Japanese Coca-Cola, Chinese Coca-Cola, French Coca-Cola. They all taste subtly different, but actually they taste the same!! --SnakeSeries (talk) 11:08, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

Feel free to remove that line; isn't it POV anyway? Dan (talk) 13:56, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
I altered it accordingly. I was also interested as to other peoples opinions, hence the questioning on the talk page. --SnakeSeries (talk) 14:20, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Nothing about the prune-juice UL?

Wow, I can't believe the article doesn't mention the years and years of persistent rumors of prune juice and their steady insistence that "there are 23 flavors, none of which is prune juice." I'll look for cite-able sources and add it once I've found them.Lawikitejana (talk) 22:21, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Incorrect link

The link to the Dr Pepper Museum should be http://www.drpeppermuseum.com/

The page directs to .org, which is a broken link. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.25.246.25 (talk) 19:26, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
