Charles Alderton creates Dr. Pepper in his Old Corner Drug Store

Dr Pepper

It was formulated by Brooklyn-born pharmacist Charles Alderton in Morrison's Old Corner Drug Store in Waco, Texas.^[1] To test his new drink, he first offered it to store owner Wade Morrison, who also found it to his liking. Patrons at Morrison's soda fountain soon learned of Alderton's new drink and began ordering a "Waco".^[2] Alderton gave the formula to Morrison, who named it Dr Pepper.
