Dr. Pepper Museum in Waco, Texas


This is the Dr. Pepper Museum in Waco, Texas. It doesn't look lik much on the outside ... or the insde ... but this where Dr. Pepper was bottled when the concern went commercial way back when. Of course times have moved on, machinery become more sophisticated, and corporate realities require FAR bigger building, BUT this is still something to stop by and see. The best part of the museum tour may be the ice cream and soda parlor on the first floor. Ask fo a Dr. Pepper milk shake. They'll put heaps of ice cream into a metal cup. Then they'll add a spalsh of milk. Next will come a super big shot of Dr. Pepper syrup - yep, the same stuff the add soda water to make Dr. Pepper that everyone knows and loves. Then they'll put all the ingredients into a mixer and blend until it's creamy and smooth. They'll put it into a large cup and hand you a straw, but it's best to scoop it up with a spoon. It's THAT good!

k.....I might be willing to try it and I don't even LIKE Dr. Pepper.

I know there's a naughty corner with my name on it for even saying that.......

Mmmm; delicious!!

When I was younger (a long time ago!) I used to make a similar drink called a 'spider'. A big dollop of ice cream in a tall glass mixed with soft drink; usually coca-cola. I used to stir the mixture really vigorously so that the glass had a foaming head of bubbles that was a about a third of the glass!
