This is the first ever movie from the Dr Pepper Museum! It was made as an introduction to the seminar that Jessica, Mary Beth, and Carrie gave about collection care at the 10-2-4 Collectors Club Convention last week. This year's theme was "Dr Pepper at the Movies," so we decided it would be fun to follow three Dr Pepper stars (aka collection objects) to find out what goes into caring for them on a daily basis. Enjoy!
YA'LL HAVE GOT TO CHECK OUT THIS PLUG FOR DR PEPPER BY JIM CARREY. HE TALKS ABOUT IT AROUND THE 2:50 MARK. ENJOY!!!
This video features the power of Dr Pepper and that it's worth fighting for...
Did you know that Dr Pepper is the oldest major soft drink in America? Dr. Charles C. Alderton, a pharmacist, first mixed the drink in Morrison's Old Corner Drugstore in Waco, TX in 1885. The present museum is housed in the oldest surviving headquarters building for a major soft drink, the Artesian Manufacturing and Bottling Company building. It was built in 1906 in downtown Waco; Dr Pepper, along with other soft drinks, was originally bottled in this builing. The museum is 18,500 square feet and offers three floors of exhibits. There is a scaled recreation of the Old Corner Drugstore complete with a talking animatron of Doc Alderton. Bottling equipment, containers, and an interior artesian well are also featured, along with 25 years of Dr Pepper commercials. Other exhibits include soft drink marketing and advertising campaigns, as well as a recreation of a 1930s country store. The museum features a gift shop that offers a wide advertising of Dr Pepper memorabilia, and an old-fashioned soda fountain that sells Dr Pepper, Blue Bell ice cream, and other delicious treats.
