Dr Pepper Strawberries & Cream soda

Dr Pepper Strawberries & Cream is a flavored variant of the iconic soda that blends the signature 23-flavor recipe with creamy strawberry notes. The brand boasts a rich history as the oldest major soft drink in the United States, established in 1885 by pharmacist Charles Alderton in Waco, Texas. Over the decades, it has evolved from a local pharmacy specialty into a global carbonated beverage staple.

The manufacturing process of Dr Pepper is highly decentralized through a complex network of bottling partners. While the brand is strictly owned and its concentrate produced by Keurig Dr Pepper in North America, manufacturing and distribution rights vary significantly by region. In many international markets, including parts of Europe and the UK, Coca-Cola or PepsiCo affiliates may handle the physical manufacturing and distribution under license.

Ownership of Dr Pepper is unique in the beverage industry. In the United States and Canada, the brand is owned by Keurig Dr Pepper (headquartered in Burlington, Massachusetts, and Frisco, Texas). However, in much of the rest of the world, including Europe, the trademark is held by The Coca-Cola Company, while in some specific territories like Australia and parts of South America, other entities hold distribution rights.
