Can We Clone The Doctor - Dr Pepper Recipe Hack Episode 1
Can We Clone The Doctor? Episode 1 This is going to be tough There are (as the bottle says) 23 flavours in Dr Pepper but what are they? The internet is full of theories, and lists some of them make sense and some of them dont. I have to admit - most of the lists contain flavours that are compound flavours like cola and Root Beer so I dont know how much I trust them.
There is also a formula book that surfaced from the Old Corner Drugstore in Waco Texas where Dr Pepper was invented. It contains a formula for Dr Peppers Pepsin Bitters - but the handwriting is is scribbled that no-one can agree what it says.
