But only the bottled variety ... cans need not apply. Dr. Pepper recipes here:

She then stuck it on a burner and heated it, gently one assumes, for several minutes. Finally, she poured it into a styrofoam cup and added a slice of lemon. From what Peter said, the styrofoam and the shiny coffeepot added a great deal to the experience, so this may just be beyond the reach of the average consumer without a significant investment of time and resources, and a willingness to use styrofoam.

Recipe? so, you don't just stick a can of Dr.P. into a microwave or something? heh. still sounds pretty bizarre, but I’ll have to try it sometime.

Strange but true. There was a big push for it during the late 60's, and I had some then (the old formula, natch). I remember drinking it while caroling one Christmas.... I'm envious of the trek to the Dr. Pepper museum, Rachel. Dr. Pepper and Heinz ketchup are my signature foods! Actually, hot Dr. Pepper is pretty good. Strange but true.
