This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

Dr Pepper is also sold in the United Kingdom. Historically, the European Union would have covered the United Kingdom but, due to Brexit (The United Kingdom leaving the European Union), this no longer applies. Please could admins update this as the article is semi-protected. Many thanks.

Error on page German Variation

The article states "German Variation, Germany's version of Dr Pepper, similar to its UK version, is also manufactured with a reduced amount of sugar and artificial sweeteners (also aspartame and acesulfame K). However, the sugar is reduced to 6.8 g per 100 ml, marginally less than in the United Kingdom.[36]"

However, after looking at the can on my desk from the UK the sugar content is 4.9 g per 100 ml. Making germany's version MORE than the UK, not less as stated. Here is the nutritional information for Dr Pepper from the Coca Cola website

Please remove the text "the American Food and Drug Administration" and replace it with "A federal court, in resolving a dispute over bottling rights,"

There is no reliable evidence to claim that the FDA has classified Doctor Pepper as a "pepper drink" This miscommunication seems to come from a 1963 federal court ruling that Doctor Pepper, not containing any kola nut, could be bottled by a Texas bottling plant previously barred from bottling any competitors cola products because of an agreement that coca-cola and Pepsi cola made them sign. ^[1]

Not done for now: The 1973 Texas Monthly article cited states: "In 1966, the Food and Drug Administration formally declared Dr. Pepper not to be a cola". You'll need to provide a more reliable source. – macaddct1984 ^{(talk | contribs)} 12:38, 17 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your data is incorrect. I remember reading the label around 1992 to 1995 and being surprised by it containing prune juice (Natural flavors)as an ingredient. That was also the reason once upon a time they had the numbers 10, 2, and 4 or something like that on the container and their slogan was if you drink one at these times it will keep you regular. This is correct. Just like mountain dew used to be with mineral oil around the same time frame. Later they changed it to Vegetable oil, and God knows what now. They all contain phosphoric acid which used to be sold in the auto parts stores in a pink jelly form for taking rust off of chrome bumpers. It can still be bought in a liquid form for rust removal. All of these statements I just made are accurate statements — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chickenman1966 (talk • contribs) 01:46, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 4 December 2024

It is requested that an edit be made to the semi-protected article at Dr Pepper. (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any autoconfirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{ESp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.

Page states that Dr Pepper is distributed in Canada by PepsiCo but it's actually Keurig Dr Pepper (KDP) as proven at their Canadian website: https://www.drpepper.ca/en/faq/ 2607:F2C0:E362:200C:E9D9:F096:2BBB:775E (talk) 01:33, 4 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
