Fake Dr. Pepper
Land has all your favorite knock offs, like Dr. Pop, Mr. Pibb and Dr. Sparkle. Now
when I say fake, I don't mean these drinks aren't real. Go to your local grocery
store and you'll see that these generic sodas are very real. Imitation follows
success and when Coke, Pepsi or even Dr. Pepper makes a successful product, you
can be sure someone will try and get a piece of the pie. Coke and Pepsi are both
guilty of jumping on the Dr. Pepper bandwagon; Mr. Pibb and Dr. Slice respectively.
So, why collect fake Dr Pepper's instead of root beer or cola? The reason is because
Dr. Pepper has the most interesting knock offs. There isn't a generic term for
its flavor. For example, Coke is soda. Sprite is Lemon or Lime drink. Crush is
Orange Drink. Root Beer is Root Beer. Ginger Ale is Ginger Ale. Ok you get the
picture. But Dr. Pepper is a different story. The marketing process is a little
trickier. Or at least wackier. The only way to let people know that the imitation
drink tastes like Dr. Pepper is to give them a medical degree. It's genius from
a marketing point of view. Throw in the "Dr" (ex. Dr Riffic), give it
a burgundy can and everyone knows that this drink tastes like Dr Pepper.
