Dr. Pepper and the Imposters
Dr. Pepper is the finest soft drink available.  At various times, Coke, 7-Up, and cream soda have their appeal, but Dr. Pepper is the center of my soda pop universe.  As the old advertisements said, Drink at 10, 2, and 4.  Three Peppers a day keeps you alert and happy.

This is my collection of Dr. Pepper imposters.  The Dr. Pepper taste is so unique that soda companies attempt to duplicate it's flavor with their own concoctions.  True Pepper drinkers are not tempted by these poor seconds. 

In my travels I have found many imposters.  Here you can see the pretenders to the throne.
