Dr Pepper Museum

The oldest continually marketed soft drink, Schweppes, celebrates a significant milestone this year -- 225 years! Originally invented by Jacob Schweppe in Geneva, Switzerland, it quickly found a large fan base in England in the late 1700s and early 1800s. In 1969 Schweppes merged with the famous Cadbury chocolate company to form the world's largest confectionary and beverage company, Cadbury Schweppes. This is exhibit is a joint venture between the Dr Pepper Museum and the Museum Studies Department at Baylor University. As part of the program, students gain valuable practical experience in the design, research, and production of exhibits. This is the third partnership between the Dr Pepper Museum and the Museum Studies Department.
