"Did you know Waco?" is a cache series that highlights some of the people and places from Waco that have made it famous. These will focus not on Waco history alone, but its contributions to the rest of the world. Come along and find out what to say when someone asks you, "What's so special about Waco?"
This cache brings us to the home of perhaps Waco's biggest claim to fame: Dr Pepper. Nothing about Waco is quite as famous or as much of a hometown favorite as the soft drink celebrated by this museum. In its earliest days, Dr Pepper would be ordered at a drug store by telling the soda jerk to "shoot me a Waco", something you can still do here today.
If its a hot day, you may be able to get by with a bottle of water or Gatorade, but come on "Wouldn't you like to be a pepper too?"
