Today we had our 8th flavored Dr Pepper Taste Test! 62 of our visitors put their tastbuds to work and told us what they thought of Amaretto, Cinnamon, Cranberry and Coconut Dr Pepper. Amaretto was bumped down to 3rd place this week and Cinnamon and Coconut took the lead.
Along with our Texas visitors, we also enjoyed talking to folks from New Jersey and both North and South Carolina!
Most of our taste testers today were under 20, but we had a fair repesentation of different age groups including 7 senior citizens.
Only one vote separated first and second place! Congrats to Cinnamon and better luck next time for Coconut. Amaretto came close behind in 3rd place and only 6 testers reported that they liked Cranberry the best.
Most of our visitors today didn't care for Cranberry, but suprisingly Coconut and Cinnimon, our winners, took 2nd and 3rd in the "Least Favorite" category.
Our testers were torn between Cinnamon and Coconut as the flavor they liked more than the original Dr Pepper. Never fear, 13 die hard Peppers told us that nothing beats original DP!
Most of our visitors think they would buy our concotions in the store. Which ones? Cinnamon, Coconut and Amaretto, of course!
Next week the winners from previous weeks will be battling each other head to head to decide the Dr Pepper Museum ULTIMATE FLAVOR CHAMPION! Drop by the second floor and join the fun!

Come See The Wagons!
Due to construction that is about to begin in the Kellum-Rotan building (you know, the one with the big neon sign on the side!) the wagons and bulldog truck have been moved out to the courtyard for your viewing pleasure. You notice we said VIEWING pleasure, right? The vehicles currently have caution tape on them to discourage climbing on them. Feel free to use these great pieces of Dr Pepper history as an awesome photo op, but for your own safety please do not climb on them or up into them. It is for their safety, too! They are very old and don't do well with a lot of hands-on interaction. We are happy to be able to offer these as a temporary part of our courtyard exhibit before they are permanently placed in the new galleries of the Kellum-Rotan building as part of our Transportation Exhibit. We hope you enjoy them!

Houston Mayor Visits the DPM!
On Tuesday, July 14th, Houston Mayor Bill White stopped by the Dr Pepper Museum! He visited with local supporters and Museum staff, and then enjoyed a Dr Pepper (of course!) from the soda fountain.
Mayor White took office in 2003 and was overwhelmingly re-elected in 2005 and 2007. He is now at the end of his mayoral career and is running for U. S. Senator. Here we see him with Interpretation Associate Katie Wolfe, Director of Interpretation Joy Summar-Smith, Mayor Bill White and Director of Communications Jennie Sheppard. He’s a Pepper!
