It was Dr. Peppers attempt to market a pepper sauce product , think Heinz or Lea & Perrins type. Thinking it a sure winner, public relieved it coldly. Perhaps believing a soda based steak sauce or marinade for veggies was unappetizing!

1930's , I believe. Try a web search on Ab. Net . Later Dr. Pepper donated the unused bottle to the Popular Bluff school system. To be used as refillable bottles for milk. The base is marked Property of Dr. Pepper.

I just came across this thread and was wondering if you had anything to confirm the story about the pepper sauce product. I had heard that these bottles from Poplar Bluff MO and Boaz AL were used for either a chocolate drink or fruit drink due to the shortage of sugar during the war.
