One more reason why it couldn't be on-brand.

That I think is the point being the first recognized commercial soda defines the category. I didn't get it from the preamble because I wasn't aware of Dr. Pepper's iconic status.

I usually drink water flavored seltzer but I'm going to have a Dr. Pepper today.

Huh, only by five months. Dr Pepper was officially sold starting on Dec 1, 1885, Coke on May 8th, 1886.
