Welcome To Texas: Dublin Bottling Works
Many Texans may already know that Dr Pepper was created in Waco in 1885, by a pharmacist at a corner drug store. But they may not realize that the first place to ever bottle Dr Pepper was in the Erath County town of Dublin.

NB. THIS IS A VOICEOVER TRANSCRIPT, NOT A FULL SHOT LIST.
(vo)
AFTER PULLING IN TO DUBLIN TEXAS IT TAKES JUST A FEW GLANCES TO NOTICE SOMETHING IS DIFFERENT HERE...
ALL OF THE VENDING MACHINES AROUND THIS TINY TOWN ARE PURPLE... AND NO MATTER WHAT THE STORE, THEY'RE HAWKING JUST ONE SINGLE BEVERAGE..
IT MAY SAY DUBLIN ON A MAP BUT AROUND HERE THIS TOWN IS KNOWN AS DR PEPPER TEXAS...
(SOT)
There's nothing like it's the best....
(vo)
LOCALS LIKE DOROTHY DELL SWEAR ON DUBLIN DR PEPPER.. SOME STILL DRINK 10-15 A DAY...
(SOT)
honey you're asking a girl that grew up with it..
(VO)
THEY ALSO GUARD THEIR PRIVATE STASH OF REFILLABLE BOTTLES LIKE VALUABLE FAMILY HEIRLOOMS..
(SOT)
I HOLD ONTO THEM AND DON'T LET THEM OUT OF MY SIGHT..
(VO)
THE BOTTLES ARE PRICELESS SINCE YOU CAN'T EVEN BUY A DUBLIN DR PEPPER IN THESE TALL BOTTLES UNLESS YOU BRING IN AN EMPTY ONE..
(SOT)
1944 is when this bottle is from..
(VO)
THE ANCIENT GLASS IS TREATED LIKE A FINE BOTTLE OF WINE... THE BOTTLES HAVEN'T EVEN BEEN MADE SINCE THE EARLY 1970'S, AND SLOWLY BUT SURELY ARE DISAPPEARING. EVERY ONE THAT BREAKS, GETS LOST, OR ENDS UP IN THE TRASH BRINGS THIS CHAPTER OF HISTORY ONE STEP CLOSER TO IT'S END..
(SOT)
eventually these old bottles will be gone we hope not anytime soon but it's inevitable..
(vo)
BUT UNTIL THEN THESE MACHINES WILL CONTINUE TO WORK, THE NEWEST PIECE OF EQUIPMENT IN THIS PLANT IS THE BOTTLE WASHER, INSTALLED IN 1965..THE OLDEST MACHINE IS OVER 8O YEARS OLD.. ALL OF THAT KEEPS CHIEF ENGINEER MELVIN VOGT ON HIS TOES.. HEADACHES FOR VOGT ARE COMMON AND BREAK DOWNS FREQUENT, IT'S PART OF THE REASON EVERY SINGLE BOTTLE STILL GOES THROUGH A CLOSE VISUAL INSPECTION BEFORE BEING PACKED INTO A CASE AND SOLD...
(SOT)
sure we could go to newer equipment that would probably be cheaper, maybe save us some money but then we wouldn't be doing what we've always been doing you know.. and we're not planning on selling out anytime soon..
(VO)
AND THAT'S GOOD NEWS FOR THE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WHO TREK HERE EVERY YEAR TO SEE DR PEPPER MADE THE OLD FASHIONED WAY... THIS WOMAN CAME ALL THE WAY FROM GERMANY...
OTHERS NEARLY AS FAR..
(NATS)
we drove 1730 miles from missoula montana
(VO)
A FRESH PEPPER FROM THE SODA FOUNTAIN WAS JUST WHAT THE DR. ORDERED..
(SOT)
i feel better already.... laughs..
(VO)
BUT IT ISN'T JUST THE MACHINES, OR BOTTLES... IT'S WHAT YOU WON'T FIND INSIDE THE BOTTLES THAT MAKES DUBLIN DR PEPPER REALLY STAND OUT.. THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP HERE, INSTEAD THEY MIX IN PURE CAIN SUGAR THE SAME WAY THEY HAVE SINCE 1891... 425,000 POUNDS OF IT EVERY YEAR..
(SOT)
the cost of sugar has gotten really high at times and still is more than high fructose corn syrup, but it's what makes us special..
(VO)
SPECIAL AND DELICIOUS, RICH MATTHEWS THE ASSOCIATED PRESS DR PEPPER, ERR.. DUBLIN TEXAS...

Bottled Up: The Battle Over Dublin Dr Pepper - Full Trailer
NOW STREAMING FOR FREE ON AMAZON PRIME:
For 120 years, Dublin Dr Pepper was manufactured in the small West Texas town of Dublin. The soda's original pure cane sugar formula spawned a cult-like following in the Lone Star State and across the globe. All that stopped when Dr Pepper Snapple Group filed a trademark lawsuit against the tiny soda bottling plant, causing an unceremonious end to a relationship that had endured for more than a century. This fascinating documentary chronicles the story of Dublin Bottling Works and co-owner Jeff Kloster, as they fight for their future while trying to hold onto their historic past.
Each year, more than 70,000 tourists from around the world visit the Dublin bottling factory. Now, local residents are left wondering what will happen to their small town without the out-of-town money supporting their local businesses.
This full-length documentary details the events and history leading up to the demise of Dublin Dr Pepper, as well as the public outcry that continues to this day.
With exclusive footage and interviews, Bottled Up provides an insider's look at
the Battle over Dublin Dr Pepper.

Dr Pepper Museum Dublin Texas • San Saba Texas Trip 03-19-2017
On our way to San Saba Texas, Robin and I stopped in Dublin Texas, To check out the Dr Pepper Museum. This is a great stop, a lot of history about how Dr. Pepper got started. Don't expect to taste any Dr Pepper with the pure cane sugar in it, because they don't make it there anymore. The Dr Pepper company sued them for making it!I Can't understand why, sounds silly! Anyway if you're in the area be sure to stop check out the Dr Pepper Museum.
