W.W. Clements, a former CEO and president of the Dr Pepper/7-Up Company, described the taste of Dr Pepper as one-of-a-kind, saying "I've always maintained you cannot tell anyone what Dr Pepper tastes like because it's so different. It's not an apple, it's not an orange, it's not a strawberry, it's not a root beer, it's not even a cola. It's a different kind of drink with a unique taste all its own."
A $10 million advertisement campaign in 1985 saw [[Godzilla]] featured in two commercials for Dr Pepper, while the drink was also featured in the U.S. version of ''[[The Return of Godzilla]]'', ''[[The Return of Godzilla#U.S. Release|Godzilla 1985]]''.<ref name="Dr Pepper Bubbles Up To Godzilla">[http://articles.latimes.com/1985-08-02/entertainment/ca-5791_1_dr-pepper]</ref> Dr Pepper also sponsored a little-seen tie-in music video of the song "I Was Afraid to Love You" for ''Godzilla 1985''.
 
Product placement for Dr Pepper was featured in the Americanized version of ''[[The Return of Godzilla]]'', ''Godzilla 1985'', and two commercials for Dr Pepper in the 1980's featured Godzilla in them.
