Dr Pepper is a soft drink marketed as having a unique flavor. Created in the 1880's by Charles Alderton of Waco, Texas, and first served around 1885, Dr Pepper was first nationally marketed in the United States in 1904 and is now also sold in Europe, Asia and South America.
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, Godzilla 1985.[1] Dr Pepper also sponsored a little-seen tie-in music video of the song "I Was Afraid to Love You" for Godzilla 1985.
