April 11/2018 I forgot to mention that parking is at a minimum when visiting Magnolia Market. We opted to pay $10 and park in the Baptist Church parking lot. When we walked back to the bike we found out that the Dr. Pepper Museum is about one block away so we thought "why not, lets go".

Billy loves soda pop. Yes he is a Pepper! The museum (a 1906 bottling plant) is mostly artifacts and a memorabilia, there is quite a bit of history on the World's Fair that was interesting. Dr. Pepper was first served all the way back in 1885 in Waco. It is the oldest soft drink
brand in America.....that we did not know. As in most soft drinks the inventor was a pharmacist. He was from Waco, Texas and No his name was not Dr. Pepper!!! haha. Legend has it that he named “Dr. Pepper” after the father of a young girl he was once in love with. There are other theories about the origins of the soft drink’s name. One conjecture is the “pep” refers to pepsin.

After the museum you can visit the Frosty's Soda Shop and that is where we continued to work on our Balanced Diet for the day. 2 Rootbeer Floats please!
