My takeaway from the Dr. Pepper Museum is that it's some weird indoctrination shit for school kids about the virtues of the free market and limiting government regulation. It's fucking weird and you better believe they shoe-horn that shit into every exhibit. It used to be called the Dr. Pepper Museum & Free Enterprise Institute but looks like they may have decided to rebrand since I was there a few years ago. Maybe they realized saying the quiet part outloud in their name was turning people off lol.

What you may not know is that Free Enterprise Education has always been at the heart of our institution as part of our Free Enterprise Institute. From the very beginning, the aim has been to not only collect and display soft drink artifacts, but also to use industry as a model to demonstrate the power of our economic system.

What the fuck ๐Ÿ˜” I thought dr pepper was a cool chemist who just wanted to make something interesting for us to drink so we can enjoy our lives a bit more.
