Back in the late seventies and early eighties in Wichita Falls, Texas we used to buy "Hot Dr. Pepper" at the concessions stands at the local high school football games which were held at Memorial Stadium. It was wonderful! I think I remember hearing that "Hot Dr. Pepper" was only good if made from the "pure cane" sugar variety-but I cannot find anyone to confirm this.

I remember the Donna Loren commercial in the 60's that showed you how to make hot Dr Pepper. Everyone was outside in the snow in their stretch ski outfits. She drank it out of a clear mug with a lemon slice and it was steaming hot. I thought it looked very "cool", haha. I was 11.
I was in Dallas and she was always on Shindig. Guess they were the sponsor.

Is that Donna Loren singing the jingle at the end? She is back recording again.

I looove hot Dr. Pepper…it's the only way I drink it, actually. Someone turned my mom and I onto it years ago as a remedy for a sore throat…now, it's my winter staple. Actually have a mug right now in my dorm room (sidenote: using a microwave can give a similar effect as a saucepan, but not quite as tasty). Enjoy your "Hot Doc"!

i once left an open can of dp in the door panel of a black car in the hot tennessee summer sun. When i returned a couple hours later, i was surprised to find a syrupy, yet delicious drink! Fast fwd 5yrs and my freshman class homeroom in high school had a an old large dr. Pepper wall thermometer with an icy dp on one end and a white mug of steaming dp topped with a lemon wedge. ….mmmmmmm

When I was small (in the 60's) they always had hot Dr. Pepper at the high school football games. We bought it every Friday night in Denton, TX. I loved it!

I hadn't heard of hot Dr. Pepper until my wife and I visited Dublin, TX a couple of years ago and it was available there. Since it was late December, I found it very appropriate and tasty too.

Ive been drinking it since the 60s.
Its great !
There uses to be a TV commercial with a bunch of fir trappers up north in Canada and they all thought "Jacque" had one winter too many because he was going to do this to keep warm.

I grew up drinking hot Dr Pepper with lemon, and it is truly delicious! Now that I can make it with Dr Pepper Heritage with real sugar, it's even better. Try it, you'll be hooked.

one time i left my dr. pepper in the car in summer and it got really hot, and i drank it just to gross out my mom, but it was actually very good.
i tried to convince people of it and no one believed me, and now i've found this article which supports my discovery!
