Just In Time for the Holidays…Hot Dr. Pepper!

I came across this at Retro Thing. It’s hard to believe Dr. Pepper actually promoted this. The ad is from the 60s and I’m guessing it never caught on cause who wants a hot cup of sugared soda?! Anyone ever tried it?
Actually, coca-cola boiled with ginger is a popular cold remedy beverage in china! Don’t know how popular it is elsewhere..
