    It’s clearly the entrance to a pepper mine. I’m sure it takes a lot of pepper to make Dr Pepper.

      This is a common misconception. It does not take a lot of pepper, but it takes the pepper many years to earn its medical degrees before the canning process can begin.

      The result is that you need a lot of pepper in the pipeline to keep stable production, not that the drink requires lots of pepper per ml produced.

      It’s a bit like running a vineyard.
