drew hundreds of thousands of people to Dublin, Texas every year. "hundreds of thousands every year" ?
That seems like a stretch.
I lived in Texas for 28 years and never heard of Dublin, nor the Dr. P story.

It may indeed be a stretch, but when my family visited the museum, there were a lot of people there. I bet the gift shop does a decent business.

I think the owner of Old Doc's estimated more like 80,00 per year. They were open 7 days a week and the annual party had quite a crowd in the 2 days it ran each year. I have had Governor Perry run by my house each year for several years in a row when he participated in the Dublin Dr. Pepper run associated with the event. LOTS of people attend.
I was skiing in Colorado last week and when a man there asked me where we were from and I told him Dublin, his first words were "Dublin Dr. Pepper!" This has also happened to me in New York state as well. You might be surprised how many people are familiar with it.

By the way, it’s the fastest growing city in the country.
It’s Dublin.

I moved to Dallas from out of state about 5 years ago. When I was flying to Dallas to visit before the big move I heard about Dublin DP from the passenger sitting next to me.
I am not a Dr. Pepper fan but that short bottle of Dublin DP served ice cold is yummy !!!!
