Dr Pepper
The original. One pharmacist, 23 flavors, and a soft drink that has built a loyal following. Here are the caffeine numbers, the nutrition facts, and the fastest way to get a case to your door.
A 12 fl oz can of Dr Pepper contains 150 calories, 39 g of sugar, 41 mg of caffeine, and 55 mg of sodium. All 39 grams are added sugar, which is 78% of the FDA daily value. Those four figures are the entire nutrition label for the standard can. Every other pack size, from the 7.5 fl oz mini to the 2 litre bottle, scales from them, and the full per-size table is below.
This page is the complete Dr Pepper nutrition label in one place: every pack size, the ingredient list, and the caffeine, calorie, sugar and sodium figures together, which the manufacturer publishes across several separate pages. Each figure here is taken from the printed can and cross-checked against Keurig Dr Pepper's own published product data, and the sources are listed at the foot of the page. Last verified against the label on August 31, 2026.
Original Dr Pepper is the one that started it all, invented by pharmacist Charles Alderton in Waco, Texas, in 1885. Its flavor comes from a secret blend of 23 flavors. If you want a different pack, the size-by-size table has the mini can, the 20 oz bottle, the fountain cup and the 2 litre, so you do not have to do the math yourself.

What are the nutrition facts for each Dr Pepper size?
The 12 fl oz can is the reference pack, and everything else scales from it. This is the nutrition information for every size Dr Pepper is commonly sold in.
| Size | Calories | Sugar | Caffeine |
|---|---|---|---|
| 7.5 fl oz mini can | 90 | 24 g | ~26 mg |
| 12 fl oz can | 150 | 39 g | ~41 mg |
| 16.9 fl oz bottle * | ~210 | ~55 g | ~58 mg |
| 20 fl oz bottle | 250 | 64 g | ~68 mg |
| 32 fl oz fountain cup | ~400 | ~103 g | ~110 mg |
| 2 liter bottle * | ~845 | ~220 g | ~230 mg |
* Calories and sugar for the 16.9 fl oz bottle and the 2 litre are scaled from the 12 fl oz label rather than read off their own pack. The fountain figure is a range in practice, because ice displaces soda and cup sizes vary. Everything else comes from the printed label.
Common questions about Dr Pepper
Does Dr Pepper have caffeine?
Yes. As the ingredients above show, caffeine is in every regular Dr Pepper. A 12 fl oz can has about 41 mg, which is less than a cup of coffee but plenty to keep you reaching for the next one. There is a full breakdown in how much caffeine is in Dr Pepper, and if a daily can has turned into a habit, here are the signs of a Dr Pepper addiction.
How many calories does Dr Pepper have?
Calories depend on the package size, and the Nutrition Facts panel on each pack lists the exact amount. A regular 12 fl oz can has 150 calories. There is more on this in how much sugar is in Dr Pepper.
How much sugar does Dr Pepper have?
Quite a lot, and it is all added sugar. If you are watching it, Dr Pepper Zero and Diet Dr Pepper have the same 23-flavor taste with none of the sugar.
Does Dr Pepper have prune juice in it?
No. Despite the long-running myth, Dr Pepper contains no prune juice. The taste is that unique blend of natural and artificial flavors.
