Dr Pepper

The original. One pharmacist, 23 flavors, and a soft drink that has built a loyal following. Here is the full 12 oz nutrition label, calories, sugar and caffeine for every size, the ingredients, 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 daily value. A 20 fl oz bottle has 240 calories, 65 g of sugar and 68 mg of caffeine. Every size, from the 7.5 fl oz mini can to the 2 liter, is in the table below.

This 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 Keurig Dr Pepper publishes across several separate product pages. I read each figure off those pages myself, and they are linked at the foot of this page. Last checked against Keurig Dr Pepper's data on October 5, 2026.

Original Dr Pepper is the one that started it all, created by pharmacist Charles Alderton in Waco, Texas, and first sold in 1885. Its flavor comes from a secret blend of 23 flavors. Watching the sugar? Dr Pepper Zero Sugar and Diet Dr Pepper have 0 calories, and Dr Pepper Made with Real Sugar has the same numbers as this can with cane sugar in place of corn syrup.

What the 23 flavors actually are is a separate (and fun) question, covered in the 23 flavors of Dr Pepper.

What are the nutrition facts for each Dr Pepper size?

Keurig Dr Pepper publishes a separate label for each bottle and can size. Here they are side by side, so you do not have to open six pages to compare a mini can with a 20 oz.

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 fl oz bottle	190	52 g	55 mg
16.9 fl oz bottle	210	55 g	58 mg
20 fl oz bottle	240	65 g	68 mg
32 fl oz fountain (no ice)	380	102 g	109 mg
2 liter bottle (whole) *	~845	~220 g	~231 mg

* The 2 liter label lists nutrition per 12 fl oz serving (150 calories, 39 g sugar, 41 mg caffeine), so the whole-bottle figures are that serving multiplied out to 2 liters (about 67.6 fl oz). The fountain row is Keurig Dr Pepper's fountain calculator for a 32 fl oz cup with no ice; with ice in the cup, every number drops. All other rows are read off that pack's own label.
