I could write a 10-page essay on how much Dr Pepper means to me. If we forget about Big Red and sweet tea for a second, I would have to say that it's Dr Pepper running through my veins. Don't worry, I drink plenty of water, but Dr Pepper is my go-to drink for a southern meal. It doesn't matter how early it is. I'm drinking a Dr Pepper with my breakfast at 10 a.m.
Also, when I ask for a coke, I absolutely mean Dr Pepper. Now that you know how much this soda means to me, you'll see why Texans are so excited about a Dr Pepper candle. That first sip does something to me each morning. The fizz in my chest might actually be what's keeping my heart pumping. When I heard I could buy a Dr Pepper scented candle, I knew the candle smell of my favorite soda would get me to crawl out of bed on a cold Monday morning.
Emily's Candles & Bath Dr Pepper Candle
- Made from soy wax
- 9-oz jar
- Wonderful Amazon reviews
You can get the soy candle on Amazon for $12.99. It's the perfect gift for any Dr Pepper lover. There's a 50-70 hour burn time. I say light this candle and watch as the wax melts until you can get your Dr Pepper soda fix with a nice cold can of Dr Pepper and cream soda or a Dr Pepper shake from Whataburger.
This handmade candle will smell like you just opened an ice-cold soda can. Yum! The Dr Pepper scent is so sweet but smells so delicious. If Dr Pepper soda pop isn't your cup of tea, you can always opt for a Mountain Dew scent. (Sprite sounds like a unique fragrance too.)
Hand Poured Soda Pop Can Candle
- Made from American grown soybeans
- $15
- Excellent reviews
716CandleCo is always selling a Dr Pepper can soy wax candle. These candles are hand-poured from the highest quality wax and fragrance oil. I love burning candles every day, so knowing that these upcycled ones will last a good amount of time makes my Dr Pepper-filled heart happy.
It's been Dr Pepper over Coca-Cola soda and Pepsi since day one. If anyone is wondering what to get me for my birthday, Christmas, or just for any occasion, I'll happily take a Dr Pepper jar candle.
Be sure to get your hands on a bag of Dr Pepper cotton candy this summer.
