In 1978, Jake Holmes wrote the lyrics to ''Be a Pepper''. Earlier in the 1970s, Randy Newman wrote another jingle entitled ''The Most Original Soft Drink Ever''. Barry Manilow performed Holmes's jingle in concerts and on albums under the inclusion of ''VSM -- Very Strange Medley''. A TV commercial was also created using the jingle and ran from 1977 to 1985. The song noted ''It's not a cola, it's something much much more. It's not a root beer, you get root beer by the score.'' (W.W. Clements, former CEO and president of the Dr Pepper/7-Up Company, similarly described the taste of Dr Pepper as one-of-a-kind, saying, ''I've always maintained you cannot tell anyone what Dr Pepper tastes like because it's so different. It's not an apple, it's not an orange, it's not a strawberry, it's not a root beer, it's not even a cola. It's a different kind of drink with a unique taste all its own.'')
