Still don't get it. What does Pepsi and Sonic have to do with baptism?

Arabic speakers often have trouble pronouncing the p and in Arabic Pepsi is called Bebsi. This became a meme several years ago.

Oh is that where that annoying 🅱️ meme from a couple of years ago came from?

Memory un🅱️locked

No, 🅱️ came from mirroring how "bloods" would replace a "crips" tag C with B, likewise were C's and later other letters replaced with 🅱️

Reason being for this is that P doesn't exist in Arabic. Same thing with V. It's replaced with f.

For preserving the least toxic and most culturally relevant Tumblr heritage posts.

Image descriptions and plain text captions of written content are expected of all screenshots. Here are some image text extractors (I looked these up quick and will gladly take FOSS recommendations):

-web

-iOS

-android

Please begin copied raw text posts (lacking a screenshot that makes it apparent it is from Tumblr) with:
