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

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

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