...or that Dr. Pepper's degree might be in herpetology or Renaissance literature.

I have an excuse though. Doctor is closer to doutor (male doctor) than doutora (female doctor)

I never considered Dr Pepper as a person because they made a big deal about how it doesn't have a period in the name, like an actual doctor title would. So it's always just been a brand name to me.

But I'm a bit neurotic about nitpicky details like that.

Dr Pepper was designed to taste like what a soda fountain smells like, a mix of flavors like when you made "swamp water" as a kid.
So it's "Dur Pepper's Monster" to me.

My mom told me Dr. Pepper was made from prune juice, which I guess is party true about the original formula.

To Europeans it tastes like mouthwash

It's not selling very well I don't think

I mean, they did have an entire ad campaign that was just misogyny a while back. Although then again maybe she was working through some shit.

Funnily enough I picked Dr. Pepper as a guy because I think "Doctor hocking Miracle Tonic" and I think of late 1800s "doctor" do sleazy shit

He just gotta have a curly moustache

Of course they're a guy. Otherwise it'd be Drs. Pepper. ~/s~

For some reason I imagine dr pepper looking like a slightly bigger louis armstrong wearing a red t shirt standing by a kroger and I do not have the faintest idea why

Only ever herd about pepper as a female name, but looking it up it seems unisex https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pepper_(name)
