Be sure to follow the rule before you head out.
Rule: You must post before you leave.
It does not make you a bad person to correctly interpret what someone means.
When your racist uncle complains about “thugs”, it doesn’t make you a bad person to infer that he means black people.
When you see what you know to be a very old brand, it doesn’t make you a bad person to infer that “doctor”, to the brand-makers, certainly meant “male doctor”.
you guys should show some respect that doctors a war hero.
Nah. Dr. Pepper is from the 1800s. I don't think women were allowed to be doctors back then, so Dr. Pepper being male is a fair assumption.
I mean, it was made by two guys, one of whom may have named it after Dr. Charles T. Pepper. The guy was a real person.
I always thought of it as a machine... Like a crappy auto doc that's actually just a soda machine that's extra slow and noisy for dramatic effect, probably advertised by a snake oil salesman
You can't misgender a brand. You can't deadname a brand. You can't befriend a brand.
You can't deadname a brand
I sure can try with Twitter (derogatory)
I like Hank Green''s version. X is the brand. Twitter is the people on it. You can buy the company, but you can't buy Twitter.
Dr. Pepper is an inanimate soft drink, there is no gender, but the one you assign to it.
Unless you speak a tongue with gendered objects, for me all soft drinks are female.
omg non biney soder
Look at you! You got the joke!
Yeah this thread is full of people not getting a simple joke...
Dr Pepper , what ever their gender, is a quack.
Not sure that he was. He wasn't involved in making the drink, and no one is certain why one of the creatirs seems to have had the drink named after him, but Dr. Charles T. Pepper was a real person and an actual medical doctor.
...or that Dr. Pepper's degree might be in herpetology or Renaissance literature.

His degree was in medicine, no one can prove why the drink may have been named for him, as he wasn't involved in the creation of it
The idea of a female herpetologist releasing a soft drink is amazing
buy lizard piss today, crisp and refreshing!!
j-janeway?
I always thought of it as a vegetable.
I thought it was a spice.
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
He had more of a Ulysses S. Grant looking beard.

He wasn't actually involved with the drink.
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.
Yeah, she's probably so done with people going "Doctor Pepper? Don't you mean nurse?".
I have an excuse though. Doctor is closer to doutor (male doctor) than doutora (female doctor)
I'm gonna steal this excuse and apply it to German (Doktor/Doktorin)
Mr. Pibbs' wife.
I never imagined they were married, just that Dr. Pepper was his superior.
She’s the bread winner; he sits at home, plays Xbox, and smokes weed all day
I think this is my new head cannon, the distracted Mr. Pibb and his focused wife, Dr. Pepper.
That's why they changed over to Pibb Xtra.
Mr. Pibb was going through his midlife crisis, and in a fit, returned to his teenager state of mind. Dr. Pepper keeps hoping he'll break out of it, return to his old self, but she's so wrapped up in her career she can't take the time to be there, and doesn't see the one who's really fueling it.
That filthy whore R.C Cherry.
