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
Dr. Marijuana Pepsi, on the other hand, is a woman.
Based reference
Look at you! You got the 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.
I always thought of it as a vegetable.
I thought it was a spice.
…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?
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.
Dur pepper to me.
It was made for me! This is my soda!
Democratic Republic (of) Pepper.
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.To Europeans it tastes like mouthwash
It’s not selling very well I don’t think
I thought that was Root Beer?
I’m German and I like both… Root beer is really difficult to get, though.
Europeans drink mouthwash?!!
TIL…
My mom told me Dr. Pepper was made from prune juice, which I guess is party true about the original formula.
I haven’t looked in a while but in 2020, prune juice was still in the mandatory ingredients list. It’s mainly corn syrup and water, but prune juice is involved, I think
Yeah, she’s probably so done with people going “Doctor Pepper? Don’t you mean nurse?”.
This meme reminded me of this sketch.
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.
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)
