My dad was always joking to me as a kid that Mr Pibb was just Dr Pepper after somehow losing their credentials, which would incidentally create an association with a gendered name
The last fannon I saw was that Mr. Pibb was the husband of Dr. Pepper. He supported her through medical school, and now she supports him in his "extra" phase.
The period (full stop) after Dr was used intermittently in Dr Pepper logos until the 1950s,[29] when, after some debate, it was discarded permanently, for stylistic and legibility reasons.
It was present in the initial naming of the drink.

I've always mentally equated Dr. Pepper to Sgt. Pepper from Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.
But, now that I think about it, Sgt. Pepper could be a woman, too. Maybe I'm also a bad person.

They call St. Pepper a he in the song, so it couldn't be.

You know what, the drink came out in 1880. Not a lot of women doctors at the time.
Actually... I am a worse human being for justifying this thinking...

Could still be that Dr. Pepper is a guy though.

I like to picture my Dr. Pepper as a quack who moonlights as a soda dealer in dark alleys.

If you don’t pay up, his cousin Dr. Thunder will have to come to town… and you don’t want that.

My dudes. There is no dot after the Dr in Dr Pepper. They didn’t spend 8 years in Dr school to be called Dr.

I've never thought of Doctor Pepper as a guy either, tbf. Never even considered it as more than a product name.

I always think of Dr. Pepper from married at first sight

Dr. Pepper was invented in 1885. Pretty sure women who tried to become doctors were burned at the stake back then.

First female doctors in India, Japan, & Syria, 1885.
