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 had more of a Ulysses S. Grant looking beard.

He wasn’t actually involved with the drink.

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

Doctoress. Didn’t realize it was actually a word and feel like we should use it more because it’s awesome.

It does kind of sound cool but I thought the current trend was to move away from needlessly gendered language, especially with how in English a lot of feminine nouns are intentionally made to sound like a diminutive form of the masculine version

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.

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.

To Europeans it tastes like mouthwash

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

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

Dr. Pepper is an inanimate soft drink, there is no gender, but the one you assign to it.

Dr. Marijuana Pepsi, on the other hand, is a woman.

Unless you speak a tongue with gendered objects, for me all soft drinks are female.
