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

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.

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

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.

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.
