    I get that everyone’s shit posting here, but the answer is that it’s believed Dr. Pepper as a name might be directly referencing an actually Dr. who lived in the area the drink was invented in, but we’re honestly not sure about that at all

    Its entirely possible that it was called that because it was sold in pharmacies and was “spicy” (thus Dr. Pepper), or another alternative I’ve heard is basically that idea but it has caffeine so it meant Dr. Speed, basically

    All that to say: Dr. Pepper is gender fluid, dipshits, I’ll see myself out
