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.

Could still be that Dr. Pepper is a guy though.
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…
It’s not completely out of the question nor entirely historically inaccurate, sure I doubt a medical school would teach a women but back then most doctors didn’t go to medical school (especially in more rural areas for sketchier medical institutions).
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.
Women doctors and women in the military?!?

They call St. Pepper a he in the song, so it couldn’t be.
Now there’s a saint too?? This is too many Peppers!
Shit….
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.
Dr Peppa
reminded me of “is dat dr peeEEPPA?” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sP8pEjQgzfg
I like to picture my Dr. Pepper as a quack who moonlights as a soda dealer in dark alleys.
