Dr. Pepper, MD
Started by Chemdude
Back in the day, in the 30's I believe, soft-drinks were made as a cure all. Doctors would prescribe people soda for things such as stomach issues, headache, cancer, it really did not matter. Not to mention that many of these drinks contained cocaine, which is what made people feel better.
Ironically, soda does kind of help with headache and stomach upset. So in answer to your question, I don't know for sure, but it sounds about right.

Get outa town. DP is the bomb.com
yeah same. It has that weird taste. I like Coke, Sprite, fanta, root beer, almost anything better than Dr Pepper.

I think a lot of people don't like it cuz it has prunes in it. I love it though.

Delicious medicine. Seriously Diet Dr. Pepper is the best soda out there. I have like six twelve packs sitting on top of my fridge. It's the only soda I buy.
Also: [Mitch]Mr. Pibb is a poor imitation of Dr. Pepper. Dude didn't even get his degree.[/Mitch]

lmao, funny thing is, I saw the pictures you posted, then considered how your avatar (pedobear) would look doing the same thing... oh man, lol
This thread is awesome, as is Dr. Pepper.
BTW, for those who are curious, I chose this avatar not because Dr. Pepper is my favorite soda (it's a tie between Dr. Pepper and Mountain Dew to be honest), but because of a pretty famous Mitch Hedberg joke.
"Mr. Pibb is a replica of Dr Pepper, but it's a bull**** replica, 'cuz dude didn't even get his degree. Why did you have to drop out of school and start making pop so soon?"

Dr. Pepper is awesome. Tastes like cherry coke.
Now root bear....THAT'S disgusting...that s*** tastes like pepto bismol, and it's got a weird aftertaste that you can't get rid of for like an hour. It's nasty.

The grad students in my department have a tradition of putting name tags on all the first year's desks with random or ironic nicknames. When I was a first year, it was common knowledge that I had a particular facination with the idea of prepending "Dr." to my name someday, as well as a bad habit of drinking pop, and thus I was "Dr. Pepper, PhD." Perhaps Dr. Pepper is a physicist?
Dang it! I was 3 minutes too late to make this joke 😡
But while we're at it... what not a DDS or a PharmD? 😉
