What kind of doctor is Dr. Pepper?

[Tummler]

My guess: proctologist.

And why isn't Mr. Pibb a doctor? Weren't his grades good enough? Or is he still working on his Ph.D. dissertation?

[KissMyAsscroft]

1. Ear, Nose and Throat...

That's what the word on the street is...

[TheMightyFavog]

2. Mr. Pibb

He earned his MA in Fine Arts, and has no intentions of getting his Ph.D.

[Plaid Adder]

3. I think Dr. Pepper has a PhD. in KICKIN' ASS!

Or at least in infusing enough caffeine to provide a decent kick.

Mr. Pibb is a professor of British literature at an elite boys' preparatory school in Connecticut.

C ya,

4. Dr. Pepper is a family doctor

Who lost his son two years ago in a tragic accident.

I'm not kidding, he lives near me.

[camero]

5. Well, when you shake him

He's a head doctor. :D

[meegbear]

6. Appliance Repair

7. dr. pepper

I think he's one of those guys that got a fake medical licencse.

[FunBobbyMucha]

8. Endocrinologist. And immensely envious of his Bi-Lo knock-off,

"Dr. Perfect." Valevictorian at Sugar University and everything.

[felonious thunk]

17. ha!

Yes, Dr. Pepper is most definitely an endocrinologist. He pracitices up in the mountains; the dew sparkles in the morning. He's up at 7, and gets ready for the daily crush of work. His office is in Canada, where it's dry, excepting for the mist from the Sierras.

[Aristus]

9. Wouldn't he be a pharmacologist?

After all, the soda was originally sold at drug stores.

10. Mr. Pibb is

Dr. Pepper's younger brother (the black sheep of the family) who could never live up to the image his older brother created. (That's why he's ALMOST as good as DP - but not quite).

[Tummler]

11. Upon further study: was Pibb trying to overthrow the government?

http://www.misterpibb.com/history.htm

Mr. PiBB was first marketed with the slogan "It Goes Down Good." This was printed on the original Brown and Yellow steel cans and point of sale (POS) promotional materials. Some other advertising pieces during this time included variations of the slogan, namely "With the Easy Taste that Goes Down Good," and "Smooth and Easy It Goes Down Good." "Rise Up With Mr. PiBB" was also used.

The first internal Coca-Cola Company promotion for the brand was titled "Private Air Force for Mr. PiBB." Coke authorized the production of gift items with the "Private Air Force for Mr. PiBB" logo to be used as incentives for Coke representatives to meet sales goals, set up displays and merchandise the product. For more information about the "Private Air Force" promotion, and the Mr. PiBB hot-air balloon flown during the drink's introduction, click here.

In 1975, Coke changed the color of the Mr. PiBB can to red. This was due to consumer preference research which concluded that the original brownish color used gave off the impression to the consumer that Mr. PiBB was rootbeer, a dangerous marketing mistake since Coke's goal was to capitalize on Dr Pepper's distinction.


Sounds like a dangerous commie radical to me!

15. Hah! ROTFWL

[Tummler]

21. At least Dr. Pepper's infamous nude photos were tasteful

(no pun intended)

[Rowdyboy]

16. Pharmacist Charles Alderton of Waco, Texas

invented it and named it after the father of a woman he loved back in Virginia...

18. Actually, Dr. is his first name, not a title.

He was an unemployed plumber who, while working on an environmentally safe drain cleaner, discovered that his favorite solution had a kick-ass flavor and burn (some wimps couldn't handle the burn), and was only mildly destructive to internal organs.

Mr. Pibb was actually a slave on a plantation near Pascagoula, MS, who invented the same beverage several years earlier, but as a slave, he never got full credit. Um, wait, I think that last part was the story of the cotton gin. My bad.

[KG]

19. he's a phd in physiology but soon to start a radio show posing

as a psychologist, berating men for letting women run their lives.

22. Another copycat, Dr. Smooth

23. A BUSH doctor!

25. Hi, fellow Arkie!

Welcome to DU. Maybe Mr. Pibb flunked out of med school.

[Tummler]

29. Hi!

26. Dr. Rush -- the choice of freepers?

http://www.fakedrpepper.com/drrush.html

Not only is Dr. Rush not a doctor, he's not even a high-school graduate. He can, however, forge prescriptions for OxyContin.

[Rabrrrrrr]

27. He's actually a Timelord, not a "doctor" per se
