They must not have heard of HEB brand Dr. B. Since HEB stands for Howard E. Butt I assume the B in the drink stands for the same making it Dr. Butt Speaking of weird names, where the heck is Dr. Becker at? (think about it)

I know this could be blasphemy, but I prefer Mr. Pibb over Dr. Pepper.

Poor people around these parts drink Dr. Thunder. I feel sad for anyone that ever has a can. I guess it's a sensible choice though.
If I had to come up with an alternate name though I'd go with Professor Spice.
Dr. Extreme and Dr. Radical should take lessons from Dr. Good Guy. He's a real quality individual.

There really should be one marketed towards old-school metalheads called Doctor Doctor...

Dr. Wham was Pepsi's knock off of Dr. Pepper it was all right.
I prefer Dr. Thunder over Dr. Wham.

The "Our Daily Work" guy? His radio commercials annoy the living hell out of me. Also, no "Dr. Stripes"? Also #2, "Mr. Ahhh" makes me just want there to be one called "The Black Beast of AAAAAGH".

When I worked at Albertsons, we had a soda called "Doctor Bold" and I used to like saying the name in that "helooooooooooo" tone from Seinfeld where Jerry makes up a voice for his girlfriend's belly button.
The Vons that my girlfriend goes to sells "Dr. Dynamite."
The latter is pretty good, the former was not.

It just occured to me that they actually call it "Dr Pepper" and not "Dr. Pepper" now. No period. Probably for trademark purposes.

It just occured to me that they actually call it "Dr Pepper" and not "Dr. Pepper" now. No period. Probably for trademark purposes. It was more for aesthetic purposes than anything. Wikipedia says: "The period (fullstop) after "Dr" was discarded for stylistic and legibility reasons in the 1950s. Dr Pepper's logo was redesigned and the text in this new logo was slanted. The period made "Dr." look like "Di:". After some debate, the period was removed for good (it had been used off and on in previous logos), as it would also help remove any medical connotation with the product."

I remember someone once talking about one called Dr Up as they said was it a Dr Pepper knock-off or a 7-up knockoff?

The save a lot around here sells a Dr Pepper knockoff that's called "Dr. Pop" and it's a pretty tasty replacement for the original. I also love the fact that my mother in law refers to it as Dr. Poop.
