Oh, yeah. The Gwen Stacy of Earth-65 ends up thrown to an unknown Earth somewhere in the multiverse. But don't worry--she has a way to tell where she is...maybe.
Not only does Coca-Cola have their Mr. Pibb, but virtually every lower-tier soda manufacturer and grocery chain has their own completely original, please don't sue us version of the good Dr.:
But that's not all!! Because this is the internet, I can show you a list of sixty (60!!) different Dr. P knock-offs!!
So, unless our Earth is unique in having so many Dr. Pepper clones, you probably can't tell which Earth you're on that way, Gwen. Although, as far as I can tell, we have no Professor Pop or Professor Pow here. So you're not on our Earth.
Maybe you can try going by Mountain Dew varieties...?
That group shot is a bit out of date - since Delhaize America dropped the "My Essentials" private label in favor of individual store brands there are at least two, more likely three or four regional variants of Dr. Perky.
ReplyDeleteHere in Texas, the HEB grocery chain offers Dr. B as the store-level substitute for Dr. Pepper. HEB takes its name from the initials of the founder, Howard Edward Butt.
ReplyDeleteSo Dr. B means Dr. Butt.
No joke, that really is the founder's name.
That just says something about our particular Earth...
