- This was one of my favorite exchanges.

My parents wanted me to become Dr. Doctor. But I'm merely a Mr. Mister. So take these broken wings.
- I'm glad you and Ms Mr made it through the Hurricane.

Dr. Who?
- The only question... The question the Silence dreads... The first question in the universe... Doctor Who?

Does it taste like you put the lime in the coconut?
- More like a nut in a creampie

Dr? Doctor.
Thirst? Unquenched.
Hotel? Trivago.
- Visa? Mastercard

Anything labeled "Non-GMO" is bullshit. Whether the "real" sugar in there came from sugarcane or beets those plants have been genetically modified for centuries, long before dipshits decided GMOs were somehow unnatural and scary.

Who?

I mean what else are you gonna name the flavor that is Dr pepper?
Cherry BBQ flavor?
I can't really explain how it tastes except that.
- Dr. Pibb? Mr. Pepper? Mr. Doctor? Dr. Mister?
  
  No I mean the flavor not the name. Sprite tastes like lemon lime, Fanta is orange, grape soda is... Grape. Root beer tastes like cough syrup, etc...
  What the hell does Dr pepper taste like?
  I think it tastes like BBQ sauce with cherry in it.
  
  Mister Mister

The labels on that are funnier

Oh, doctor, doctor I must have gotten this sick somehow

The store brand at Harris Teeter in Virginia was called Dr Smooth.

Everybody do the doctor doctor

Give me the news, I've got a... bad case of lovvvvvvin youuuuuu
- Somebody always got to beat me to it. I'm not nearly as clever as I think I am. :(
  
  Don't think of it as a race, think of it as an opportunity to find kindred spirits
  
  Same. I just came in to upvote it. But, also, I take minor pride in knowing what the first comment will be.
  
  You're still clever. But also we share lots of common experiences which is a cool thing, not a personal shortcoming. But I get the feeling too.
  
  Aww. It's mainly boredom and luck that I was able to catch it. Lol.
- For some reason I have strong memories of my childhood dentist having this song on. They almost always had a "soft rock" station on, which to young me was very awful.
  
  My dentist was similar. I heard so much Tom Petty and Van Halen on my dentist trips

- Forgot that Terry Gilliam was in Spies Like Us

"Hand crafted, Real Sugar, Small batch"
Everything okay over there America?
- No
  
  Not by a long shot.
- It just looks like craft soda in a fountain?
- May be real, but it's made from corn. Too sweet for moi
  
  More likely beets.

🎵Can't you see I'm burpin, burpin?🎵
- Little bit of Thompson Twins? Nice.
  
  Definitely had a cross between "it's an older meme" and "I understood that reference" memes fighting it out before posting, wondering how many people might actually get the reference.

Major Major Major Major

Oh, the mess I'm in
- Waiter: "What would you fellas like to drink?"
  UFO: "Dr. Doctor! Please!"
- I was hopping for someone to reference UFO or I would myself. Happy to not be disappointed.
- Please. I applaud you on the UFO reference instead of Robert Palmer.

🎶 Doctor, Doctor, say what you see, I've got a bad case of diabetes 🎶

Jokes on them, I would have got that from a Mr. Doctor.
- Why'd dude have to drop out so early

Can these machines even operate using glucose syrup? They seem to be attempting to get in on the non-corn syrup craze, but I don’t think they’re physically capable of using what they’re implying, but not stating.
- Rest of the world exists you know, where corn doesn't get insane subsidies and sugar cane / beet is far cheaper than corn syrup.
  Ingredients of our Cola bag-in-box for postmix machine: Water, sugar, colouring (sulphite ammonia caramel), acid (phosphoric acid), flavourings (contains caffeine), sweeteners (acesulfame-K, sucralose), preservative (sodium benzoate), anti-foaming agent (dimethylpolysiloxane)
  Oh, sugar tax and health labels (green A good, red E bad) made everyone cut back a little and add some sweetener... Meh.
  
  It is a US product made with cane sugar, I don’t see the relevance of the rest of the world
  “Currently RHB does business with More than 3500 customers all around Texas“
- Yes.

Real Sugar

The AI forgot to actually add a cup.
- I don’t think this one is AI, just a weird cup angle.

  I have a bottle of the Dr. Doctor syrup in my pantry. I forgot I had it tbh, since I haven't been drinking soda for a while. It's a decent brand if you have a machine that carbonates water.
