People tweeting stuff. We allow tweets from anyone.

RULES:

  1. Mark NSFW content.
  2. No doxxing people.
  3. Must be a pic of the tweet or similar. No direct links to the tweet.
  4. No bullying or international politcs
  5. Be excellent to each other.
  6. Provide an archived link to the tweet (or similar) being shown if it's a major celebrity, figure or any politician. If you replace the "x" at their site with xcancel (so it beomes xcancel.com), and you're not on mobile, it will save video. https://web.archive.org/save is another great option. Archive.is is no longer recommended because they remove/alter content.

I've never considered it's a person... To me I only associate it as the name of the drink and never thought deeper about where it came from.

Same with Mr. Pibb, and that had the gender right in the name. I just, never thought about it.

It's Pibb Xtra now -- Pibb's finally living their best life.

I don't think I've ever heard anyone ever call it Pibb Xtra in person. Of course over the years I have heard Pibb a lot more than I used to lol, but still, Pibb Xtra? So weird.
