Doodeloo #54: I just fuckin' PIBBED IT!!
PIBB IT.
Life's a can, man. Pull the tab.
DEAR FTC: NO, THEY DID NOT PAY ME FOR THIS. PLEASE. I MEAN SERIOUSLY.
In fact, I paid them eighty-five cents. Worth every penny, nickle and dime.

I love that! The colours are very pleasing to me. But...and don't tell anyone right....I've never had PIBB or Mr. Pibb or Professor Pibb or whatever the hell it's called. Really! Am I missing something awesome?
Hm. Probably not really. It's a worthy product, but a lot of people would call it a Dr. Pepper analogue and there's something to that comparison. I assume you've had Dr. Pepper!
PiBB (per the current officialness) has fewer flavors in the mix than Dr. P, but one of them is just a soupçon of cinnamon, so...there's that going for it.
Well, I like it! What can I say. I'm just trying to give you an unbiased sense of the ballpark it's playing in, soft-drink wise.
I believe Mitch Hedberg put it best:
"I had a Mr. Pibb. Mr. Pibb is a replica of Dr. Pepper...but it's a bullshit replica, because the dude didn't even get his degree!"
That's kind of a ripoff of his joke about Dr. Scholl's only played backwards, but you can't criticize Mitch Hedberg. He beat you to it. Love you Mitch!

Damn I miss that guy.
When I read your line, the first thing I thought of was:
Life's a grenade man, pull the pin!
That's way more bad-ass, but...it's kind of...a little grim, even for an unauthorized/guerilla soft drink promo spot.
