Dr. Pepper (in real life) has one of the highest concentrations of caffeine in
it of all the major commercial soft drinks (Mountain Dew is up there,
too...and Jolt is...well, Jolt is just Jolt!). This makes it particularly
popular at Cons as a means to fight off sleep deprivation. Now I'm just
guessing here, but I think the PEG folks have a hankerin' for it and decided
to pay homage to it.
