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.
