Man, you're not only not keeping up, but at the end of the day going
forward, you've fallen farther/further behind than anyone in all of
history. In 2001, the black monolith on the Moon told Coca-Cola to
pivot, triangulate, and rename Mr Pibb to Pibb Xtra. And they did. By
my calculus, that was literally about 21 years ago, and the
significance of time is significant by any metric.

If you think that's fake news, try to order a Mister Pibb from Walmart
and see what pops (no pun intended) up. Meanwhile, I've become so
familiar with Pibb Xtra, I just call it by its first name, "Pibb".

No, man. As usual, you have literally miscomprehended me. I'm loyal to
FTL continence pants. For now.

You're right. I haven't seen a Mr. Pibb or Pibb or PibXtra around here.
What's extra about it? I may have to give up Dr. Pepper (I think he's
still a doctor).

It doesn't actually have to be extra - it just has to persuade you

No wonder you need pants (labeled or unlabeled) to put your continence in.
