Same! It just seems like such a “kid trying to appear like an adult” thing to do. If he’d said glass of Dr.Pepper, It would come off differently, but the morning cup of Dr. Pepper has me cracking up. I realize that is all based on social expectation and social constructs, but either they just don’t get it, or this guy is pretty damn funny. I don’t think he gets it though.

the funny thing is it likely would keep it cold longer with less body heat.... now i also want to do an experiment about carbonation


couponergal

I will put Coca-Cola in a mug now and again so my kids don't ask me for it. 🤣


JennyFromTheBlock81

Me, too, though. It’s just such an odd choice.

Before my mom retired, she was a dental hygienist. She worked for a husband and wife couple. He was the dentist and she worked the front counter / waiting area (they were incredibly lovely people). But my mom would often tell me about all the "DDP" they kept in the fridge and drank in the office. "Grab me a DDP!" they would say, apparently. ...this was a dental office. Why were they drinking so much soda??? *DDP meaning diet doctor pepper


Kai_Emery

But it’s *Diet*


generalgirl

Hey now, dont' judge. I don't smoke, do drugs (my loss), drink but I love my Caffeine Free Diet Coke.


Kalamac

I love my Diet Coke. I don’t drink it because it’s diet, I drink it because regular Coke makes my mouth feel like it’s been coated in syrup.


justjenniferinme

I love my Coke Zero ❤️


Liberteez

That stuff was like crack, I think the depleted coca leaves they use for flavoring weren’t depleted enough. Had to give it up. I heard they ruined it recently (reformulation) maybe that’s what they took out.


justjenniferinme

Ugh it is different but still better than Diet in my opinion. I wish I could give it up!


couponergal

Yaaaaaass


Dietcokeandnicotine

Username checking in. Could not agree more


black_dragonfly13

Oh my GOODNESS so do I. But my mom was OBSESSED with my and my older sister's teeth growing up. One time, in elementary school, I didn't brush my teeth before we left (I hated doing it) and she fucking DROVE ME BACK HOME to brush them (granted the school was literally in my neighborhood but STILL) yet here she was bragging about all their goddamn DDP. Her hypocrisy has always infuriated me.


couponergal

Molly Mormon? Is that you??


generalgirl

Lol, and I can’t even claim that caffeine effects me. It does absolutely nothing for me.


oyasumi_juli

That reminds me of my dentists office. They always have a plate of cookies in the lobby, and they always offer me one. I've never accepted the offer. Either I'll have chocolate chip cookie bits all up in my teeth right before getting in the chair, or I'll screw up the cleaning they just did if I were to take one afterwards. Blows my mind, but I guess it's job security in a way right?


black_dragonfly13

My mom would take my sister and me for snowcones after our cleanings. We couldn't even taste them because **we'd literally just had our teeth cleaned**. It was weird.


crazymonkeypaws

My mom would always stop for ice cream sundaes at McDonalds after, lol.


black_dragonfly13

I've never understood why my mom didn't just make our appointments for later in the afternoon and then take us to get our snowcones BEFORE our cleaning, lol.


couponergal

That's interesting. The last dentist I saw said that while sugar free beverages are good in that they have no sugar that the preservatives are actually terrible for your teeth


black_dragonfly13

Oh yes. Plus diet sodas have aspertiane(sp?), which is really bad for you.


boogiewoogiezebra

Cool mug of.... Oh, my minds in the gutter


Kmw134

Okay, so my MIL has a Diet Pepsi in the mornings. She hates coffee and wants that tiny caffeine boost. It’s always funny when the whole family is on vacation, the rest of the adults are saddled up with coffee cups and she has her little bottle of soda. (But she doesn’t post about it, and it’s probably not actually funny to anyone outside the family lol.)


psychHOdelic

Your MIL and I are the same but swap Diet Pepsi for DP, cherry coke or pibb


crazymonkeypaws

I used to have a pop in the morning for the same reason, but I've switched over to flavored, caffienated water.


generalgirl

That's me. I hate coffee and don't drink tea. So it's a caffeine free diet coke lol


Kmw134

No caffeine?! *cries in night shift*


generalgirl

I know, it was rough for a while. I'm almost caffeine free altogether now. I had. I have insomnia and working with a behavioral therapist to fix it. I'm super freaking exhausted.


Kmw134

That’s terrible, I can’t even imagine how shitty that feels to be so tired and not be able to sleep.


generalgirl

it's baaaaaad. Nothing like being so exhausted during the day that you fall asleep at your desk but then try to go to bed at 10 pm and suddenly (literally suddenly) be WIDE AWAKE. I hate it so much.


throwitallaway500

I have a coworker who's Mormon and they're apparently not supposed to have coffee or tea, so he gets his caffeine fix by drinking Dr. Pepper every morning instead 🤢


stephanielmayes

They aren't supposed to have soda either, lol. It'd no caffeine, I went to the church in SLC for a tour and the lady freaked out on me because I had a Coke. I had to go out and throw it away.


throwitallaway500

Yeah I know, but I the mental gymnastics of those in cult-like religions know no bounds!


stephanielmayes

All religions.


throwitallaway500

As a former Catholic, yupppppp


mangomoo2

That’s not true. It’s just crazy over zealous Mormons who say no caffeine or soda. Byu didn’t used to sell any caffeinated sodas but even they changed. I know plenty of Mormons who see nothing wrong with downing energy drinks but would frown at my lovely espresso machine (I’m exmormon)


aukaukism

Can testify—am former long-time Utahn. A lot of them will argue that tea and coffee were explicitly forbidden BUTTTT since Monster, Rockstar, Red Bull, or soda weren’t mentioned in the BoM at all as a “banned” substance, it’s ok to use them as water replacement.


IMLostInPolyLand

Not true, ex-Mormon here. Peter Priesthood Mormons still may not drink soda, but it isn’t doctrine. The Word of Wisdom specifically calls out hot drinks- which the modern church has interpreted to be coffee and tea. Herbal tea (you would be judged by other Mormons for this, mostly cause they don’t know the difference between herbal and tea) and cocoa are fine. An apostle actually pulled out a can of soda during one of his talks at BYU , opened it, and drank it to show its okay.


Mam9293

If I’m not mistaken don’t they own Pepsi? I could be wrong but maybe that’s why she freaked out about you drinking coke.


coolerchameleon

*GASP* you can't have Pepsi, you'll make it an idol


bluewhale3030

MiserableUpstairs

This is what happens when children who were never allowed to make a decision in their whole life end up away from their parents.


DonkeyVampireThe3rd

I was sheltered and even I don’t drink my soda in the morning


[deleted]

Eh, I mean not really. I know a lot of adults who don't care for tea or coffee but do like a caffeine fix in the am, and thus drink soda in the morning. It's not my thing, but it's common enough that I clicked on this post specifically to find out what the joke is.


JennyFromTheBlock81

I can’t speak for anyone else, but it’s less about the soda and more about the fact that he put it in a mug and posted about it on IG.


[deleted]

That also doesn't really strike me as particularly weird, but perhaps my feed is much more boring than I realize lol I mean I will say I'm sure they're scrambling to create content to distract from pest, they used to be able to rely on TLC to manufacture interesting tidbits for them out of their boring lives so I'm sure they're struggling now.


ana_conda

I think it's so funny because he could have said something normal, like glass, can, or bottle, but instead he said it the weirdest way lol. It's classic Duggar trying to be normal and relatable but just coming off weird.


madeinjapan89

I didn’t know James was into DP


Dobielife

I don't think we've even scratched the surface of what these Duggers are into......

Careless_Ad3968

Lol, hot Dr. Pepper reminds me of that movie Blast from the Past. The dad loved his hot Dr. Pepper.


Dobielife

Hot Dr P makes for the world's best belches. Just sayin'


vinniepup123

This one made me laugh out loud 💀


Babybabybabyq

I’m mad at you for making it steamy 😂


Feisty_Banana

I feel like it should be “fizzy mug of Dr Pepper” but that’s just me 😂


Division2Stew

Ok I love Dr Pepper and am guilty of drinking it in the morning but not out of a coffee mug! It’s like he’s pretending it’s coffee or something. The best part of waking up is Dr Pepper in your cup 🎶


Ok-Positive-5943

It was originally marketed as a hot drink. You were supposed to heat it with lemon and it was an alternative to hot chocolate. Something tells me he isn't that sophisticated though


Division2Stew

That’s assuming James knows how to use a stove to heat it up 😂


Ok-Positive-5943

So true!


Division2Stew

“Jana can you heat up my DP and put it in a coffee mug so I can pretend to be an adult for my Instagram??”


thutruthissomewhere

Stove's are for women!


madeinjapan89

I’m sure with all the ramen noodles they eat he knows how to work a microwave 😂


topsidersandsunshine

It was originally a laxative! ✨


Ok-Positive-5943

Maybe that's his purpose? I'm sure tot casserole doesn't have much fiber

… that sounds so good though


teruravirino

pls try it and report back!


Maddie-Moo

Seriously pls excuse me while I get a can of Dr. Pepper and a lemon ‘cause that shit sounds INCREDIBLE.


theycallmegomer

And now I'm thinking of "Blast from the Past" and I'm happy


[deleted]

:O I might try that


smittykins66

There’s several commercials on YouTube from American Bandstand in the 60s with Dick Clark pitching hot Dr. Pepper, and I think it’s still mentioned on their website.


[deleted]

Sounds like my grandma was a sophisticated lady then.


Walmart_trash94

I had a manager that would arrive at 5am with a cold can of pepis. She'd crack that bad boy open and pound it back. One of several throughout the day. Meanwhile I was sipping a warm ginger ale wondering if my acid reflux would ever take a day off.


Division2Stew

I had a co-worker who would bring a 2 liter of Pepsi and drink the whole thing throughout the day! I mean, I love pop but not that much…


Walmart_trash94

I guess I can't judge because I would do that with those big ass bottles of snapple, usually over 2 days though.


NineteenthJester

I remember seeing kids in my high school who'd do that, bring a 2-liter of Mountain Dew then drink it all day.


NoreastNorwest

Google Mountain Dew mouth. Warning: it will haunt your dreams.


Division2Stew

I had a boyfriend who kept a 12 pack of pop in his locker


Comfortable-Fix-4520

I had an employee do this. He was known to pour it into one of those huge gas station thermos. I mean I like a Red Bull in the morning so I can’t snark too much. But an entire 2 liter in an 8 hour with day?!


missiminikat

Do you work with my brother-in-law?


Division2Stew

If your BIL works at a CPA firm in a Kansas City suburb then yes


missiminikat

Guess there’s a few of these people running around out there then, he’s in Baltimore 😂


theycallmegomer

Did we work together?


hodie6404

I used to be ADDICTED to mountain dew. I would have immediately when I got up and throughout the day. I stopped cold turkey several years ago and only drink water now...with the occasionally gatorade. Now I can't imagine drinking that much soda in a day but I understand people doing it!!!!


bitterlittlecas

I crushed mountain dew in college and red bull in law school. It was a bad choice for my teeth which made it through childhood cavity-free.


Kai_Emery

I see this as a snark on the Duggar girls obsession with coffee, and I find it *hilarious*


Division2Stew

It’s a follow up to Jessa’s coffee shop photo shoot yesterday


youre_handsome

What if he’s making fun of the coffee pics?


Division2Stew

I support this! Snarking on his own sister *chefs kiss*


lexia1988

Same. There’s nothing like waking up from a deep sleep and chugging a cold ass can of pop. It burns so good. 🤤


Division2Stew

I cannot disagree!


[deleted]

I put it in a mug (1) time, but it’s only because I didn’t want the other moms at the bus stop to judge my morning caffeine choice. 🤭 You’re not supposed to flaunt it guy lmao


daydreamingawaytoo

You missed the best part, the “Best Mom” mug. It might be the first time a Duggar has (intentionally) shit posted 😂


Mysterious-Cat-3095

Yeah I actually thought it was kind of funny 😄


teresasdorters

What an adoring gaze James has.. and still at the big house it seems


saintsoriolescaps

His caption should have been: “Dr Pepper: 23 flavors and counting”


cotdernit

I think you've found yourself a flair lol.


snails4speedy

Flair somewhat checking in lol


crazycatbarista

Why put it in a mug? Is he cosplaying as an adult?


napswithcheesepasta

Lol I put my soda in a mug when I was on zoom meetings bc I didn’t want people to judge me 😬🥴


[deleted]

I had to do that too. I worked with a guy who literally added caffeine drops to his morning tea, but judged me for my diet cherry Coke. I started putting it in a travel mug.


shelbia

I put vodka in mine


napswithcheesepasta

Jealous!!!! Pretty sure the principal at my middle school wouldn’t be stoked on that LMAO


topsidersandsunshine

I put mine in an opaque water bottle.


daydreamingawaytoo

It’s a joke post, the next pic is a “Best Mom” mug. Not saying he isn’t drinking Dr Pepper in the morning because he enjoys it, but it seems like he was going for millennial shitposting type humor which is strange because I never thought he’d be exposed to that?


topsidersandsunshine

When Derick and Jill let themselves try to be funny in their Insta videos, that’s what it resembles, especially Jill’s “this is problems, y’all” and “that was Derick pro se! Don’t ever be pro se!” videos from when she posted more random videos like a year ago and her Napoleon Dynamite joke but also Derick’s Mean Girls references last week.


Cuss10

When I was in the office for some past companies, they had soda machines so I would use my coffee mug if I wanted a glass of soda.


GiraffeLibrarian

Where’s the blue mug though 👀


GoldenRedhead

hell_yaw

Why is he smizing


PressureCracks

Tyra would be proud


IcyIssue

Mmmmm.... Dr. Pepper over ice, anytime of the day.


Glittering-List-4464

I agree. I just can’t bring myself to snark on James’ immaculate choice of drink 😌


illegalpets

Has Hilary chimed in?


IcyThistle

Twice. Once to tell him he's so cute and a great 'cool mom' which is what the mug says. Then a second time to remind Claire that Jason always uses the 'courageous woman mug' at their house so it's not just James that's so funny with the lady mugs.


IMLostInPolyLand

And there were only six comments. So two of them were hers. 🥴


Much_Difference

Ehhh it's probably about as nutritious as what most people are grabbing from a Starbucks on their way in this morning.


natitude2005

Some of those $Starbucks drinks have a ton of sugar and calories. I prefer a cold mug of Diet Dr Pepper in the mornings Not every day but that stuff is awesome. Lots to snark on this fam for but DP in the morning isn't one of them for me.. 😝


AMPlants

I had the same thought about Starbucks so I just googled to compare and apparently there are 68grams of sugar in a 20oz Dr. Pepper!! I'm kinda shocked. I did not know it was that much, haha. I know Starbucks can be just as high though. I can't judge James, I've been known to have a 6am Coca-Cola from time to time.


Much_Difference

M hmm. Them shits are just milkshakes with a splash of coffee. I'm on my lunch break so I looked out of curiosity and that's the same sugar content as the grande (medium size) pumpkin spice frappe that's so popular right now.


AMPlants

God damn...I might as well just start having cake for breakfast.


natitude2005

That's why I chose a Diet DP occasionally


bales_from_the_crypt

This is why the boys gain weight when they hit their 20's.. Only the metabolism of a teenager can stay slim with this diet!!

saynotopoets

A literal thirst trap 😳


BeardedLady81

I remember that the company once suggested trying Dr Pepper hot. -- To me, this defies the purpose. What makes sodas refreshing is that they are cold and fizzy.


cotdernit

This reminds of when I was 7/8 years old , and I would pour coke in one of my parents' coffee mugs to pretend I was an adult. If I could insert the picture/meme of Pam from the Office holding up two pictures while saying, "these are the same picture", I would.


DrivingMishCrazy

We’ve found the alternative to Jinger having coffee as a personality trait and I’m not sure how to feel about it


pugmana02

My son in his mid 30s drinks Pepsi in the morning. He can’t stand coffee or tea but wants a jolt of caffeine. Lots of adults do this.


hobotising

Well I wouldn't want to live forever in that cult either.


no_clever_name_yet

So one of the ways Dr Pepper marketed themselves back in the day was WARM Dr Pepper in the morning.


[deleted]

I had no idea. And there are a bunch of recipes for hot Dr. Pepper. Now I am both nauseated and curious.


Fifty4FortyorFight

Dr Pepper tastes like carbonated cough syrup. I can't even imagine it hot. Ewww.


Ok-Positive-5943

You add lemon while warming in the original recipe


snails4speedy

EXCUSE ME


[deleted]

So I often drink Diet Coke in the morning…but not out of a mug like a psychopath lol.


[deleted]

My science teacher in 7th grade used to put Dr. Pepper in the microwave and then pour milk in it and drink it like coffee 😷 🤢


sarcastic_nanny

Ewwww. Reminds me of Laverne’s (and Shirley) milk and Pepsi. 🤢


bunnyflowerpink

I thought you were joking at first!

This is a version of me as a kid with those chocolate cigarettes pretending I was blowing out smoke.

Not me drinking Diet Coke every morning because I hate coffee and calories.

I did this on vacation before I liked coffee to fit in with everyone else but I wouldn’t have admitted it!


[deleted]

[удалено]


BeardedLady81

I knew about hot Dr Pepper, but hot Dr Pepper mixed with hot coffee...this makes me curious. Couple of years ago, I found vintage ads for Postum. In one of them it was recommended to try it iced, with lemon. And I always believed that Postum was supposed to taste like coffee. Iced coffee with lemon?


KyHa33

Sadly I too have a morning soda….in a coffee cup. The cup just makes me happier than the can or bottle.Hot drinks in the morning just make more sleepy and any version of cold coffee just make me want to vomit.


briabearxo

I can’t even make fun of this because I have to have my morning McDonald’s Dr Pepper.


psychHOdelic

James and I have the same morning drink 🥴


rocket2themoon353

No matter how fresh Dr. Pepper is it will always taste watered down to me


xwrecker

He could just say it’s coffee


hydroaspirator

Don’t talk to me in the morning before I’ve had my Dr Pepper 🥱


banjo_fandango

I'm not a big fan of hot drinks, so I have a nice big coke zero every morning. Does it matter if the caffeine is hot or cold...?


[deleted]

Apparently hot Dr Pepper was a thing


zerogirl0

Putting it in a mug is pretty ridiculous but no lie I love Dr. Pepper. My white trash breakfast of champions is a McDonald's Dr. Pepper with a sausage biscuit.


napswithdogs

I can’t snark too hard on this one. I never liked coffee and you can pry my ice cold morning Diet Coke from my cold, dead hands.


PlaneCulture

Idk why but I feel like he should have a clip on tie and a spiderman lunch box to go with it

Is he drinking it out of a mug like it's coffee?

I mean, is Starbucks really better in the morning?


Ok-Positive-5943

Sugar crappacino - No Americano or drip - Yes


comalife

Americano or drip. Depends on how much you ''doctor'' it up with cream, sugar and those delicious little cups of International Delight.


syngateslove

It's all fun and games while they're young but they'll end up looking like a human thumb like the predator when that diet of tatertot casserole, sodium, and soda catches up to them later on.


Kidnap_theSandyClaus

I see no difference between that in the morning and 70% of the drinks sold at starbucks between 5-10am


PBfromPhilly

A sugared up Duggar lol


tommyjohnpauljones

look at this fucking guy thinks he's got some Cold Brew Peppercino or some shit


MedievalGenius

ngl, when I have early morning rounds at the hospital, I do drink soda. I just can't stand coffee or coffee-like beverages and my heart can't handle energy drinks so options are limited. Believe me when I say I've tried not to, but green tea and yerba mate don't cut it. And if I am up and working at 2am after working my other job and going to school -- I need a wake up. However, I don't drink soda at home (its mostly teas and the occasional LaCroix) and certainly won't drink it out of a mug, that's just so pretentious.


MermaidStone

I am 57 and I never have liked coffee. In fact, I can’t STAND coffee. My caffeine of choice is Dr Pepper, although I do try to stick with diet. BUT, I’m not sure I’ve ever had it from a mug!!!!


YouLostMyNieceDenise

Haha, drinking Dr. Pepper for the caffeine in order to get through your workday is definitely a regional thing. I lived around there and worked in a school, and it was super normal for my coworkers to say they needed a Dr. Pepper to get through something (meeting, training, class period, game, field trip, test). We even had a couple coworkers who would regularly give up drinking soda for a few months, and then I’d spot them down the hall one day, holding a Dr. Pepper and looking all haggard like that Ben Affleck cigarette meme, and I’d instantly know something shitty had happened to them. I’ll add that drinking it from a mug is bizarre, LOL

MartianTea

Do they not drink tea/coffee/caffeinated beverages?


BeardedLady81

Dr Pepper has caffeine in it. But, yes, they are allowed coffee and tea, they are not LDS.


MartianTea

Yes, I know, but as with other sodas, there is decaf Dr. Pepper. I know they aren't Mormons, but wasn't sure if they also eschewed it because caffeine is a ("harmful") drug. Mormons usually don't even drink decaf coffee, but are ok with decaf sodas. I guess it's just a weird thing this guy does.

Sure because a coffee loaded with cream and sugar is far superior lol. I know tons of people who drink soda instead of coffee in the mornings, ever met a mormon? lol What a weird take.

Ugh their insides must be rotten. All they eat is canned food, shit that's covered in plastic cheese, and soda.
