As a lifelong Dr. Pepper purple-truther, I don't appreciate being Perceived in this way thank yoooouuuu

Just saw someone say "Dr Pepper fans are the soda equivalent of people whose favourite colour is purple"

So now I have to ask:

Are you a Dr Pepper fan?

And if so, is your favourite colour purple?

(For the record, my answers are YES and YES)
