You used a period when you wrote it in your profile...now that's funny! Now It's fixed.

There's a perfectly reasonable explaination for that omission....
The reason there is no period is the result of an italicized type face used in the early 1950s. The period after the "r" appeared to look like a colon because of the font used. The result appeared to be "Di: Pepper". Not only was the period dropped, but the font was soon changed. There is really no reason for a period since Dr Pepper is not a member of the medical profession, or even degreed.
