I was going to comment on what a silly name for a soda I thought Green Arrow was; but as I reached for my can of Dr. Pepper I thought better of it.
Hey now. Dr Pepper is my fave soda. It was also my Mom's fave from the day she discovered it when the army stationed her down south all the way till the day just before she passed away, Dr Pepper was her fave. At least I can drink other brands myself. Now if only they'd do a "Throwback" like Pepsi and Mountain Dew have done, that'd be great.
As for the name... if I recall, Dr Pepper was given that name to honor the inventors one-time mentor in the pharmacy business, a Dr Charles Pepper from South Carolina. The drink itself was invented in Texas. And in that area of teh country, you can still get the real Dr Pepper made with sugar cane syrup rather then the more commercial stuff they sell elsewhere. Used to be you could also order the real stuff online, I don't know if you can these days.
Anyways... I think Green Arrow was supposed to be like 7-Up or Sprite.
I never said I didn't like Dr. Pepper; I do. I just think it's a silly name, that's all. But that's never stopped me before. My favorite musical group is Steely Dan. (And yes, I know where the name came from.)
I don't know, I think a soda called Green Arrow would be more like Mountain Dew or Mello Yello, citrus with a caffeine kick.

I didn't say you didn't like it, I was just explaining how it came to be named that.
I don't know where the name "Steely Dan" came from.

Like that "upside down" 7-Up that was around for a short time years ago. Lnb. That was like Mtn Dew.
Superman once returned to earth, only to find gender-swapped versions of everyone on Earth. What one female counterpart tipped him off that this was a not some natural phenomenon or alternate Earth but actually a ploy by one of his foes. Who was it?
I know a recent story in the Batman/Superman book was done in a similar way to an older storyline from the pre-crisis/early 80's era.
When our story opens, the Question is investigating an impossible locked-room murder mystery involving a midget and a 6'6"-tall call girl into heavy bondage. Don't worry, I'll explain later. It's all vitally relevant.

Its original name was "Bibb-Label Lithiated Lemon-Lime Soda". That's right, "lithiated". It not only had lithium in it, it advertised that it had lithium in it. In the early part of the 20th Century, lithium was believed to have a sedative effect if taken internally; "takes the ouch out of grouch" was a popular slogan. They soon realized that "Bibb-Label Lithiated Lemon-Lime Soda" was too long a name, so they came up with something short and punchy that was easy to order at a drugstore soda counter. They took the atomic weight of lithium, 6.93, and rounded Up to 7.
