'Perfect example of what a snipe should be': The Dr Pepper guy is stream sniping IRL-and the internet can't get enough
Briefly

In Japan, an unusual phenomenon has emerged among streamers involving a mysterious figure dubbed the Dr Pepper Guy, known for silently delivering cans of Dr Pepper to live streamers at random locations. This act, considered a form of stream sniping, highlights the blurred lines between community interaction and potential harassment. While stream sniping is often problematic, the lighthearted nature of this specific instance—an anonymous delivery of a beverage—has been met with laughter and curiosity from the community. The absurdity of the situation continues to spark discussion online, blending elements of humor with the seriousness of safety in online spaces.
I would love to know how he found us. We just drove 30 minutes in an Uber away from where we were, at a random Omakase on the fourth floor of this building.
You're being stalked, but your stalker drops off a can of Dr Pepper, so it's okay.
