What is this Doc Tear Popper MAGES is looking for?


Doc Tear Popper is a drink and a play on the name Dr. Pepper.

the character MAGES, like other human characters in the series, represents a
real world games company, in this case
[株式会社MAGES](https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/MAGES.). one of the known games
which ties into MAGES's own appearance is
[Steins;Gate](https://vndb.org/v2002) which in the anime had product placement
featuring the drink Dr. Pepper

[![Doctor
Pepper!](https://i.stack.imgur.com/aiOL6m.png)](https://i.stack.imgur.com/aiOL6.png)
[![It's an intellectual drink for the chosen
ones!](https://i.stack.imgur.com/AwNIXm.jpg)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/5pb.)

I don't know however wether the obscuring of the name is some legal thing as
[Code Geass had it's Pizza Hut product placement removed in the English
Release](https://anime.stackexchange.com/questions/4257/have-there-been-any-
anime-with-actual-product-placement#comment19067_4259) or if it's a joke like
Vert's overheating in the original game begin a joke on the X-Box 360's
initial cooling problems
