Free Dr. Pepper on November 23rd

Guns N' Roses fans thirsting for the upcoming "Chinese Democracy" will have a sweet, fizzy treat to savor as they listen.

Dr Pepper is making good on a prior promise to provide every person in America a can of the soft drink if the album were to arrive in 2008, and yesterday (Oct. 22) revealed details of the plan.

"We never thought this day would come," says Dr Pepper VP of marketing Tony Jacobs. "But now that it's here all we can say is: The Dr Pepper's on us."

Interested fans are being asked to visit DrPepper.com on Nov. 23, the day "Chinese Democracy" is released in the U.S. exclusively via Best Buy. After registering online, fans will receive a coupon redeemable for a 20-oz. Dr Pepper wherever the drink is sold.

The twist: the coupon is only available for 24 hours and will expire on Feb. 28.

Free is good....I never even knew about Dr. Pepper's claim but it's good to see they are living up to it.

I'm the only one I know who actually drinks the stuff over here in the UK. I know I can put a six pack in the fridge at work and not worry about them being stolen, which is nice.

If the same ratio applies to the US then I suspect this won't cost them too much.

(BTW, am I the only one who can't resist typing "ration" every time I want to type "ratio"?)

Actually Dr. Pepper is pretty popular here. (AFAIK)

Sandman · 10-23-2008, 12:05 PM

I drink Dr. Pepper all the time so I'll get some good use out of this coupon....probably save it for a road trip though since it's good till late Feb.

I like me some Dr. Pepper, but I haven't had a can in a long time. It's never disappointed, though.

LongStepMantis · 10-23-2008, 12:09 PM

Dr. pepper is awesome...but I always burp like a Barney Gumble wannabe when I drink it.
No other soda does that to me.

National Kato · 10-23-2008, 12:12 PM

I don't drink sody-pop. However, if I were to drink it, it would be Dr. Pepper. And free Dr. Pepper is a siren's call I can't resist, especially if it helps make fun of Chinese Democracy, the Duke Nukem of the music industry.

Five to one odds says the can of Dr. Pepper will provide more enjoyment than Axl's fat washed-up ass.

HATE GnR.
LOVE Dr.P.

Seriously? We're all big Dr P fans at my house.

Actually, everything I've heard that's been recorded by Axl during this period (with the exception of "Oh My God") has been solid.

The problem is that it is only solid. After a wait this long, it needs to be fucking amazing.

Seriously? I know tons of people who drink it. Hell I even drink the Dr. Pepper cocktail. Do you live up North or something crazy?

Dr. Pepper is my favorite soda. Actually, Dr. Thunder is. I'm a cheap bastard.

How do you describe the flavor of Dr. Pepper to someone who hasn't tasted it?

Like an explosion in Carmen Miranda's hat.

Typical Michael · 10-23-2008, 04:07 PM

I like Dr. Pepper, and I think its funny that a company went out on a limb like that to poke fun at something so long-awaited. Whether or not I redeem my ticket or not, I think its pretty classy.

And I dont know of anything other than Dr. Pepper that tastes like Dr. Pepper, except for perhaps Mr. Pibb, which doesnt get you anywhere with the description.

Sort of like a cross between a standard cola, and a ginger beer.

Very true.

Everyone that I know that likes Cola, also likes Dr pepper.
