I have tried that before, the one with real cane sugar, but I wasn't swayed that it was that different. It was good but I really couldn't tell the difference.

I have to say good on them for keeping the promise. I think the publicity they'll get from it is worth the expense of handing some colored sugar water. I'll be in line. =)

They are giving away 20 oz bottles. Bottles that have a twist off top, not a pop top can.

Just finished streaming the album.

It was almost - but not quite - as entertaining as drinking a can of Dr. Pepper.

Really, it's not Dr. Pepper's responsibility to ensure people eat healthy diets. They produce a product. In moderation, it will likely cause no adverse health affects to anybody who doesn't drown themselves in it. I think the vast majority of people are aware that soda and other sweets are junk food, and that over-indulgence on them is going to be unhealthy.

That being said, it's cool that the company is making good on their offer. Now, my only question is, how will they respond to the inevitable idiots who will be complaining that they didn't get a coupon because they couldn't get Internet access?

For the record, I think Dr. Pepper tastes revolting and won't be accepting a free drink from them. I appreciate their offer though. :-)

Good for them, better for me.

Om nom nom, delicious soda.

If they deliver on that I am all over it.

The publicity alone surely would help...

especially in these times.

....and then without the public knowledge the next terrorist attack strikes but this time they got into our Dr pepper supply!

The Dr. Pepper has a mutating virus in it that turns everyone into zombies and causes the most horrible scenario mankind has seen ( except maybe when there was a huge fight for Atlantis and they blew up mankind)

Obama is now forced to make choices the public cant and wont understand. He is forced to blow up every soda factory to save mankind. This pisses off the Mormons because they own Pepsi and its the main financial backer in their plans for world domination. They then turn to Hezbollah and Iran/Russia and start to make plans for a real red dawn scenario by infiltrating with their awesome door to door powers and great involvement in their local communities. They will also use brainwashing via the new Guns N Roses album.

Lucky for us the web bots have predicted that aliens will stop us before nuclear war breaks out.


man that prediction should be its own thread in skunkworks.

Stick it in there......I bet they will run with it!

I'm sorry, no meaningful discussion can come from this, so I'm just going to pictorially express my feelings on the story:

The worst thing that could happen........if I dropped the free Dr. Pepper

That is just my luck. I open my free Dr Pepper to take my first sip, some one bumps me in the rush to get one of their own and I drop it with out getting a single sip

Seriously though, I cant wait to get my Dr Pepper.

That said, this thread does not belong on ATS's breaking alternative news forum. There is nothing about this that is fits into the alternative news section. It belongs on the BTS side. mabye under breaking general news or chitchat.

I needed that!

To everyone in America?

I wonder if they can be called on that one. lol.
