Guns 'n Roses 'n Dr. Pepper Team Up to Make Fat America Fatter!

Wow... who would have ever thought that good old Guns 'n Roses would make a bet with Dr. Pepper and win!

So now, Dr. Pepper has to offer a free drink to EVERY SINGLE AMERICAN in existence (except the two band members who were not involved in the album).

Get this! And then go get your Dr. Pepper, today!

And while you are at it, watch your blood sugars and your insulin soar!

Oh, and if they use aspartame in the DIET... keep an eye on your carcinogen levels.

I love you!

P.S. Talk about an amazing marketing tactic! You gotta wonder if the boys and girls at Dr. Pepper are laughing, or crying. It could swing both ways.

Dr Pepper flowing as new Guns album arrives
By Jonathan Cohen Jonathan Cohen – Thu Oct 23, 8:02 pm ET Reuters –  … NEW YORK

(Billboard) – Guns N' Roses fans thirsting for the band's first album of new material in 17 years will have a sweet, fizzy treat to savor as they listen.

Dr Pepper is making good on a promise to provide every person in America a can of the soft drink if "Chinese Democracy" were to arrive in 2008, and has revealed details of the plan.

"We never thought this day would come," Dr Pepper vp marketing Tony Jacobs said Wednesday. "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 (http://www.drpepper.com) on November 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-ounce Dr Pepper wherever the drink is sold.

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

  2. I heard once from another woman in Kansas (on many occasions in her blog... especially when she dumped the ice down the front of her shirt while stopped at a traffic light) that Sonic Dr. P is "the best".

  3. Pretty sure I blocked that from my memory.

  4. I wonder what the catalyst was that caused such a reaction??


    A stopped car?

    A dog in the road?

    A tall Canadian walking down the sidewalk?



    You must love the catalyst..... without it.. there would never be any reaction!!

    ReplyDelete
  5. Yes. And the amazing thing about catalysts, is that, although crucial to any chemical reaction involving change, in most reactions, they almost always get used up, and expire.

  6. Aftwer hearing the first song from the new album... I must say I'd much rather have the Dr. Pepper... :)

  7. Ok is Chinese Demonacracy a Guns and Roses album?

    Give me Dr. Pepper, a chocolate bar and a life sized poster of Obama and watch me dance.

    ReplyDelete
  8. Alan - That good, huh?

    Sheila - Did you know that the dance called the tarantella was based upon the writhings of tarantula bitten victims? Yes. I would say that after your Dr. Pepper and your chocolate bar, the sugar induced insulin spike would likely have you doing a very similar dance. I wonder if we could call it the "Sugatella"! I love you!

    So, do you think that NC will be repub, or demo after this vote?

  9. And yes, apparently "Chinese Democracy" is the name of their latest album.

    Mayu told me of this news as I was sitting here this morning doing accounting. I obviously don't keep that much of an eye on the world of heavy metal. I leave that for the other officionados to enjoy while I sit here watching with great amusement my investments plunge to record lows, quite possibly never to return to their levels prior to the "American Economic and Financial Crash of the Century" for a very long time! Yeee haw!

    This is one buckin' bronco that I'd rather NOT be ridin', but since I don't have much of a choice... All I can do is hang on tight and yell, "Yeee HAW!!!"

    ReplyDelete
  10. Yes but you're so cute when you're riding? Mebbe you'll sooth the savage beasty

  11. Gee Cam,
    The way you talk about Aspartame it's as if you think having formaldehyde accumulating in your brain is a bad thing.

  12. pffft...multiply is as bad as yahoo. comment just got ate.

    i haven't had a soda in years. EWWW Dr. Pepper...it's SO icky!!!

    summary: hold investments now...while bottomed-out, move on the election and xmas rally, sell 26Dec and then buy back in at the beginning of the 2nd quarter timing earnings announcements and after BO has taken office.

    I sold nearly everything @ 6-mo ago w/ concerns that nothing was feeling warm and fuzzy. the move to WA was part of that 'not so fuzzy' feeling about the future of the US economy. call me paranoid about the 'Ron Paul Doesn't Matter' factor but.that was my primary motivation.

    i'm here if you ever want to bounce investment banter off one-another!

  13. I never liked dr pepper to drink but you can use it to cook a ham in like coca cola or ginger ale

  14. Celeste - If I do that it becomes income in Canada and that means I have to pay 25% on all earnings, paid directly to the government, do not pass Go, do not collect 200 dollars. Not a good thing for me at the time to sell off all, I don't think. Besides, the sum total is currently 30% lower than it was at the beginning of the year. For me, it's a hang on and wait for another 25 years, I think.

  15. Oh come on...

    One drink of anything won't do any REAL harm....

    well... maybe arsenic...

    But like alcohol, i enjoy an occasional sody pop!

    ReplyDelete
  16. Hmmm Jen, I wonder what alcohol goes with Dr. Pepper.
    I'm thinking Rum & Dr. Pepper, but there's probably something really exotic and yummy out there.

    ReplyDelete
  17. Rum, YES.. but i don't know about anything else...

    Oh... maybe a Dr.Pepper martini??? Vodka and Dr.P?

    hmmm... i don't know...

    Think we better stick to rum, Sweety. Seems safer.

  22. Who would go to all that trouble just to get a can of soda... even one you LIKED?

    ReplyDelete
  23. Jen, it's not a can... it's 20 freakin' ounces!
    That's like 2 and a half cans of sweet, sweet, corn sugar.
