Music Dr Pepper give away

[Edmond]

Did anyone see this, Dr Pepper are going to give away a free can drink to everyone in the US because Guns N' Roses released an album

Thats over 300 million if everyone took them up on it, thats a lot of free drink, surely it would dent thier profits quite badly

I reckon they will get rid of about 7 due to the fact that Dr Pepper is the most god awful drink known to man.

[partdige]Its like fizzy Benalyn[/partridge]

 

[Edmond]

Haa Haa, it tastes like cream soda

Dr Pepper, whats the worst that could happen.......

Well you could put yourself out of business due to making dumb ass claims that have come back to bite you on the arse

It will only cost them a few million out of their advertising budget but if it gets this sort of coverage seems like money well spent?

Free drink = goor feeling for customer = more drink sold.

Free stuff is always calculated.

And Dr has always been "you like it or not".

Also, works very well i seems as posted here.

They cant even give that stuff away. It tastes the way Germolene ought to taste.

 

[Mabs]

haha thats ace

The company said that in an "unprecedented show of solidarity with Axl", all Americans would receive a free can, "except estranged guitarists Slash and Buckethead".

fair play to em i say, and as was pointed out, its a drop in the ocean for them

 

[soze]

Are they not a Coca Cola Company ie 1 free drink to everyone will not harm them too badly at all?

Keep in mind - one free drink to everyone who can be bothered to sign up and get the voucher sent which will take 4-6 weeks. I can't imagine that'll be a massively significant amount of people.

costs fuck all to make anyway. It'll just come out of their marketing budget for the year, wont cost em that much.
