Free Dr. P

Don't forget that tomorrow is that day that you can sign up to get a coupon to redeem a free 20 oz. Dr.Pepper because of the release of the new Guns 'N Roses album Chinese Democracy.

Check out this Dr. P related blurb from Esquire earlier this month.

Now for all of you lazy people out there, here is what is written in that article.

This special formulation of Dr. Pepper is made from imperial cane sugar. And you can only get it within a 44-mile radius of Dublin, Texas. It's hard to espouse tradition without sounding like Wilford Brimley grunting the virtues of oatmeal, but old pop is better than new pop, and that's just facts. In the 1970s and 1980s, when the price of sugar began to rise, most bottlers switched over to high-fructose corn syrup--except the Dr. Pepper bottling plant in Dublin, Texas, the only DP plant never to have used anything but Imperial pure can sugar to sweeten its unique brand of black gold. It's like drinking nature's perfect candy, plus fizz. The hitch is, it's available only within a 44-mile radius of Dublin. While it probably isn't worth the drive to west Texas to taste it--a ranch filled with crazy pussy probably isn't worth the drive to west Texas--if you're passing through Comanche, Desdemona, or Fairy, make sure you stop for a cold bottle of the last best pop in America.


First of all, I think I'm going to go ahead and add imbibing about fifteen of them Dr. Peppers to my lifelong to do list. Secondly, a ranch filled with crazy pussy is definitely worth the drive to west Texas. Hell, my friends and I almost drove 3 plus hours to New Jersey on a whim because none of us had ever been to a Sonic. Not only does their food look great, but I'd even give them my business because of their outstanding advertising.



Let me just clear one thing up. There is no denying that they have great commercials and in that sense their advertising is outstanding, but the fact that these commercials run in areas that are nowhere near their restaurants detracts a little from their overall advertising scheme.

Don't forget to request your free Dr. Pepper.
