November 21, 200817 yr LOS ANGELES - Dr Pepper is making good on its promise of free soda now that the release of Guns N' Roses' "Chinese Democracy" is a reality. The soft-drink maker said in March that it would give a free soda to everyone in America if the album dropped in 2008. "Chinese Democracy," infamously delayed since recording began in 1994, goes on sale Sunday. "We never thought this day would come," Tony Jacobs, Dr Pepper's vice president of marketing, said in a statement. "But now that it's here, all we can say is: The Dr Pepper's on us." Beginning Sunday at 12:01 a.m., coupons for a free 20-ounce soda will be available for 24 hours on Dr Pepper's Web site. They'll be honored until Feb. 28. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/27829616/
November 21, 200817 yr Thanks Dr. Pepper... BTW this isnt a G & R album! OVER RATED! Not overrated, but overhyped. There was no way this album was going to live up to it.
November 21, 200817 yr Thanks Dr. Pepper... BTW this isnt a G & R album! OVER RATED! Not overrated, but overhyped. There was no way this album was going to live up to it. I'm listening to the album for the first time as we speak.... However, I dont care who the band is, there is no album that can live up to 13 years of hype.
November 21, 200817 yr Agreed! Its just to much hype but I mean its been hyped for no reason in my mind...
November 23, 200817 yr According to WalletPop.com, Dr Pepper's web site appears to be having a hard time keeping up with demand for a soda following the soft drink manufacturer's announcement earlier in the year that it would give a free drink to everyone if GUNS N' ROSES' long-awaited new album, "Chinese Democracy", actually dropped in 2008. Interested fans are being asked to visit DrPepper.com today (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-oz. Dr Pepper wherever the drink is sold. The twist: the coupon is only available for 24 hours and will expire on February 28. Repeated attempts by WalletPop.com staff to reach DrPepper.com have resulted mainly in a longtime "loading" message on the main page. When WalletPop.com has managed to get in, the coupon location wasn't immediately clear. It's apparently behind "Promotions" and then "Free Dr Pepper" ? but then that page wasn't loading for WalletPop.com either. Then WalletPop.com tried 1-888-drpepper (1-888-377-3773), as recommended to the site by a company spokesman. WalletPop.com called midday and got an operator after a 15-minute wait. The spokesman also said the company was working to add more servers to handle the web traffic ? this also around noon, 12 hours into the 24-hour promotion.
