Yeah, "everyone" getting a free can of pop translates into Dr.
Pepper's reality of "one per household." Guess everyone is supposed
to take a sip from the same bottle in your family, like a wino sharing
his Mad Dog with the other bums. RIPOFF. What fool designed their
website with such limited capacity? Boycott Dr. Pepper.
Dr Pepper - as disappointing as waiting 4 hours for Axl Rose to be a
no show at a concert. I never bought another Guns n Roses album after
THAT stupidity.
