- turtlegroove, on 12/03/2008, -6/+119I cant believe people care this much about a bottle of soda...sad.
- aandkh, on 12/04/2008, -0/+91This bottle of soda has a PhD
- bhavinp, on 12/04/2008, -1/+85I care about Dr. Pepper more than their new album.
- Garlik, on 12/04/2008, -3/+74"A Dr Pepper promotion revolving around Guns N' Roses' new album has gone flat"
I see what they did there - naturalpapa, on 12/03/2008, -1/+52Sugar water for watered down music?
- mnortei, on 12/04/2008, -1/+35FTC's a total cokeblock!
- Shaggy3, on 12/04/2008, -0/+30Dr. Pepper apologize?
I think Dr. Pepper should sue Axl Rose for inciting a situation meant to put Dr. Pepper out of business. Because there is no way I'll accept that Chinese Democracy was an attempt at music! - inactive, on 12/04/2008, -1/+28This could be the most one-sided fight since 1973 when Ali faced an eighty-foot tall mechanical Joe Frazier. My memory isn't what it used to be, but I think the entire Earth was destroyed.
- Phant0mMaster, on 12/04/2008, -1/+28Who the hell is dumb enough to blame GnR for Dr. Peppers site crashing?
oh yeah... GnR fans... - techguru2006, on 12/03/2008, -3/+26Random fact: Dr. Pepper and Snapple are manufactured by the same company. I always thought they were a part of Coca-Cola. Coca-Cola wanted to buy Dr. Pepper but the FTC blocked it.
- iamsmooth, on 12/04/2008, -2/+25Dr. Pepper is awesome though.
- ptsuk, on 12/04/2008, -2/+21"Fans were confused and blamed the band?" WTF are their fans just as stupid and drug addled as the gnr frontman Axle Rose?! Give me a ***** break. What kind of lawsuit can be made! Its idiotic! Dr P, made every effort it seems, extending the timeframe, creating and using the 800 number, jebus tap dancing christ, a dollar soda isn't something to sue over unless it contains heavy metals (NOT GNR, have you heard that craptastic album?!), toxic waste, or the floating ejaculate of "Bruno" from the bottling line.
- rob89, on 12/03/2008, -4/+22i gave up, couldn't get thru on their site even with the extension. a good promo gone bad due to bad planning. Dr Pepper should be ashamed !
- Nboy514, on 12/04/2008, -0/+15If we're going to sue Dr. Pepper because their site crashed, I think this is going to lead a dangerous precedent....Digg should be worried.
- Wolfgarden, on 12/04/2008, -1/+14Dr.Pepper > Guns 'N' Roses
- asgardshill, on 12/04/2008, -4/+16I always, ALWAYS care about free stuff. Even if it is just a bottle of pop. And Guns 'n Roses blows goats.
I actually got through on the web site during this benighted little promotion, and I'd best get my free pop most ricky tick. - m0n0kr0m3, on 12/04/2008, -5/+16buried for GNR
- sfcaptainrob, on 12/04/2008, -2/+11GNR has fans still?
- ChappyChaps11, on 12/04/2008, -0/+9That's $1.19 they can put back into savings :)
- Amadeus2490, on 12/04/2008, -0/+9Well, they didn't really prepare for it because they more than likely never expected it to be released this year, just like the rest of us.
- charm803, on 12/04/2008, -0/+8Yeah, but you need a time machine to access the coupon.
I can hook you up with my time machine, I never use it. Just send me $150,000 and you can use it so you can go back in time and access the website and then you can get your free soda. - JoeDiggsIt, on 12/04/2008, -0/+8Mr. Pibb is such a slacker...
- txkevo, on 12/04/2008, -2/+10Axle Rose - once a douche, always a douche.
- ichbinladen, on 12/04/2008, -5/+13I like Dr. Pepper (the drink) but that is an incredibly lame marketing trick. ***** idiots, nobody's cared about Guns N Roses since 1989.
- nerdherder, on 12/04/2008, -1/+9They didn't plan for it because they didn't know GnR still had fans.
- Dave0112, on 12/04/2008, -1/+8Company's like guns n roses and bands like Dr. Pepper piss me off.
wait... - badenglishihave, on 12/04/2008, -0/+7Seriously. GnR should be called "The Axl Rose Band" now. Dumbest return album ever.
- nerdherder, on 12/04/2008, -1/+8Sure Axle Rose is a huge ***** but seriously, its 1 bottle of pop, roughly 1 dollar, and the band didn't even have anything to do with it. DP chose to do it of their own accord. People are dumb.
- FeloniusMonkey, on 12/04/2008, -1/+7Dr. Pepper only comes in a bottle because his wife died.
- joel8x, on 12/04/2008, -0/+5But it wasn't meant to be a marketing trick at all. You are obviously one of the people Axl's lawyer is crying about.
- 8bitflu, on 12/04/2008, -1/+6Much rather the Doctor than his twin ***** brother with no degree.
- Ransack, on 12/04/2008, -0/+5I didnt get my free DP and will be devoting 60hrs a week for the next year to make sure that situation is rectified and everyone involved in denying me my soda is severely punished with either crippling fines, jail time or BOTH!
- untzboy, on 12/04/2008, -7/+12I do.
- 0tis, on 12/04/2008, -4/+8So do I...
- charm803, on 12/04/2008, -1/+4Someone call the waaaaaambulance!
They are just bitter that people cared more about the soda than their album.
If they were smart, they would have contacted Dr. Pepper to do the promotion WITH them. I mean, there was enough advance notice, it's not like Dr. Pepper told everyone one day before or anything. - nerdherder, on 12/04/2008, -0/+3Geez sorry.
- rft3rd, on 12/04/2008, -0/+3I thought it was funny.
- vat0r, on 12/04/2008, -1/+4Bad campaign revolving around an even worse album. Fitting..
- 11oops, on 12/04/2008, -1/+4"Now frontman Axl Rose and his bandmates are ready to pop."
I see what they did there - peestandingup, on 12/04/2008, -0/+3How can you give a soda to "everyone in America" by only allowing those who come to your website & snag some coupon within 24 hours to have it?? And those are the people that even knew about it or were able to get in in the first place.
They should be sending coupons to everyone in America whether they want them or not. That is what they said after all. - NutsaQer, on 12/04/2008, -0/+3ahem...1994 actually
- malikye187, on 12/04/2008, -0/+3Oral Sex.
- BananaGrabber, on 12/04/2008, -0/+3The website still wouldn't let me get the coupon even during the extension. Submitting my info would just hang fo ever and never load to the next page.
- douglasr007, on 12/04/2008, -1/+4GNR released an album? Their last album came out in 1991.
- rft3rd, on 12/04/2008, -1/+3You would have to see my other corrections to know it was a lame attempt at being humorous.
Now Axl won't kick your ass :-) - DamnMan, on 12/04/2008, -0/+2its coke...even when its brand is Dr Pepper, its still coke.
- Chrysalii, on 12/04/2008, -0/+2Wegmans FTW!
- mrgulabull, on 12/04/2008, -0/+2it was funny until the part where you said wait
- CylonsOfTheLamb, on 12/04/2008, -0/+2Random fact: The Dr. Pepper bottling plant in Dublin, Tx still uses the original formula. They make this tasty beverage with Imperial Pure Cane Sugar instead of corn syrup.
- bas4ball, on 12/04/2008, -1/+3Cmon guys, it's Pulp Fiction.
