Dr Pepper For Men Ads

PC stands for what now?

Yeah justice man the 'inbreed hicks' was seriously over line son.

Passiona (passionfruit pop) is pretty popular here, do you guys get it state side?

Isn't normal Fanta orange-flavoured? We also get Sunkist and others.

Grape... We don't get grape Fanta, but I think Welch's Grape gets imported alongside Dr. Pepper and A&W Root Beer and things like that. Otherwise, there're generic brands.

Pretty sure they used to bottle Dr. Pepper here when I was a kid, but it was unavailable for several years. Last few year or so, I've been seeing imported stuff - not sold in many places (IGA seems to have it reliably in stock, as well as some local places that sell other American confectionery - Reese's and the like).

I doubt we'll get this new variety. Although we did get (imported) Cherry Dr. Pepper, and Cherry Vanilla Dr. Pepper.

@ joeyjojo

Pretty sure "23 flavours" refers not to "23 different varieties" but rather to "23 different tastes (as in, flavours, not biological tastes), combined into one".

Not appropriate.

Oddly enough there is some serious inbreeding in my family line, It was the result of upperclass arranged marriages so I guess it's the right sort of inbreeding :S

We have had orange for all long while but grape has only come on the market in the last year or so.

I go to specially store for strawberry fanta, costs a mint but it's worth it...

So it is, I stand corrected.

Rerail this thread now or it gets locked.

Repost of pertinent material:

Anyway anybody check out the onion: interesting perspective.

The Onion is win, as always. "Dr Pepper–sponsored legislation could punish women caught imbibing the beverage with stiff monetary penalties or up to two years in prison."

Killer max bro.

Why is this still I thing in a year higher than most peoples monthly salaries?

What?

Is there a Real Men Drink (or don't) Diet Soda trope they're ref in the ad?

Diet supplies in general are unmanly to american culture because theyre "chick food" while manly food tends to be ridiculously huge burgers.

I have tasted this ten calorie Dr. Pepper. It tastes terrible. As in, exactly like Diet Dr. Pepper. They're drinking the same fucking thing, and it doesn't even taste right. (Yes, Diet Dr. Pepper and regular Dr. Pepper taste noticeably different.)

It's a stupid fuck ass commercial that insults both women and its intended demographic. It's also ridiculous enough that I think it'll get forgotten real quick.

When the new Dr. Pepper 10 ad said "not for women" I didn't think they'd actually make it physically impossible for women to open the bottles. Two days and two bruised hands later, I finally got my guy friend to open the bottle for me.

You sound like a good kid, turn yourself in now and they will go soft on you.

Don't you mean "flat on her"?

@Ace Spades: The dif is that Dr Pepper Ten has ten calories so it isn't as diet as zero calorie Diet Dr Pepper and therefore not a girly.
