Free Dr. Pepper for everyone! (kind of)
Well, when Dr. Pepper said that they would give everyone in America a free Dr. Pepper if Guns ‘N Roses released their Chinese Democracy CD this year everyone thought that 1.) Guns ‘N Roses won’t drop the Chinese Democracy album this year and 2.) Dr. Pepper is just doing this as a marketing stunt. Either way, Guns ‘N Roses fans thought Dr. Pepper would come through with their end of the bargain if for some chance G’NR would come out with their album this year. Which unbelievably they did.
G’NR’s fans and fans of free stuff went to Dr. P’s website to get their free Dr. Pepper within the 24 hour deadline and found the website down. Now fans and freebie hunters went after Guns ‘N Roses. Guns ‘N Roses’ lawyer Laurie Soriano fired off a letter to Dr. P to make good on their offer to G’NR’s fans or they will be slapped with a lawsuit. Since the letter, Dr. Pepper had extended the amount of time to 42 hours to allow folks to get their Pepper, but Guns ‘N Roses still wants an apology.
