Dr. Pepper 10? …Meh, Let’s Talk About It.
Guest writer, Rebecca “Bonks” Rothschild, VP of Sugar Gamers, has a little something to say about the newest addition to the Dr. Pepper family of flavors, Dr. Pepper 10.
Ladies, there’s no reason to get up in arms over a diet beverage that Dr. Pepper has marketed as “Not for Women.” Truth is the men folk need their manly diet drinks, it makes them feel masculine about watching their figure. We like fit men right?
Oh f**k it, FLAME ON! This commercial not only demonstrates the same moronic ideals that prohibit the video game industry from marketing to violent video game loving females like me properly but dares to assume that men in this country are really that neutered. ”Enjoying the film ladies? Of course not.” Listen here you just above fugly, no list actor, don’t you dare tell me what I’m enjoying.
Alright meow, powering down. Dr. Pepper is not a company of sexist jackasses, however, they may have suffered a slight brain fart in the marketing department, or did they? There is medical evidence out there to support that men really need to step back from the sugary soda drinks and I can commend efforts to make anyone healthier, but the “no girls allowed” approach was clearly an attention whoring stunt that definitely worked. Enjoy the profits and hate mail.
Signed, Rebecca “Bonks” Rothschild
