If you would permit me, I’d like to take a break from the business of cultural discussion, political policy, and media criticism to point you toward one of the finer things in life: snarky corporations offering free products based on mocking pop culture.
I am, of course, talking about Dr. Pepper vs. Chinese Democracy.
Chinese Democracy is the brand-spanking-new Guns N’ Roses album coming out this Sunday — and by brand-spanking-new, I mean they’ve been “recording” it since 1994. The extreme delay has become a fitting cultural punchline for the notoriously dysfunctional rock group, and the joke is now so old that most younger kids don’t even get it.
But I’ll tell you what they do get. Free Dr. Pepper:
Dr Pepper is making good on its promise of free soda now that the release of Guns N’ Roses’ “Chinese Democracy” is a reality. The soft-drink maker said in March that it would give a free soda to everyone in America if the album dropped in 2008.
…
Beginning Sunday at 12:01 a.m., coupons for a free 20-ounce soda will be available for 24 hours on Dr Pepper’s Web site. They’ll be honored until Feb. 28.
Sweet.
