Forty years ago there were teaser announcements everywhere heralding the imminent arrival of Dr. Pepper in NYC and, I suppose, environs. These banners shouting the descent of an unknown physician into our community really had me intrigued ...
Who, really is this Doctor Pepper, and what will he do for an ailing humanity?
Honestly, I had no clue....

Dr Pepper to deliver on its free-soda promise
3 hours ago
LOS ANGELES (AP) — 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. "Chinese Democracy," infamously delayed since recording began in 1994, goes on sale Sunday.
"We never thought this day would come," Tony Jacobs, Dr Pepper's vice president of marketing, said in a statement. "But now that it's here, all we can say is: The Dr Pepper's on us."
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.
Dr Pepper is owned by Dr Pepper Snapple Group, Inc.
On the Net:
I knew this was going to happen. The DrPepper server has become overloaded with all the requests!
Chinese Democracy is free today as well.
I'm listening to it now at http://www.myspace.com/gunsnroses
Cheers

OK so did anyone get a coupon?
I was going to but then they wanted my sign on information and I figured it wasn't worth it for a $1. bottle of soda..
