Title: Fuckin' Dr Pepper
Post by: Ecrofirt on November 23, 2008, 03:35:48 PM
Their shitty site imploded today with everyone trying to get a free Dr Pepper. That's one way to get out of giving away tons of free drinks.

Fuck it. I love sending complaint letters.

Your site has completely run itself into the ground with this Chinese Democracy give-away.

I've been attempting to fill out the Coupon redemption form ALL GODDAMN DAY, and you've been plagued with nothing but server issues.

As the day draws toward an end, I see now that this is your clever way of getting around your promise to give everyone a free Dr Pepper.

Thanks for nothing, assholes. I'll be enjoying some tasty Coke products at work from now on.

the kicker is, I hate Coke. Fuck Coke, too!

It took me about 3 minutes to sign up for a free Dr. Pepper.

I decided not to bother when I found out they send you the coupon through snail-mail. If it's not a digital coupon I can exploit repeatedly, then it's not even worth the effort.

I fully intend to exploit the shit out of the coupon with handy use of the Xerox here at work.

At least Dr. Pepper set up a phone number to call, just in case.

is anyone else getting "fatal error" when they press submit?

Can't one person just upload the coupon to an image host?  Nobody's going to check serial numbers.

edit: unless they do a barcode check on all of them.

Dr Pepper is like an Xbox 360. Dr Pepper may let me down once in a while, but ill drink it.

I've found that, locally at least, Dr Pepper varies by the can. Some cans are great, some are too pungent, and some are too watery. It's weird.

And if I buy a 20oz bottle, the last 1/3 of the bottle tastes weird. It's like it has to be really carbonated to taste great. So fuck Fraiser and his drink it slowly shit. I have to guzzle it if it's going to taste good at all.

dr pepper is gud but i notice it gets fucked up if it has too much ice in it; I just keep it in the freezer until it's really cold instead of adding ice.

fast food places will hold the mayo/tomatoes/onions etc for picky people but if you ask for a moderate amount of ice they can't follow directions. distinguished mentally-challenged fellows
