Credit Dr. Pepper for coming up with one of the more skillful marketing ideas in the modern era, their best since David Naughton crooned "I'm a Pepper. You're a Pepper." The non-traditional cola has offered to give everyone - except Slash and Buckethead - a free Dr. Pepper if Axl Rose will release Chinese Democracy.
Being the magnanimous guy that he is, Axl agreed to share his free soda with Buckethead. After all, he did appear on the album . . . and Dr. Pepper does go well with KFC.
Savvy move by Dr. Pepper. What's next? Free 2-liters if J.D. Salinger writes another book? Six packs for all if O.J. finds the real killers?
So c'mon Axl, wouldn't you like to be a Pepper too?
