A friend of mine brought this up on Facebook today and I've actually been meaning to write a little bit about it for a while because it pisses me off so badly. The team in charge of advertising for Dr. Pepper 10 should be fired. Their whole marketing theme is degrading to both women and men alike.
"Dr. Pepper 10: It's Not For Women"
vs.
"Diet Pepsi: It's Less Fucking Calories".
Why should men have to be ashamed that they want to consume a diet beverage? And why is it a super secret, no girls allowed beverage? Does it tickle your testicles or something? Don't tell me what beverage I can or cannot consume!
Every so often I have the urge to go grab a case of Dr. Pepper 10, bring it up to a male cashier and say something like "YEAH. I'm a woman. And I'm buying this for ME. And I'm gonna drink 'em all. So fuck you.". But then I remember that he's just a cashier. If he handled the advertisement for this particular beverage I'm purchasing, he probably would quit his cashiering job.
So, you know what, Dr. Pepper 10, I don't fucking want you anyway. Eat a dick.
Plus I prefer Coke Zero when it comes to diet beverages.
