The real winner in TO saga: Dr Pepper

[mediaguy]

If anybody -- anybody this side of Eagles fan -- gained the most from Wednesday's Terrell Owens roller-coaster, it has to be Dr Pepper (no period, thanks). Their smart buy of the behind-the-mike branding with the Cowboys got them front-page photos in, what, half the papers in the country? You can't buy that kind of exposure. OK, you can, but it costs millions. Maybe they can get TO to wear 23 this week ...

Believe me, there's hell to pay over in promotions at Mr. Pibb today ...

Why does Dr Pepper come in a bottle?

Well played.

 

[Claws for Concern]

Not to mention those other knockoff sodas like Dr. A+, etc.

Because Mrs Pepper died?

not sure if that was a reference to me...but i'm actually kind of feeling bad about all the harsh things i've said about him in the past. the guy needs serious help and if it's ignored now, then we're all going to see something really bad happen to him once he retires and is out of the spotlight.

that said, if this all turns out to be a publicity stunt (which i doubt), then i'm planning on wearing a skeleton costume (think karate kid) with a TO jersey when i fly in for the halloween game vs. the Jags (even an ocean can't stop me from seeing them play at least once a year)

I think he was referring to Eagles fans in general and accidently dropped the s.

 

[Bubbler]

When/if I go to heaven, I don't know if I want to shake Dr Pepper's hand or punch him in the face for likely moving up my death by at least a year. I'm addicted to that ****.

Hmm, I wonder what would happen if you punched somebody in heaven? Do they have some sort of demerit system or something?

 

[Eagles1 in London]

well, in that case he's completely right....eagles fans are like sharks and there is definitely blood in the water....

(I swear i'm one of the normal ones....kind of)

Dr Pepper is the best pop/cola/soda in the history of man.

 

[PeterGibbons]

The best Dr. Pepper is made in Dublin, Tx... still made with pure cane sugar

Damn straight. I only make it to Stephenville twice a year, but I always make a side trip to Dublin and get a case.

And 'yab got the joke ...

Does anybody remember when Dr Pepper used to advertise with the numbers 10-2-4?
Apparently it was the times of the day that the "Dr" prescribed you to drink his soda for better health.

 

[Bruhman]

You're right. I bought my first Dr. Pepper in years today. I'm sure it had something to do with all T.O. coverage, on top of the soda's new "23" marketing campaign.

And I'm contemplating getting a Mac for the home office instead of a PC. Those commercials make you wonder why anyone buys a PC over a MAC.

Well played.

Mr. Pibb should have gone to grad school if he wanted to compete.

There's no period after the Dr

I don't even like the stuff and I know that.

Why is there no period? Always wondered that.

And it is the greatest ****ing pop (as we say up here) ever made.

 

[Dwayne T. Robinson]

I can't tell you why there's no period, but I do know that when the product first came out, it did have a period and then slowly got removed over time. I know this meaningless stuff because my girlfriend's grandfather collects Dr Pepper memorabilia, but only if there's a period after Dr.
Yes, that's all he has to live for.

So, is the David Naughton "wouldn't you like to be a Pepper" ad playing over and over? That would get old fast.
