Raising the Stakes!
Dr. Pepper said a few months ago that they’d give everyone in America a free Dr. Pepper if the new Guns N’ Roses album came out this year. The Guns N’ Roses album is coming out this year. Now, everyone in America gets a free Dr. Pepper.
I’m not going to be getting one.
I can’t. This has gotten too strange. I’m used to getting a free taco after someone hits a home run, but if this is the start of a new trend of major corporations making wild and zany bets, I don’t want to do anything to encourage it. What’s next? It’s only a matter of time before everyone gets a free bag of Doritos if the Patriots beat the spread, or a free iPod Touch if Steve Jobs can’t throw a football over a house(this would require someone saying, “Hey, bet you can’t throw a football over the house” to Steve Jobs. If someone who knows him could do that for me that would be cool, because I could really use a new iPod.)
