Dr Pepper Loses Bet With Guns N' Roses

In May, Dr Pepper challenged Guns N' Roses to release its famously delayed album "Chinese Democracy" during 2008. If the album was issued, the soda company promised it would give away a free can of Dr Pepper to "everyone in America."

Now that "Chinese Democracy" will officially be released at the end of November, Dr Pepper plans to make good on its bet with rock band and give away soda by using coupons. It may turn out to be a brilliant marketing move, but it could cost Dr Pepper several million dollars, according to Ad Age, which put the total at $165 million in the extremely unlikely event that every American claimed his or her free can of soda.

I wonder if I can get Diet Dr. Pepper, or if the deal's only for regular Dr. Pepper.

It was dumb of them to not make some sort of requirement that the album be respectable listening. Just because Chinese Democracy is coming out, doesn't mean anyone's going to want to listen to it! Though, I will of course be claiming my Dr. Pepper.

If I was the good doctor, I wouldn't be paying out diddly until I actually had the disc in my hands, because as a wise man once said "there's many a slip twixt the cup and the lip".

Are bets legally binding? Can Dr. Pepper require some form of UPC code or whatnot that needs to be sent in to 'whittle down' it's expenditures?

Sweet! I'll get mine and save it for when I'm in dire need of an ice cold soda :D
