Not in my fucking store, bitch.
If you’re obsessed worth what other people are drinking, you’re probably not getting the full relaxation quotient from your microbrew.
You enjoy your’s. I’ll enjoy mine. Hell, if you don’t come and tell me about it, I don’t have a problem with you sitting there like a smug wanker convinced your choice of alcoholic beverage makes you a better person than me.
Why yes, after 16 years of this shit, I am quite testy about it.
Beer? What a pussy thing to do. Why in my drinking days, I just ate vats of malt covered hops and let it ferment in my stomach.
Don’t be testy. Be a pepper.
Microbrew? I make my own. I don’t think I’m a better person, I just know that if you are drinking light beers you are missing out (exception: ice cold anything after mowing or working outside in the summer).
Do you go out to restaurants and order PBJ with the crusts cut off?
I just see the ad as another instance of Life imitating The Onion (“New Texas-Style Yogurt To Feed Man-Size Hunger For Yogurt”).
You don’t know jack shit, to be totally honest. And enjoy your homebrew. Just keep your superior act to yourself.
And, for the record, I have had a peanut butter and jelly sandwich in a restaurant, and the crusts were indeed cut off. I didn’t order it then, but it was part of a tasting menu.
I’m more then happy with my tastes, and I don’t feel I am missing out on anything. I drink light beer because I don’t particularly like other beers. I drink pilsners pretty much exclusively when on beer, but in general prefer wine. There are other pilsners I prefer, but I don’t prefer them enough to justify the price differential.
I’m a wine drinker by choice. And while wine snobs are annoying, they trend to be far less in your face about it than beer snobs. I have lost count of the time my beer order has been critiqued by some wanker stood at the bar whose is convinced that with my accent I should be drinking the sink swill he has decided is superior.
Im sure your homebrew is the best thing on the planet. Have fun with it. But trust me, I’m not missing our on anything at all by not liking it our wanting to sample it.
What a shame. Just two letter choices off for a perfect 10 post
And I don’t see the point of buying a product if I don’t want to, for whatever reason fits, whether that’s “It tastes like chocolate horsepiss” or “Their ads suck.” Why should anyone (outside of marketers) care *why *somebody else doesn’t buy a certain product?
I think the ad is funny, and I don’t drink Dr. Pepper anyway, but locking the Facebook app for anyone with their profile marked “female”? That bugs me a bit. Saying “Not only is this product not marketed to you, you’re not allowed to see this” is taking the joke a little too far. The good ol’ boys’ clubs are not so far in the past that that’s funny yet.
Awesome.
So I saw this stupid ad a few days ago and thought “Not funny,” and then “Dude, no amount of marketing or explosions will make diet soda seem manly.” If the outrage over perceived sexism makes the ad campaign go away, I’ll be okay with it, as that jungle commercial was probably the least funny thing I’ve seen in years.
No amount of marketing will make soda seem manly, period. It’s sugary carbonated water, I mean come on. Soft drink, anyone?
I drink Diet Pepsi and I fucking love it. So there.
To quote the comedian Bill Burr: “Can’t women just fuck off for a couple hours?”
Gay.
If that had been their real response, I might have started using their product.
I have to admit, I don’t get the outrage. The product and the ad campaign are both nonsense. (A 1-calorie diet drink is not manly, but a 10-calorie drink is? ) But I’m content to let them continue to be nonsensical and go about my business …
I think it’s a funny commercial. Then when I saw the end “not for women” I wasn’t really offended so much as I thought it unwise to potentially irritate half the population.
There is one. It’s hard to find, though. I can only find it in diet, sadly. The regular caffeine free version though is like the proverbial hen’s teeth. I’m a DP addict, but I can’t have caffeine, so it’s worth it.
As for the ad, yeah it’s sexist, at least the end line is. Which is too bad, because otherwise it would be pretty funny. Maybe, “It’s not for the weak”, or something.
Doesn’t mean I’m going to stop drinking it, though.
I’m surprised at you, Diosa.
Depends. What would you consider “fucking with us”? If I start a Pit thread, chances are good that I’m at least slightly fucking with you.
Oh, I get that it’s satire. That’s not lost on me. It’s just stupid, offensive satire. The commercial is funny enough, I guess, but it’s the slogan that I have a problem with.
Until this thread, I had no idea soda had gender implications at all. I thought it was as gender-neutral as matches or printer ink.
Brace yourself. You ain’t seen nutin yet. What till she’s in Dr Pepper withdrawal. I’ve seen it before and it aint pretty
For the record: I find this ad campaign lousy, think the “manly” product packaging is ugly and atavistic, but the product is pretty damn good.
Best “diet” drink I’ve seen from the one of the major soda companies.
