Signed up! Woot!
It says a “serve” on the website, so I assume you could get a big one from the fountain or something. I’m not sure, though.
Thanks to this thread, I just signed up and my coupon should be here in a few weeks.
What was it Conan called them — Chubby McGee & 5-guys-who-aren’t-Slash, or something…
I like Dr. Pepper… but I think I’ll abstain from that brand of cola until whole thing washes out. Diet Pepsi ain’t so bad.
Two things I’d like to point out. The first thing is that Dr Pepper now has the personal info on umpteen zillion customers by doing this.
The second thing I’d like to point out is that they are doing the cool thing and using reCAPTCHA to verify you’re a human and not an ordinary CAPTCHA. Why this is so cool.

reCAPTCHA improves the process of digitizing books by sending words that cannot be read by computers to the Web in the form of CAPTCHAs for humans to decipher. More specifically, each word that cannot be read correctly by OCR is placed on an image and used as a CAPTCHA. This is possible because most OCR programs alert you when a word cannot be read correctly.
But if a computer can’t read such a CAPTCHA, how does the system know the correct answer to the puzzle? Here’s how: Each new word that cannot be read correctly by OCR is given to a user in conjunction with another word for which the answer is already known. The user is then asked to read both words. If they solve the one for which the answer is known, the system assumes their answer is correct for the new one. The system then gives the new image to a number of other people to determine, with higher confidence, whether the original answer was correct.
… and five guys who aren’t slash. boo-ya!!
They’ve given me quite a lot of pleasure over the years. I’ve given out my personal info (to political causes, granted) for less.
That still doesn’t make fat Axl & some others magically Guns ‘N’ Fuckin Roses.
I don’t fucking care who is or isn’t Slingshots ‘N’ Zinnias. I just want a free soda.
Yeah same here. I’m not going to buy or listen to the album, but I like Dr. Pepper and a free one is nice. I also don’t care that Dr. Pepper now knows where I live. OooooOoOoooooh are they going to come to my house in the night and steal all of my Coke Zero?!
Good luck… I can’t even get their website to load. It’s nice knowing that a free Dr Pepper is the most important thing on the internet right now…
I can imagine. It was 1:35am when I did it, so that’s probably the only reason I got through.
I was just there, and it defined ‘a single serve’ as 16, 20, or 21 oz.
Why serve instead of ‘serving’? though, I don’t know.
Argh! The websites not working!!!
I guess I was lucky I signed up at 9:08 pm Pacific time last night.
I’ve been trying since 5 pm, no luck!
Well, I’ve got 35 more minutes to try and it’s still not working…BOOOOOO! I submit my info to register and I just get a blank page.
For anyone who can’t get the page, this is what it says now:
It’s been extended 18 hours from mindinight sunday into Monday, so keep trying! The website is still wonky. The Toll free number is easier
Woo Hoo! I was oddly disappointed that I couldn’t get in on it!
