Dr. Pepper to Axl Rose: Give Us “Democracy” and We Will Give Soda to All

By John

In one of the most savvy marketing plans ever hatched, Dr. Pepper has promised a free can of soda to all Americans applicable (read: no soda for either of you, Slash and Buckethead) if Axl Rose releases Chinese Democracy before the end of 2008.

While I tip my cap to the brains over at Dr. Pepper, I’m not sure if a Dr. Pepper-endorsement is good enough for Rose. If anything, this carrot-wagging will probably have him asking for more companies to chime in with offers. I can see it now – Panda Express Presents: Chinese Democracy.

Will Axl redeem his past and release a masterwork? Will I get my free can of Dr. Pepper? Find out the answer to these questions and more in the next episode of… As the Axl Spins.
