"...it's not for women!"

Discriminating commercials are a wonderful way to sell a product-- especially since, in the majority of homes, women* do the grocery shopping.

Facepalm, Dr. Pepper, facepalm.






*Disclaimer: I am not saying men do not grocery shop. I am saying it is not the "norm." (http://www.fmi.org/forms/uploadFiles/412C30000000E.toc.Time_Use_Institute_Preview_2008.pdf)

    My Husband saw that commercial, laughed, and said "It is SO for women, I wouldn't drink it!" He only loves the real Dr. Pepper :)

    I think they were counting on viewers understanding sarcasm.

    first ... there's not a "." after the "dr" -- something true dr pepper fans know.

    but, more importantly? I think they were counting on viewers understanding sarcasm.

    Are you new here? :wink:

    The purpose of it was to market Dr. Pepper to men (sorry; grammar teacher-- can't do it.), so where is the sarcasm in that?

    I'm a journalist. you've gotta write it the way it is.

    (unless you are me and don't feel the need to use the shift key when typing online.)

    it's kind of like adidas, which has no caps, even if it is the first word of a sentence.
