    LAST TIME I'm saying this! :wink:

    My OP did NOT say I was "offended." I just said it wasn't a very smart marketing strategy, because saying it's not for women does not make me want to buy it, and my husband does not grocery shop.

    Facepalm, MFP, facepalm.

    Resume. :bigsmile:
    I disagree. Now if you always do what you're told (which is often kinda hot), and you don't buy it, then the ploy fails.

    If the fact that they are marketing it to men does not dissuade you...win.

    If some women see it as a challenge and at least try it...win.

    If men drink it in hopes it makes them more manly...win.

    From what I read when the product came out - it was supposed to be marketed towards men and women. They thought women would buy it to prove the marketing wrong, and the men would buy it because it's not a full on "diet" drink.

    I have tried it - and it actually taste really good. It doesn't have that diet after taste. But then again - if I were a woman I guess I could be offended. I still haven't broken down and bought Secret (strong enough for a man, but made for a woman)

    I actually find the commercial hilarious but I'm a Mountain Dew fan and my hubby likes Coke Zero stuffs so I haven't tried it.

    I do agree though that the marketing seems a bit off. I haven't seen the commercial much though, so it's possible it is marketed towards more shows that are geared towards men more?

    I think what they were trying to do is gear the ad towards men who want to drink something they would think was "healthier" but not "diet"

    Which my response would be.... a real man doesn't need to care how it is perceived lol...

    Just drink whatever the heck ya want, if it tastes good. :)

    I think that's the whole point of those stupid commericals - reverse psychology.

    Am I the only woman who isn't offended by this? I just thought it was a joke...or am I not reading far enough into it?

    It is a joke!!! That men do not drink diet drinks and women do. So here is a "diet" drink that men will actually drink. It is a joke. Just like the axe commercials...like how many women are going to hop in bed with a man just because he has on axe cologne. It is a joke.

    I think the commercials are funny!! And, Dr. Pepper 10 is the only diet soda that I like. it actually tastes good!

    Do men get offended when they see a tiny woman eating a big Hardees burger? Is Hardees saying that you men can't handle a big burger like a tiny woman? No, it is just making fun of our stereo types.

    Thank you! Someone who gets it! The stereotype is that men don't drink diet soda, so they're trying to get them to try it by challenging their "manliness". I like Dr Pepper 10, though not as much as Pepsi Max.

    CATCHPHRASE!
