    You know why they do it?

    Men will buy it because it's manly.
    Women will buy it in an act of defiance, as if buying it is "showing them".

    So overall more of BOTH genders buy it. Ridiculously effective ploy.

    I think it's ****ing hilarious. It's so smart because women will buy it to be defiant like PLEASE! I can drink it! /hair flip.

    I've been drinking it all this time, and just saw the commercial recently. I'll tell you this- the only thing that bugs me about the commmercial is watching the guy pour it in a glass while he's on a bumpy road- it's spilling all over the place, and that just gets to me! lol must be the "manly" part of it. lol

    I am pretty sure it was a marketing ploy, saying "It's not for women." only makes women go out and buy it ehh? This has probably been said, I skipped over the comments.

    I took it that they were making fun of men - not women... It is only 10 calories so that makes it more 'manly'...haha Ya know, because drinking diet drinks is definitely not manly...haha

    I doubt the agency is tracking this conversation unless MFP discussions are Google Indexed. Not sure about that.

    My line of work is in marketing, so I can't resist making a comment.

    I understand what Dr. Pepper is trying to do with Dr. Pepper 10. Coke Zero and Pepsi Max have been trying to court a male market. Is there really a male market for reduced calorie carbonated beverages? I'm not entirely sure. I have not seen the research reports. Coca-Cola got to the market first in the US with Coke Zero (http://www.ajc.com/business/coke-zero-becomes-a-615176.html ).

    Big CPG companies like Dr. Pepper Snapple Group, PepsiCo, Procter & Gamble and Coca-Cola Company have all the advantages in the world. The resources there are tremendous. Yet still, big companies have had epic marketing failures. Think about Crystal Pepsi, New Coke, Arch Deluxe at McDonald's. The resources and size alone of big companies doesn't guarantee success, but they are better positioned to succeed.

    In the marketing communications, Dr. Pepper 10 is really taking a strong segmented approach. Will it work? To an extent, yes. It really depends on what brand's goals are. They'll pick up some market share as they are differentiated from a product standpoint and the communications are unique. But I don't think they can become the #1 player in the niche.

    :laugh: Actually all posts are Google Indexed on here, but I doubt Dr Pepper is Googling about it himself. :tongue:
