Best Buy exclusive

[McGann]

For anyone that doesn't get it... people really aren't getting Dr. Pepper's... The only way someone is getting a Dr. Pepper on their doorstep is if they went to the store, bought it, came home, put it on their own doorstep, woke up the next morning and saw it there.

I had to clear that up... wow.

Incorrect.

I received a six-pack of Dr. Pepper in the mail with a note from a fellow GN'R fan involved with Dr. Pepper.

Ali

Ali's beyond doubt,
As are most of the others
Who got the six-packs.

I have chatted with
Two more well-trusted members...
The story is true.

Depends.


A few members of this board received Dr Pepper for free thanks to the Dr Pepper folks.


So, there you go.

Am i correct in thinking that the Dr Pepper deal was that if the album came out in 2008 everyone in the United States would get a free can? How come people who live outside of the United States are recieving six packs?

I want some Dr Pepper too!

[jarmo]

So was it only fans from the US that got it?

Yes, a few.

This wasn't tied with that deal at all.

This was them offering to send free stuff to GN'R fans.


It was like a free give away.

There's no conspiracy behind it.

Ah i see, i wasnt looking for a conspiracy, how did this all come about? I havnt been about much over the past year! Have to say im pretty shocked this is happening. Knowing our luck though Best Buy will probably go bust before November due to the Global Economic Crisis!

I was asked if I wanted to help, so I randomly picked a few people on this board....

[chineseblues]

So it's finished now? No more free Dr. Pepper until the album is out?

[faldor]

If you don't mind me asking.  Did anything come with the 6 packs?  A note of some sort?  Not that it would give any relevant information about CD. 

[Ali]

Yes, a note did come with the six pack.  No inside information.  Just a thank you note.

Ali

[faldor]

That's pretty sweet. Enjoy your Dr. Pepper's.  Keep the faith.  Hopefully we'll ALL get ONE by years end.

Yes, actually...some of us are.

I got a 6 pack of Dr. Pepper, a note, and a business card delievered directly to my door.

Just to clear that up....wow.

[pilferk]

If you don't mind me asking.  Did anything come with the 6 packs?  A note of some sort?  Not that it would give any relevant information about CD. 

A nice note..but nothing with any inside info.  Just a "Thanks for supporting GnFnR" kinda note.

And a business card...

I don't know about anyone else, but I'm gonna send out a thank you card.

[Apollon]

That's a cool gift and a nice reminder of what we're up to... 

[Dont Try Me]

yup, sounds cool! 

[SINSHINE]

Six Pak of Dr. Pepper? Must be a hint that CD will be a 6 Disc release! 

Just kiddin'...cool that some of you got a little surprise!

[Jada]

That's so cool! I didn't get one, but I think I'm gonna buy myself a few cans tomorrow. 

[D]

so how would GNR get the addresses of random GNR posters to send that to?

[jarmo]

GN'R had nothing to do with it.

It was something done for GN'R fans who frequent this board.

[Bodhi]

Thats very cool...I can only assume my Dr. Pepper is lost in the mail?  Just kidding...that is cool though how Dr. Pepper is getting involved and giving out free stuff to the dedicated long time GNR fans...or any GNR fans in general for that matter...a sign of great things to come...

[sofine11]

So still no official announcement regarding the release date today?  Man, they must be planning something BIG if they've waited this long to confirm or deny the November release rumors...
