Title: Dr Pepper 10 - wtf? "It's not for women."
Post by: Freeper on April 02, 2012, 02:21:05 PM
I recently saw that stupid commercial and I turned to my wife and said, "Just wait, someone is going to get all offended over this", and once again I was right.

Dr Pepper 10 - wtf? "It's not for women."

I've heard their commercials several times now, and every time I get more and more disgusted.

What the hell is this?

I understand that they are trying to expand their customer base and cater to men who don't think diet soft drinks are macho - or whatever 

But I cannot recall any soft drink or beer or wine or any beverage commercial that proclaimed "It's not for men".

Because I am a woman, am I not supposed to try it?

Seriously - wtf!?!

I know that might sound insulting but I personally am strongly opposed to banning any sort of foodstuff or beverage, people have the ability and right to chose what they consume.

Liberalism is all about the government being a nanny.

Tampons and assorted feminine products are marketed to women. I don't see any guys getting offended.

Secret, strong enough for a man, but made for a woman.

What about all the beer commercials showing hot women fawning over some guy because he is drinking that beer?  (I guess the bulls might try those beers)

I had a coupon for a free Dr. Pepper 10 when they first came out.  It was so-so.  It tasted kind of like Dr. Pepper, but I need the real thing.  If I'm drinking Dr. Pepper, I want the 150 calories (can) or 250 calories (bottle).  Maybe Dr. Pepper 10 didn't taste good to me because I am a woman.

Or it could be because you're conservative and Dr. Pepper  10 is marketed at the metrosexuals that need any little thing to prove their masculinity.  Me, I drink Diet Coke when I do drink soda, but it isn't often, and don't hide it.

The 5 Most Insulting Ways Products Are Advertised to Men

It wasn't so long ago that pipe-smoking men in dark suits could sell their products to women with a patronizing pat on the head and a wink. Those days went the way of the cocktail lunch, but sexism still rages in the advertising world. It's just that now, everybody gets in on it. And just as ads in the 1950s assumed that all women were housewives desperate for new ways to starch their husbands' shirts, advertisers today demonstrate an extremely low opinion of their male customers.
Cracked (http://www.cracked.com/article_19758_the-5-most-insulting-ways-products-are-advertised-to-men.html#ixzz1qzVzmYNd)
