Dr. Pepper recently came out with a new ad campaign.
If you've seen it then you know what I'm talking about.
If you haven't, well watch this.

In my personal opinion, it's disgusting, offensive, degrading and ridiculous that stuff like this still exists in this day and age!
But, you know that's just me.
I wrote on the facebook page and reported them and then I emailed the Dr. Pepper website. I probably could have been more kind but I wanted to make my sentiments known and...well I think I got the point across.
Dearest Dr. Pepper,
You are no longer dear to me.
Not since that repulsive Dr. Pepper 10 commercial.
I am a woman, a lady, a girl and I am extremely offended. Lots of people say, "Who cares? It's funny!" but I disagree most ardently.
What you're saying is that Diet pop is a girls drink, that men need to manly, and that all women love rom/coms and what the heck is a "lady drink"?! You might as well be saying "Men are awesome and far superior to women". If you wanted attention then fine, sure, you got it, happy? Now stop! This is awful. I thought society was passed this. I used to love Dr. Pepper and while I still do, I will never drink it again. After this, could you really expect me to? Thanks for stereotyping me and putting me in a box.
With No Love from an Infuriated Ex-Fan
