LOS ANGELES (AP) — Dr Pepper is making good on its promise of free soda now that the release of Guns N’ Roses’ “Chinese Democracy” is a reality. The soft-drink maker said in March that it would give a free soda to everyone in America if the album dropped in 2008. “Chinese Democracy,” infamously delayed since recording began in 1994, goes on sale Sunday.
“We never thought this day would come,” Tony Jacobs, Dr Pepper’s vice president of marketing, said in a statement. “But now that it’s here, all we can say is: The Dr Pepper’s on us.”
Beginning Sunday at 12:01 a.m., coupons for a free 20-ounce soda will be available for 24 hours on Dr Pepper’s Web site. They’ll be honored until Feb. 28.
Dr Pepper is owned by Dr Pepper Snapple Group, Inc.

Paul and I took my brother Philip and his friend Scott to Murray State University this past weekend for a college visit. I haven’t been back in almost 6 years and Paul about 3. Murray has really grown since we’d been back, and the campus itself has a lot of new, amazing buildings. They are slowly rebuilding all the dorms; Clark College has already been built behind Winslow cafeteria (which was also completely remodeled), and they are building a new Richmond behind Hester. Quite the building operation around there. They’ve also built a new Chemistry building, Biology building, and are in process of a new public safety building.
We had a really good time on campus. It was fun to show Philip and Scott all the areas to hang out, and talk about “real” college life to them. I think they had a really good time and are thinking seriously about going to MSU next fall.
We also got to meet my cousin Trish and her husband for the first time. Well, my aunt and uncle’s grandchild…2nd cousin? 1st cousin twice removed?? Oh heck, I don’t know. Either way, we had dinner together Sunday night then went back to their house and hung out. We had a really good time and were glad to meet them. We’re hoping to see them again if they head north sometime in the future 🙂
Sean and I went to Oma and Opa’s house (Heinz and Colleen – German for grandma and grandpa) over my fall break. We had a really great time and Sean had a blast! He made best friends with their cat, Ginger, who let Sean bat and squeeze him. To give you some history, Ginger is over 12 years old and has never been a social cat or liked anyone to touch him. While we were up there, he took a special liking to Sean and didn’t care WHAT Sean did to him, Ginger just purred and rubbed on Sean. It was so cute. Check out the pictures of our stay:
