    Dr. Pepper tastes like malted battery acid.

    Case closed. :bergman:

    After 17 years and tons of hype, I'm definately going to be interested in hearing the finished product of Chinese Democracy. If Axl had put it out in 1998, nobody would have cared. But in 2008, it's taken on a life of its own and demands attention.

    The whole thing is on myspace right now. I listened to it earlier and all I have to say is... eh.. I'll pass.

    I'm going to listen to the whole thing. Highly doubt I'll buy it, but anything new from Axl at least gets a few minutes of my time.

    Chinese Democracy, a contradiction in terms. Kind of like Dr. Pepper.

    Dr. Pepper, hah!

    I prefer Mr. Pibb--he earns his paycheck. He's the kind of soft drink I'd like to have a beer with. ;)

    Same here. I never cared for GnR. Axl Rose's voice grates on me.

    The only thing worse than Dr Pepper is root beer... :vomit:

    I liked Irn Bru as a kid, can't stand it now...

    Seven Up and Lilt are the only carbonated drinks worth talking about. :borg:

    I think it's one of those things on which one has to be brought up: I'd read loads about root beer, and was desperate to try it when McDonalds opened in Croydon in the 70s. I couldn't believe how sweet it was! As I said, on the rare occasion I want something carbonated, I'll stick to Lilt or Seven-Up. ;)

    I went to check out the album on myspace... ugh... my eyeballs almost exploded.

    I remember why I hadn't been to myspace in months and months.

    Two things I'd like to point out. The first thing is that Dr Pepper now has the personal info on umpteen zillion customers by doing this.

    The second thing I'd like to point out is that they are doing the cool thing and using reCAPTCHA to verify you're a human and not an ordinary CAPTCHA. Why this is so cool.

    Oh I love root beer! Especially A&W. They also have a cream soda that's really good. I always get a bottle of either of them when I see them.

    Mountain Dew(with no ice!) is the only carbonated beverage I prefer. Otherwise, it's tea for me.

    I think it's the Germolene smell that really puts me off root beer. 'Tis horrible stuff.

    Dr. Pepper looks like every other soda, take off the label and it might as well be, or so it seems but one sip of the prune flavored wrongness and you know it ain't soda. It's a lie.

    Yeah, the hell filled with root beer! Of course that sounds exactly like root beer heaven. Makes one wonder if overlapping afterlives ever share space, you know, to save a little money.

    Well, the people who get sent to Special Root Beer Hell are used to provide all the services for all the people who are sent to Special Root Beer Heaven.

    Thankfully, a lot of hot women are going to the Special Root Beer Hell.

    Anyone else having a bitch of a time getting their coupon? I just read an article saying they're adding more servers, but even when I get it to load the site doesn't work (in IE, Mozilla, or Chrome).
