Dr Pepper giving away free sodas on its Web site today
11:31 AM Sun, Nov 23, 2008

The company apparently vowed back in March to give everyone a free soda if Guns N\' Roses released its decades-in-the-making album Chinese Democracy before the end of 2008.

Well, the album apparently came out today, so Dr Pepper is honoring its wager and, if you go to drpepper.com, you can register to receive a coupon for one free 20-ounce Dr Pepper or Diet Dr Pepper.

Well, in theory you can register. It looks like heavy traffic is bringing the site down to a crawl. I\'ve been trying for about 20 minutes to get in.

Looks like it\'s kind of working, though, so get your beverage.

UPDATE II: Dr Pepper has extended the promotion through 6 p.m. Monday. The Web site still seems slammed, though, so I\'d recommend calling Dr Pepper at 1-888-377-3773 to get your coupon. That\'s a different number than the one people in the comments were suggesting, but it\'s the official line that Dr Pepper is asking people to use.
