Dr Pepper 10 in Canada?
Have you guys seen this stuff in Canada? Holy crap is freakin awesome. I am a diet drinker mainly because of Diabetes. It has 10 calories and 2g of sugar per can. It is 10X better than Diet Dr Pepper and Coke Zero ( my favorites) .

What a stupid ad for pop.

Especially considering the can itself has a very effeminate quality.

Definitely one of my pet peeves, when a company advertises a product that is in no way gender specific as a gender specific product.

Do you drink diet drinks regularly? I find a lot of the people I know that do have the same response.

I read the other day they are trying to reach the market of middle age men. Because it is women who mostly purchase diet sodas. Its like marketing soap for both genders, even though they are the same product. Some smell different, some don't.

This'll be just one more in a long list of diet pops we don't get here.

I'd better not catch any of you broads drinking this on the sly.

Dr Pepper is different in the States, it is made by Dr Pepper/Seven Up Inc, whereas in Canada it is made by Canada Dry. I find the stuff in the States to be better tasting, just like A&W in the States tastes way better then the stuff you get in the bottle here.

But typically if you want to expand your market, you don't do so by excluding the other entirely, especially when that's the market that typically buys these drinks. They couldn't have just marketed it without saying, "This is not for women" and done other things to subtly appeal to men? And why is it not for women? Because it has fewer calories than the regular drink? Because it has dark purple fonts? How is that manly? Are the men here more likely to buy this than regular Dr. Pepper? Are they more likely to buy it because it says it's not for women? Honest curiosity there. Would this or has this ad worked on you?
The soap comparison doesn't fly with me. Soaps are different, as you say they are different smells which to me makes them different products. My body wash soap smells like cucumber and green tea. My boyfriends soap is in bar form and smells like dirt and scabs or something. He wouldn't use my soap and I wouldn't use his. They are marketed in different ways, because they are different.
This is pop. It's the same pop, the same product, for everyone. Why go out of their way to exclude one whole market? I mean, women can still drink this. I imagine it isn't infused with testosterone or anything, but I just don't understand the marketing. I may have tried this if it came to Canada, because I find the diet Dr. Pepper to be quite gross and unsatisfying. I don't think I'd bother now, to be frank about it.
And while I'm on a rant here (about pop of all things!), I can't think of too many guys I know that are constantly turning down pop because of the calories. Not saying guys don't watch calories, but a guy will drink whatever the hell he wants, beer, pop, whatever. It's the chicks of the world that are constantly on diets and counting calories.
No, this isn't right at all, I tells ya! You can keep your damn pop Dr. Pepper, ya bitch! I didn't want it anyway!

Just going to say that I strongly disagree with this part - I think dieting is much more of a private issue for guys than it is girls - just look at the weight loss thread(s) we have here on CP.

Fair enough. Maybe it's just the guys I know, but if you mentioned the calories in the beer, pop, whatever they were drinking, they'd laugh in your face. Like I said, not saying guys don't ever count calories, but it's still much more of a chick thing. Never been in a bar where a guy said no more beers because they are too calorie laden. I find weight loss for guys tends to revolve a lot more around eating more proteins and lifting weights than cutting/counting calories. But I'm willing to say I may have been wrong in that part. I'm not a guy. That was just my thought.

I think the "not for women" bit is kind of clever. It creates an air of exclusivity where none exists.
"This pop isn't for me? Well screw you, I"m going to drink it anyway!"
