Dr. Pepper Wants You To Pick An Artist That's As Adjective-Laden As Possible
Beverage company Dr. Pepper’s “Sabrosura Art Contest” invites you to pick among 23 artists to decide which is, alternately, the most “zesty” or “spicy.” You know. Like a chalupa:
Starting today, online voting at http://www.drpeppersabrosura.com, will determine five finalists and the grand prize winner. That one “spicy” artist will receive almost $10,000 in cash and have the opportunity to display his or her artwork on Dr Pepper packaging and promotional materials.
“We received some amazing artwork from all over the country in the Dr Pepper Sabrosura Art Contest,” said Jaxie Alt, director of Dr Pepper Brand Marketing. “It is time for our consumers to vote on art pieces that best represent the ‘sabrosura’ of Dr Pepper.”
Apt, we think, since Dr. Pepper kind of tastes like eating Hot Tamales out of an asshole.
Not that we’d know… what that would. Taste like.
Shut up.

what the Dr. Pepper marketing team DOES get kudos for is the killer photoshop job it did on Thalía. seems they airbrushed that pesky ribcage thing she had going on. the fatty.

@slater: apparently dr. pepper isn’t just a chemist. seems he does a little nip and tucking, too.
@G-Bee: how can you hate the Dr. Pepper?!? have you tried the diet one? super deelish. stop el hate.

@ slater: Haven’t you heard? Ribcages are so 2007.
@ smrtmnky: The only time I’ve tried Diet Dr. Pepper was very recently at Momofuku, which, for some reason, serves no other soda at lunchtime. It should be noted that I drink nothing but Diet Coke and the tears of college socialists. So, you know, that day at lunch, I think I may have actually cried. I felt so lied to. :(

Dr. Pepper is a staple here in Texas. AKA It is to Texas what spice is to Mexicans.

Thalia’s Photoshop?? pesky ribcage?
how about ageing mouth lines?
a little gossip , she made charity March of Dimes spend over 5,000 USA on retouching work for a PSA advocating pre-natal care, she did not liked her wrinkles in her face despite all the reflectors trying to cover it up,as if, then again that took one or two baby incubators out of Katrina victims, that bitch.
Beauty has a price

@ Chilangonyc: I didn’t know Thalia did that to the March of Dimes. You’re right - she is such a bitch! March of Dimes is the charity I support and now I’m full-blown pissed at her!
