I will gladly pay you Tuesday for a Dr Pepper today

They had me at free Dr Pepper. The source of my creativity. The source of my pain. The one true love who will never turn its back on me will be free on Nov. 23. Thanks to Guns N' Roses for finally finishing their album. I've honestly thought Axl Rose was always a patsy but he won a point from me because I will be drinking a free DP. 23 flavors, baby!

Dr Pepper flowing as new Guns album arrives

By Jonathan Cohen

NEW YORK (Billboard) - Guns N' Roses fans thirsting for the band's first album of new material in 17 years will have a sweet, fizzy treat to savor as they listen.

Dr Pepper is making good on a promise to provide every person in America a can of the soft drink if "Chinese Democracy" were to arrive in 2008, and has revealed details of the plan.

"We never thought this day would come," Dr Pepper vp marketing Tony Jacobs said Wednesday. "But now that it's here all we can say is: The Dr Pepper's on us."

Interested fans are being asked to visit DrPepper.com (http://www.drpepper.com) on November 23, the day "Chinese Democracy" is released in the U.S. exclusively via Best Buy. After registering online, fans will receive a coupon redeemable for a 20-ounce Dr Pepper wherever the drink is sold.

The twist: The coupon is available for only 24 hours and will expire on February 28.
