GnrDaily Speak With Dr Pepper About Guns N' Soda
04/02/2008
.
(GnrDaily) With all the talk right now regarding the Dr. Pepper challenge, we at GnrDaily decided to reach out to the corporate folks at the company and see exactly what they have in mind. Greg Artkop the Director of Corporate Communications for Cadbury Schweppes Americas Beverages, the parent company of Dr. Pepper, was kind enough to take a few minutes with me to answer some questions. Big Pat: There is a tremendous buzz right now with regards to the Dr. Pepper challenge. What brought this on? * Greg Artkop: "Dr Pepper believes the world needs more GN'R. We wanted to do our part to get Chinese Democracy out of the studio and into our iPods." Big Pat: On the GN'R official web site, Axl responded to the challenge, quite quickly in fact! To fans that was a surprise. Did you read his response? If so could you comment on it? * Greg Artkop: "We were extremely pleased that Axl responded so quickly - and favorably - to our offer. I guess we'll have to expand to include a Dr Pepper for Buckethead. That was an interesting and unexpected bonus!" Big Pat: Has your company gone as far as developing a plan to carry out the distribution of their product should the album actually be released this year? If so and you can share what is it? * Greg Artkop: "If the album is released in 2008, everyone will have the opportunity to download a coupon for a free Dr Pepper from our website." - more on this story
