Gene Simmons shills for Dr Pepper

[RacerX]

It had to happen eventually, right?

Check out money-grubbing Gene (and son!) in this ad for Dr. Pepper:

(Just saw it on the TV tonight)

LOL They've been playing that commercial here for over a month now. Tonight I actually saw the cut version without Nick.
I'm confused, though, because hasn't Dr. Pepper always been a "cherry" flavor?

Love the commercials.
And Joe, Dr. Pepper is carbonated Prune juice... no shit.
Cherry is something they did a few years back, but started pushing again recently.

I heard the rumor about the carbonated prune juice thing, but supposedly the inventor was just trying to make a soda that tasted like carbonated prune juice.
I don't know, I've never had prune juice, but Dr. Pepper always tasted like a cherry flavor to me.

I heard Gene patented the flavors in Dr. Pepper and earns a royalty for every one sold. He must have been pissed about that free give away they did when Chinese Democracy came out.

It's actually Plum juice, but Prunes are simply dried Plums.
Plums have a sweet, almost Cherry flavor.

In TX Dr Pepper is very popular, kind of like Coke in Georgia. I have never drank prune juice so I dont understand the comparison. There is a radio add that doesnt have his kid in it. Gene calls himself the Dr of Love and ties it to Dr Pepper, pure cheese and an obvious money grab.

I think that the regular DP and the cherry stuff tastes pretty much the same.

Prune theory is an urban legend:

If you ever drink prune juice, you still won't understand the comparison. It's nothing like prune juice.. Dr Pepper is actually tolerable. I'd drink it over fuggin Pepsi anyday if I can't have my Coke.

Gene Simmons is in one of the greatest rock bands of all time and he is a fantastic legendary singer, songwriter and performer. A real smart F too.
KISS RULES.

Figures.

The "rumor" has been going around since 1930, so one could easily mistake it as fact.

[toejam]

I knew it was a rumor, but I figured I'd let Ron point it out to you.

Why are some of you phucks so jealous of Gene Simmons success? Is it because he's actually smart enough to make a buck? "Well, he pimps this, he pimps that, he puts KISS on everything under the sun. He's a fucking sellout!"

Get over it.
