I love Captain Morgan mixed with Dr. Pepper, so this ad makes total sense!

I'm actually thinking hot Dr. Pepper with lemon might be pretty darn good even without the rum. I think I'll have to try it!

[angstzeit.livejournal.com]

It is.

I never heard of Hot Dr. Pepper before. Interesting.

What is the last word that is printed at the end? I read it as Gelandesprung! When mentally adding the ä this translate to me as terrain jump. Not a word I have ever heard. Is that an usual expression?

[misstia]

that is the word at the end....i have no idea what the word means or why they put it there!!!

[pikkewyntjie.livejournal.com]

I was wondering about that, too. I think it's one of those things the old coot says in those Progressive ads.

I have no idea if this has anything to do with it, but the word has to do with Alpine skiing. Here's a photo:

The shape of the skis are echoed in the chevron-shaped symbol underneath "Dr Pepper." Both seem to emphasize the whole winter/ski lodge theme.

By the way, when I took the tour of the Dr Pepper museum/bottling plant in Dublin, Texas, the tour guide said that hot Dr Pepper is no longer pushed by the company -- when they switched from cane sugar to high fructose corn syrup it changed the flavor dramatically. I think if you want the real hot Dr Pepper experience you have to buy the special "Dublin Dr Pepper" (made with cane sugar and sold throughout Texas).

excellent point about the HFCS! it totally would make it taste different if they heated it up with HFCS in it....YUCK!!!

It means - A jump in skiing made from a crouching position with the use of both poles.

It's also, apparently, a ski club in Green Bay, WI.

YES - for the jigger of rum suggestion.

[juliannamkh.livejournal.com]

Yes - Because I have this advertisement hanging on in a frame on my wall! :D

I remember reading in a book about hot Dr Pepper once (can't remember what book it was, but one of the characters liked it), so I had to try it. I didn't like it very much, but then again I don't much like cold DP either.

I want a set of those cups.
