Dr. Pepper scam, website down?!


Question: Dr!. Pepper scam, website down!?
Today is the day of the free Dr!. Peppers!. But their website is down!. Coincidence!?Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
Scam!? Absolutely! Dr Pepper has more than enough money to provide a website fast enough to handle the traffic which they undoubtedly knew was headed their way today!. Not to say they aren't giving some coupons away but I'm sure they anticipated the problems and obviously chose to not do anything about it!. They have already gotten their publicity from this so any website problems now just means less products they give away for free!. Tools!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Their first mistake was making it a 1 day thing!. Their 2nd mistake was not putting their money where their mouth is and beef up their website to handle the increase in traffic they knew was coming!. Perhaps they should have also ran coupons in the Sunday papers!?

This publicity stunt will undoubtedly turn very bad if they do not extend the offer so that all people who couldn't sign up for it today (like myself) can do so!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

I did it a little past midnight and it worked perfectly for me!. It's not a scam, they are FOR SURE completely overloaded w/ people registering, not to mention the chance that people are making a bunch of fake names and addresses and having bots continually filling out the forms!. Like I said, they prolly got completely overloaded w/ people filling out fake forms!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

The website was up a few hours ago because I was able to sign in and request my free Dr!. Pepper!. Now, I can't get the main website to load though, so I'm sure they're just overloaded with requests!. I'm going to keep trying for my girlfriend though!.!.!.I didn't expect this to happen or I would have requested hers when I did mine!. All this for a soda!.!.!.but hey, it's fun!. :-DWww@FoodAQ@Com

if you have problems, im pretty sure dr pepper is not in the business of ripping people off!. if you experience a problem call there customer service number and im sure theyll honor a coupon for you!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

page has been loading for 3 hours on 1 computer running firefox and 2 hours on another running IE!. IE has gotten further, but still not there yet!. I agree They should have beefed up the site, or outsourced the processing to someone that could handle the traffic!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

I've been trying to get my free coupon since 12:01 this morning and all i get on 3 different computers is the loading logoWww@FoodAQ@Com

Overload!.

Any other explanation is stupid!. This is a promise over ten years in the making and they will honor it!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
