Dr. Pepper

Recently while watching TV with my brother and his girlfriend, a Dr. Pepper 10 commercial came on. To be honest, when I first saw it I thought it was funny. At the same time it did not sit well with me. After watching the commercial the three of us had a similar reaction of "Wow, really?!" I didn't know that Dr. Pepper has had this advertising style or similar group of commercials for a little while (I rarely watch TV, so this was all new to me).

Don't get me wrong, I realize stereotyping and what society deems as "typical gender role" commercials are everywhere. I was surprised at how many stereotypes this commercial was filled with. You should try to count them, how many do you find? I get what Dr. Pepper is trying to do here, make women frustrated and want to drink the drink even more. Also it gets people talking that's for sure.

I posted this video on my Facebook and some of my friends had interesting things to say. Hmmm.

Here's the commercial I am referring to...

Thanks for reading. Happy thoughts :)
