    Dispensers will only exist in men's bathrooms, built into the urinals.

    Maybe it causes women to grow hair all over their bodies and get giant fangs and spend every night ripping people's guts out.

    Maybe Dr. Pepper is just trying to save the world.

    I would feel bad making fun of Dr. Pepper if they were just trying to save the world.

    It probably makes people with too many X chromosomes explode after three sips.

    This is not a surprise at all. Since men find it *embarrassing to drink a diet soda the big companies have been creating sodas or rebranding existing low cal sodas to men.

    See Pepsi Max and/or Coke Zero.

    Note the absence of the word Diet.

    *based on research and studies

    I drink diet all the time... even in front of other people... including men. :p

    Now the "unmanly" commercials by Miller Lite are truly stupid.

    Every time I hear the voiceover say "man up", I want to punch a guy in the junk out of principal.

    That and Miller anything is asswater.

    I'm with the Dr. on this one. They're not saying women can't drink it, but they're being quite literal in the fact that the drink was made, specifically, for men. And they even pointed out that the slogan, while literal, is also tongue-in-cheek.

    They also were not implying women need to drink it to prove themselves, they just saw that women took it that way, but more as a challenge than a highly negative diss.

    Anyway, I think it definitely looks offensive, but upon closer inspection, not a big deal.

    It is a big deal. Andrea Dworkin would never have approved.
