"We never thought this day would come," said Tony Jacobs, vice president of marketing for Dr Pepper. "But now that it’s here all we can say is: The Dr Pepper’s on us."

Dr Pepper is aiming to give free soda coupons to every American when the new Guns N’ Roses album is released on Nov. 23, 2008.

The Guns N’ Roses album “Chinese Democracy” has been rumored to be 17 years in the making, though recent reports say the official release date will be Nov. 23.

There have been more rumored release dates than the 23 flavors of Dr Pepper, but if Chinese Democracy hits stores as planned, every American will get a coupon for one free 20-ounce Dr Pepper, the company said.

Here’s how to do it:

  • On the Nov. 23, 2008 release date, go to www.drpepper.com.
  • Register your information to receive a coupon for one free 20-ounce Dr Pepper.
  • When the coupon arrives, redeem it wherever Dr Pepper is sold.
  • Drink the Dr Pepper slowly to experience all 23 flavors.

    The coupons will be available for 24 hours beginning at 12:01 a.m. Eastern Time on Nov. 23. The coupons – limited to one per person – will take four to six weeks to arrive, and they’ll expire on Feb. 28, 2009.
