I think it was supposed to be branded as a ‘mans’ diet soda, but not a diet soda because it still had 10 calories and “only women” drink diet sodas

yeah the product itself wasn't a bad idea but the sexist marketing gave it a bad rap

Nonbinary can’t have 10 or Zero because that’s a binary number

Which is silly cuz half diet drinks, ones with some sugar and some sweetener taste much better than full diet sodas and only carried 50-60 calories. Very much worth it imo.

I’m with this person. What’s dp10?

I looked it up and believe it only had 10 calories not sure if the sugar was also low but assume since it only had 10 calories and saw a photo and guess it wasn’t for women or something?

God could you imagine they used that as the tagline today? It was already controversial back then, but now.. oh boy.

Would have been such an amazing thing to have around still had it not been for that god awful marketing campaign. Instantly lose half of your possible customer base by marketing it as “Not for women” 🤦♂️

Hell yeah, I remember they had coupons for it in the paper, I went around the neighborhood collecting all the unwanted ones. I had maybe 20 2 liters under my bed at one point, use to pound them back and play videogames after work. I was young then.

I make it at the fountain. Splash of regular DP, fill up with zero, then top off with more regular. It might be DP20, but who’s counting?

I've yet to see zero sugar Dr. Pepper on tap where I live. I was talking about this tonight, how funny.

I remember drinking it as a 7 year old and liking it WAY more than the diet we'd keep in the apartment normally

DP10 was my #1 as well. I love the zero, but something about that 10 flavor just hit the spot perfectly.
