They already have those. They just call it eharmony.
Yeah, because eHarmony promotes itself as racially-exclusive
eHarmony is anti non-Christian and Gay. They have no problems with races as long as you're part of their
Basically this. It's only as successful as it is because they are so choosey about who they let in to begin with.
You can buy whatever you want while wearing one of those.

Kewl. Ima go to the religious store and stock up on scapulars and St. Francis medals.

Riiiight, I forgot about your mustache collection. Can I borrow the one that makes you look like the Pringles guy?
There are many uses for a pringles can.
Also, reminder that these commercials are plenty insulting and damaging towards men as well, even though they are "pro-guy" or whatever.

Whats this weird feeling in my pants? Im confused.
Totally.
Dr Pepper 10: the taste you can hate.
Taste test time: I think what they did was make Diet Dr. Pepper, but then put in the minimal amount of sugar or whatever they could to put it at 10 calories per whatever. (Disclosure: the 20-ounce bottle I had was 20 calories total.)
On the whole, I'd rather drink Diet Dr. Pepper than this stuff, "manliness" be dipped.
Catchphrase!

Pretty much the same as Coke Zero, which is the standard coca-cola concentrate, but mixed with artificial sweetener instead of corn syrup/sugar. Unlike Diet Coke which is a different concentrate.
Fun fact: Diet Coke cans float, while Coca Cola Classic cans do not. Coke refuses to explain why, because it would reveal their formula.
It is likely that Diet Coke is half carbonation. Same reason that they are great for dropping Mentos into.
As ill advised as this new Dr. Pepper strategy is, it is still better than Pepsico's new campaign for Mt. Dew:

For some reason I'm reminded of one of the few American Dad episodes I've watched -
Stan to delivery woman, hauling away the suspension fluid tank for his "fake vacation" VR system- "Hey lady, don't let any of that touch your skin, it'll shrivel your ovaries into raisins!"
(Haley's eyes go wide, stares into space, unconsciously puts a hand on her abdomen)

So they can go the "direct" route and say that it's "not for women", or they can go the more direct route and say:
"Hey guys we know you don't drink diet drinks because men don't really have to give a damn about their body image, at least not like women, so you really could care less about the extra calories from a drink with sugar in it, but for some reason we're going to try and market a diet drink to you"
Which illustrates the stupidity of the campaign. Diet drinks ARE for women because men really don't care. Unless they have diabetes.

I think men care more than they let on. It's just the image of diet drinks is for women and that is what campaigns like this are trying to get around. They failed but the intent was good.
I think coke zero and pepsi one did a better job. They took the diet out and they are both very popular with guys.

But diet drinks ARE for women. And diabetics.
Seriously I am curious how many men in here drink diet drinks? For most guys they either don't care about the small number of calories that they get from soda or they are health-smart dudes and understand that a diet drink is equally bad for you due to the skeletal damage and excessive caffeine so they don't drink soda at all.
I know very few men who drink diet drinks.

I don't know about small number of calories. 240 calories in on 20 oz soda is a lot.
That's why people say "i stopped drinking soda and dropped weight like crazy!"

I prefer diet soda... normal soda tastes too "syrupy sweet" to me.

I think the issue is that very few men are "casually" health concious. They are either over the top health nazi's that run 5 miles a day and refuse to eat processed nuts or they sit on the couch watching TV while drinking beer and eating pizza, pausing only occasionally to eat a peperonni slice the fell on their shirt.
Edit: And yeah, that 250 calories means pretty much nothing to me since the 3-4 beers I drink each day are what, like 800?
