Please ask the producers of 90210 to quit shilling Dr. Pepper and splashing their logo all over the place. — Bill S.
MICKEY: I know, right? That logo is everywhere. My West Bev mole tells me that the Dr. Pepper deal was an experiment gone slightly awry. Future product placement will aim for more subtlety. Besides, Diet Coke with Lime is a far superior carbonated beverage, several free cases of which I would never turn down.
