Ads: Dr Pepper again

Boy, those ditwads doing the ads for Dr Pepper are really on a run, if stupidity were an Olympic sport. A beautiful blonde (think Reese Witherspoon) is on a romantic date with a handsome guy (think Fred Savage) who is saying he just won the lottery but wants to keep working at the children's hospital, then professes an emotional connection with her... Meanwhile all she can do is sip her Dr Pepper as his professions of sincerity become her ditzy-headed mantra "Mah-nah-mah-nah" (to the tune of "Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo"). Tagline: Dr Pepper is so good, "you'll get lost in it."

So here is a guy who is offering her everything any woman has ever wanted, and she's oblivious? Nothing is that good. Besides, anything that would turn you into a bobble-headed ditz probably shouldn't be trusted.
