   "In a cynical attempt to mitigate it's exposure, Dr.Pepper quickly erected numerous barriers to redemption; To get a free soda everyone had 24 hours to go to drpepper.com on Sunday November23,which meant the soda was only free to those Americans who had heard about the redemption plan in time and had access to a computer on November, 23.
