I drink Dr. Pepper and I’m proud

Arguably the most famous of Dr Pepper‘s advertising campaigns was their “Be a Pepper” series. These commercials referred to fans of Dr Pepper as “Peppers,” and often featured crowd dance scenes with elaborate, over-the-top choreography. One popular ad included the jingle:

“I’m a Pepper, He’s a Pepper
She’s a Pepper, We’re a pepper
Wouldn’t You Like to be a Pepper, Too?
Be a Pepper~ Drink Dr Pepper”

A jingle is a memorable slogan, set to an engaging melody, mainly broadcast on radio and sometimes on television commercials.

The intention is that whatever actions are performed upon the effigy will be transferred to the subject. This use of poppets is known as “image magic”. They are also known as Poppits and Pippies.
