Dr Pepper learnt a tough lesson in Great Britain last July with the huge scandal concerning the status take-over promotion on Facebook started as part of the brand’s ‘What’s the worst that could happen?’ campaign. Having tendered apology for the blunder (the thing was that a mother found her 14-year-old daughter searching for the meaning of her new status update with ‘two girls, one cup’ phrase referring to a notorious porn video), the brand closed the activity. Now, the buzz went down and almost one year later, the brand comes back with another teen-oriented project, dubbed ‘Pepperhood,’ which definitely will not have any unwanted after-effects.
