‘Everyone in America has until 6 p.m. EST ... to get a free 20-oz. Dr Pepper,’ the soft drink maker says on its website, in announcing that it had extended its Guns N’ Roses-related offer after ‘greater-than-anticipated’ response (from Dr Pepper and Mr. Pibb fans alike) overwhelmed the site.

The company in March announced that it would give everyone in the U.S. a free Dr Pepper if Guns N’ Roses released its years-delayed ‘Chinese Democracy’ before the end of 2008. That happened Sunday.

‘We want to do everything we can to ensure Dr Pepper fans get their free coupon,’ said the company’s vice president of marketing, Tony Jacobs, in a statement. ‘As a result, we’ve extended the offer, increased our server capacity and added a toll-free number, 1-888-DRPEPPER, for consumers to call to request their Dr Pepper.’
