Turns out she's a Pepper, too!


EDIT: Curious about her hoofmark? :) See, there was a study done (I want to say in the early 1920s) that showed the human body's glucose levels are lowest at 10 am, 2pm, and 4pm. Dr Pepper used that info in their advertising, "Drink a bite to eat at 10, 2, and 4!" to encourage people to "Pepper upper" their blood sugar, and have it for a snack. All of their bottles had 10, 2, 4 on them (in the arrangement they'd be on a clock-face) for 50 years!

In fact, they even made clocks that said Dr. Pepper, which had all the numbers, but with the 10 2 and 4 in bright red. Here's an ad I found:

She's awesome and the only soda I drink now it DP!! Well, with the occasional orange soda when I'm in the mood. I love DP and she is gorgeous!
 
Woah, she's a beaut! Love her colours and her mane and tail! Soo pretty, and interesting as well!
 
:tongue: You know...the more I see her...the more I want her. I really wish Hasbro ponies were this good. I just love the speckles on her face. Too FRIGGIN cute!! *sigh*
 
That is awesome! Dr. Pepper is my fav. :) I LOVE the way you did her hair!
 
I love speckled look.:love3:
 
Thanks everyone! The speckled look is from airbrushing her. ;) I really didn't know if I was going to like this pony until I got her hair in, and then I was like, "Oh she's so cute after all!" lol, this was my first tongue-painting, too, and I almost forgot to do it! I'm so glad I did. Thank you all for your wonderfully kind comments! *swigs a Dr P*
 
I just love this pony! Her hair and speckled face are my favorite parts! She is just great! :)
 
Man, the people who make Dr. Pepper should hire you. Everyone on this board officially wants a Dr. Pepper LOL Now that's good advertising!
 
Thanks! Now if you could just forward this link to the kind folks at Dr. Pepper/7up/Cadbury, I could get a job, lol! Seriously, though, IDK if they'd take too kindly to my using a copywrighted product without licensing and rights and stuff. Of course, there may be a former MLP owner on the executive board, so you never know! *grabs another DCVDP from the fridge*
