RETRO

[Rath Darkblade]

Hmm --- I understand 3 of those ("Fonz", "Keep on Truckin" and "I'm with Stupid"), but "I'm a Pepper"? Sorry, I don't get it.

Hmm --- I understand 3 of those ("Fonz", "Keep on Truckin" and "I'm with Stupid"), but "I'm a Pepper"? Sorry, I don't get it.

It's from a Dr. Pepper ad campaign.

As an aside, the "Wouldn't you like to be a Pepper, too?" vaguely sounds like you are being asked to join a cult. My favorite use of this is from the "Transformers" episode "The Return of Optimus Prime". Everyone is being infected with a highly contagious "Rage Plague" and Wreck-Gar (who speaks only in quotes from TV) uses the line as he infects someone. The line is very menacing when used in the wrong context. I loved it when I first saw it.
