Dr. Pepper has received some backlash over the “Evolution of Flavor” ad placed on its Facebook page. It’s received some complaints on Facebook from creationists who found the play on evolution offensive.
One offended commenter posted, “Love Dr Pepper but don’t like that you are implying we come from monkeys. I believe in God and the Bible. God says He created us in his own image.” Others defended the humor in the ad. “This is all so ridiculous, why can’t a company just have a funny advertisement without it becoming a religious debate?” posted another commenter.
As of this posting, the ad has received more than 3,000 comments and almost 25,000 likes.
