This 2012 ad posted on Dr Pepper's Facebook page had a little fun with the Theory of Evolution, made famous in Dayton, and the "March of Progress" scientific illustration from the 1960s.  The ad created a bit of a firestorm among some creationists who went ape over the tongue-in-cheek reference of a soda-chugging neanderthal evolving into a man.  The ruckus that these groups, ahem created, led to the ad going viral across social media, providing a well-intentioned chuckle (not a science lesson) to the more sane Dr Pepper drinkers among us - including the stars of this Diet Dr Pepper commercial from 2001.  Click the link below and enjoy.
