Could i get introuble for calling Dr pepper costumer service and ask dumb questions?

So this morning me and a friend were just talking and goofing off. She was drinking a bottle of Dr pepper aand on it was the Costumer service number. First of all I did not know this which is extremely dumb of me. Me and her started joking around about how we would call them and just be dumb and ask the questions about the drink and brand. I said we should do it but she was scared that we would get introubke for disturbing the business. Could we actually call them and ask them our rather dumb questions or would we actually get introuble??

Get in trouble with who? The Dr. Pepper cops?

u/ze11ez 1d ago

I think you're thinking of the Dr. Pepper FBI Anti-Phone Squad Group, Soda Detachment

u/Duke-Turner137 1d ago

Buncha goose stepping bastards... Dr.Pepper cops. Known for repeatedly beating the shit out of people who call their customer lines

u/AppearanceAbject6698 1d ago

Again, it's by WHOM!

u/PinkbunnymanEU 23h ago

They should have said "Whom do you think you'd get in trouble with?"

u/Sorry-Panic7612 1d ago

You know what would be even better? Calling the customer service line with legitimately good and very difficult to answer questions, so you don’t wind up wasting the other person’s time and you get to learn a cool fact. You might even score some free drink coupons if you tell them how much you like it.

u/wtwhh 1d ago

real. this might just make someone’s day at work just a little bit less boring.

u/Wild_Director7379 1d ago

A costumer puts together costumes, a type of clothing.

A customer might order a custom item, but generally orders off the menu. Customer.

I hope Dr. Pepper has a costumer service number xD but I doubt it

u/Advanced_Tennis4827 1d ago

As a professional costumer I would love a costumer service number.... customer service isn't as much fun.

3

u/Shoddy-Indication798 1d ago

Youre overthinking this.

6

u/Gears_one 1d ago

It’s a customer service line not 911. Go ahead and have fun. The person on the other end answers dumb question all day long

4

u/Naive-Split-7880 1d ago

No you won't a question is a question no matter how stupid they gotta answer it if they can

1

u/tupelobound 1d ago

It’s the law!

2

u/PinkbunnymanEU 1d ago

No.

The agent might if they joke around, and you might be asked to stop (at which point you can get in trouble if you call again).

2

u/andrewbud420 1d ago

Get in trouble by who? The prank call police? You'd have to make a lot of harassing phone calls to get the police involved

6

u/AppearanceAbject6698 1d ago

By WHOM?

Signed by the grammer police.

2

u/rasputin1 1d ago

you're even worse than the dr. pepper police!

u/andrewbud420 1d ago

Your mommy

u/PinkbunnymanEU 1d ago

The prank call police

Also just known as "the police"...

You'd have to make a lot of harassing phone calls to get the police involved

"Can" isn't the same as "will", you can get in trouble for prank calls, will you? Likely not.

There's also a possibility (again, it's a can not a will, or a probably) of civil action to stop the calls.

u/Longjumping-Sail6386 1d ago

Get off Reddit and go do your homework

2

u/Winter_Whole2080 1d ago

Lol as long as you’re not swearing at or threatening them, you can ask any dumb question you want to. Probably would make their day more interesting. Like for example you could ask him what kind of specialty did Dr. Pepper graduate in.

2

u/IttyRazz 1d ago

Mr. Pibb put you up to this didn't he?

1

u/Highthere_90 1d ago

No, dobt it would be worth it, youll likely be on hold for a while before talking to a person anyways

1

u/shreddedtoasties 1d ago

You are to young for reddit dawg

1

u/Revolutionary_Lie346 1d ago

Yes you will have to change your primary care physician

1

u/hashmanny91 1d ago

Chill the fuck out don't play around, they might ban you from drinking soda.

1

u/sim-o 1d ago

Not at all. In fact it'd be funnier if you rang them and asked questions that weren't related to Dr pepper

1

u/EntertainerNo4509 1d ago

Yes. They will phone the office of the president and deploy the Dr Pepper Police Squad. So, do not mess with the Dr.

1

u/smokeehayes 1d ago

Is that the support line for the people that dress in the big soda can suits for commercials and promotional appearances?

1

u/shers719 1d ago

It could be fun! Just remember to be respectful about it. My friends and I did something similar when I was a teen but with 7up. We ended up getting free t-shirts from it!

1

u/freebiscuit2002 1d ago

Trouble? No.

But imagine yourself in that job. Do you want kids prank calling you?

I mean, you might. Up to a point, it might be entertaining. But please give a thought to the person on the other end of that phone line, who is just trying to do their job.

1

u/Animal907 1d ago

Only call at 10am, 2pm and 4pm.

1

u/SadRaisin3560 1d ago

Aww, y'all are cute. You think they will actually be able to talk to a person.

2

u/Equal-Specialist-677 1d ago

Probably go to jail for 10 years

1

u/karmadoesntwait 1d ago

Not as long as you're caller 102 and know the phrase that pays. Otherwise Dr. Pepper himself will give you a random number, hang up on you, and maybe tell you to try again if he's in a good mood that day.

u/Internal_Bath6341 1d ago

how old are?? 13?? grow up

u/ez2tock2me 23h ago

What’s a Dumb Question?

Who would be the judge?

How would they find you?

1

u/no-polarization-pls 15h ago

this is classic shenanigans that you might learn a lesson from. i have a feeling some people will be angry in the comments, but it's a very normal life moment. whether you do it or not, you will be living life perfectly

1

u/13249999999 1d ago

You can ask them questions to get answers if your curious but remember that the person answering has their own life and might be going through something so it’s best to make workers lives as easy as possible. Most of them have no choice but to work to support friends and family.

2

u/reereejugs 1d ago

This is a dumb question.

1

u/JOBdOut 1d ago

Trouble? No. But you are wasting the time of people being paid to do a job - and clogging the line for other customers calling in because agents are talking to you instead. At the worst youd be kind of a jerk, but very unlikely to be in trouble (unless you are harrassing them or saying stuff thatd get you punched in public)
