The Dr Pepper company plans to make good on its promise to give all Americans a free soda if Guns N' Roses [ tickets ] releases its album "Chinese Democracy" before the end of the year.

Earlier this year, the company promised that each and every American would receive a free Dr Pepper if Axl Rose finally released the album, which has been 17 years in the making.

The band recently confirmed the album would be released Nov. 23 on CD, vinyl and digitally.

"We never thought this day would come," Dr Pepper VP of marketing Tony Jacobs said in a statement. "But now that it's here all we can say is: The Dr Pepper's on us."
