This might be the feel-good story of the year!
In December 2025, a woman named Romeo posted a video on TikTok that featured her singing a jingle she made up for Dr. Pepper…and she never could have expected what was going to happen next.
This is Romeo’s viral video that got the ball rolling.
@romeosshow @Dr Pepper please get back to me with a proposition we can make thousands together. #drpepper #soda #beverage
The video became a viral hit almost immediately, and Dr. Pepper decided to use Romeo’s jingle in a commercial!
This video shows some behind-the-scenes action of the making of the commercial.
A TikTokker named Shannon posted the commercial playing on her TV.
@shanslayelaine I LITERALLY SCREAMED IN EXCITEMENT FOR YOU @romeosshow I AM SO PROUD OF YOOOOU! @Dr Pepper #drpepper #drpeppercommercial #drpepperbabyitsgoodandnice
And Romeo posted a video and thanked Dr. Pepper in a fake acceptance speech
Way to go!
@romeosshow THANKYOU GUYYYSSS THAT WAS AWESOME I LOVE YOU #drpepper #commercial #nationalchampionship
