The Dr. Pepper jingle-maker’s alleged paycheck inspired the masses to monetize their untapped creative potential.
Romeo of the homemade Dr. Pepper jingle pitched their tune, “Dr. Pepper, Baby/Is good and nice…” on a hope and a dream. Weeks later, on Jan. 19, 2026, they landed a national television spot that featured the jingle, igniting a rumor that Dr. P compensated her with $2 million.
Now, TikTok creators inspired by Romeo’s success are composing their own—TBH absolutely fire—jingles for major beverage brands.
Coca-Cola sooo-dah
TikToker @kiaeliz__ secretly recorded her dad as he riffed on a jingle for Coca-Cola. He sang, “It ain’t SOOOdah if it ain’t Coca Cola.”
Her dad impressed himself with his own Coca-Cola jingle. The TikTok creator explained in onscreen text, “My dad is jealous of the girl who made the Dr. Pepper jingle and her overnight wealth so he’s in here trying to make his own for Coca-Cola.”
She appealed to Coke in the post’s caption, “Coca-Cola let’s give my dad a deal. He’s so committed.” The hilarious clip from Jan. 21, 2026 went massively viral with over 22 million views.
TikTok user @eyearewoke replied, "Tell him Coke and Pepsi are about to be fighting for him." @mangodandi added “Unc after seeing the Dr Pepper girl” with a photo of Denzel Washington.
A Mountain Dew "for you" jingle
@lannguini targeted Mountain Dew with a get-rich-quick attempt shared on Jan. 22, 2026, racking up over 16 million views with her spirited jingle. Incredulous, she asked, “2 million dollars?” before belting out, “MOUUUNTAIN DEWW UH..ISS FA YUUUUHHH.”
Crush soda gets a jingle
Content creator @pryncestephon workshopped his jingle for Crush in a series of TikTok videos from Jan. 23, 2026. “Dr. Pepper? I got one even better,” he announced. @pryncestephon erupted into laughter as he hit the punchline of his tune, “That’s not love, that’s a Crush…”
"This [is] the one," wrote @humblyangels. Which soda jingle will be next?
