"Pop a ruby red" is eat a ruby red grapefruit. See website:

"Will eating grapefruits burn off extra calories?
Wouldn't it be great if we could just pop a ruby red? Reality is, though, it takes much more than a grapefruit to whittle away a 32-inch waist. Whereas the digestion of a grapefruit, or any other food, will burn calories, it's not nearly enough to shed pounds. Plus, you don't want to eat just grapefruit, do you? "

: Although it would appear here that we are talking about drugs, I remember the "Grapefruit Diet" and all the hype about the fruit and its link to weightloss...

Yes, I thought about drugs but I really do think they mean to eat just fruit in order to shed the pounds. It would depend on the rest of the context. Taking pills is not in fashion at the moment.

tomarse unas pastillas (drogarse)
No sería fantástico si sólo tomándonos unas pastillas (rojas) perdieramos peso.
to pop pills= drogarse, tomarse pastillas.
ruby red= rubí rojo Refiriéndose al color de las pastillas.
Espero que ayude.
