I got an email from a friend about Pepsi. This implied that Pepsi is Unpatrotic because they left two words out: ‘Under God’ in the Pledge of Allegiance and it has Empire Building pictures on the can.

First of all, I love Pepsi. But I have nothing to do with the religion here. I just was puzzled about this one. So I decided to research a bit on that and I found the similiar message that I got in email to see if that is true. Well they said it is not true. They got mixed up with Dr. Pepper. The Dr Pepper did leave two words out, “Under God.’ I believe the reason they thought it was Pepsi because of their new look on the cans. You can view the design of the cans here. It is nice.

You know that the rumors can be very dangerous. Rumors can cause a lot of trouble. It can easily be misinformed.

This one is from the site called truthorfiction.com below. You can find that link here.

I’ll buy Coke!

Pepsi has a new patriotic can coming out with pictures of the Empire State Bldg. and the Pledge of Allegiance on them. But Pepsi forgot two little words on the pledge, “Under God.” Pepsi said they did not want to offend anyone.

If this is true then we do not want to offend anyone at the Pepsi corporate office. If we do not buy any Pepsi product then they will not receive any of our monies. Our money after all does have the words “Under God” on it.

Please pass this word to everyone you know. Tll your Sunday School class tomorrow and tell your Pastors so that they can tell the whole congregation. We want the words “under God” to be read by every person who buys a can

This version below that I got from email:

Don’t buy Pepsi in the new can. Pepsi has a new “patriotic” can coming out with pictures of the Empire State Building , and the Pledge of Allegiance on them. However, Pepsi left out two little words on the pledge, “Under God.” Pepsi said they didn’t want to offend anyone.

In that case, we don’t want to offend anyone at the Pepsi corporate office, either! So if we don’t buy any Pepsi product, they will not be offended when they don’t receive our money that has the words “In God We Trust” on it.

You can check about the Dr. Pepper leaving two words out, “Under God” from truthorfiction.com here.

The excerpt below:

As you may or may not have heard, Dr Pepper is coming out with a patriotic set of soda cans. The problem is that one of the cans will have the Statue of Liberty on one side and the Pledge of Allegiance on the other. Why is this a problem? Dr Pepper has taken upon themselves to remove “Under God”. The can will read “One Nation, … , Indivisible, with Liberty and Justice for All”.

This has got to stop. When a handful of people wanted to stop prayer in school, I did nothing. I wasn’t in school any longer so it didn’t seem to bother me. I know this may sound hypocritical for me to now want to be involved, and I really can’t explain why this seems to tear at my heart, but it does. I have children now and maybe that’s the reason. For all of you with children in school, or grandchildren or nieces or nephews, this has touched you more than me. I see the world in the shape that it is in today and worry about the shape that it will be in when my children are older and attend grammer, middle and high school. What part will God play in the future? Will he even have a part?

This action from the Dr Pepper corporate office is no more than an attack on Believers. This does not target any specific denomination. This does not target christians. This is a slap in the face of both Believers in the One True God and Americans in general. My father fought in a war for his country. The Pledge of Allegiance is a symbol of what they were fighting for, just as the flag that waves today. The audicity of any single organization to take it upon themselves to change such an institution as the Pledge of Allegiance is more than I can stand.
