Someone has told you an "urban legend." This story has been around since 2002.
Quoting from the article: "Although there once was some truth to the item quoted above, the information it contains is long outdated and never had anything to do with Pepsi or Coca-Cola. Neither soda company is producing, or has ever produced, redesigned cans bearing any portion of the Pledge of Allegiance or an image of the Empire State Building. This issue concerns a special patriotic can design produced by Dr Pepper back in November 2001, a can which was marketed for a limited time and has been off of store shelves for three years now (since February 2002).
The brouhaha began in mid-November 2001, when the Dr Pepper soft drink company, in response to the terrorist attacks on America a few months earlier, introduced a new can design featuring the Statue of Liberty with the words "ONE NATION . . . INDIVISIBLE" from the Pledge of Allegiance displayed above it.
Take a look at the link, and you'll see the truth.

The original pledge of allegiance didn't have the words "under God" in it. It read "I pledge allegiance, to the flag, of the united States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all".
Seriously, I'm not lying. The words "one nation under God" were added by Joseph McCarty and his ilk during the 1950's commie witch hunt, when people were afraid atheists would take over the world.
I'm glad to see that Pepsi is joining the fight to restore the pledge to it's original form! The pledge of allegiance should never have been changed!

I think you are right. Pepsi has no right to alter our Pledge of Allegiance. The Government should take legal action on Pepsi for this. They have offend me and you by leaving out the words "under GOD", but I guess we people who believe in GOD don't count according to Pepsi. I don't like Pepsi anyway Coca cola is much better.
GOD bless America.

Did you know that the pledge did not contain the words "under god," that it was later added by someone other then the author? Because of that, I think it is Pepsi's prerogative which version they wish to use.
If you are a believer, please do yourself a favor and find your faith strong enough that a SODA CAN not including it is not going to ruin yours or anyones beliefs or that a can will change the world for better or worse.
I don't think your deity or savior would care that much about a petty thing like a SODA CAN.

I wonder why this is such and issue. The original Pledge of allegiance did not have the words "under God" either. This was not added until the 1950's. I wish this whole thing would go away. I mean the ones that are bitching just want things left they way they should be...so lets do that...lets go back to the original version.

The original pledge did not include the words"Under God". It was added later on. If you really care about the pledge you need to read up on the history of the pledge.
'I pledge allegiance to my Flag and (to*) the Republic for which it stands, one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all' - Original Pledge by Francis Bellamy, a Baptist Minister.

To many people, Jesus is not the saviour. Just because you consider him to be doesn't make it right.
What Pepsi is doing is right, in my opinion.

I think it's marvelous that main stream companies are finally realizing that NOT ALL OF US WANT TO HAVE THINGS THAT REFERENCE A god! It isn't about insulting religion, it simply making pepsi a nonreligious drink. which, seeing how it is a soda, it should not be religious. And since the pledge of allegiance isn't a biblical quote in the first place, god has no place in it to begin with. Hopefully all this 'god' nonsense will blow over before long, and we can quit seeing it on our money, flags, and other national identifiers.

You don't need to shout, darlin'.
You may be surprised to learn that is not how the Pledge of Allegiance was originally written, and I don't think there is anything wrong with returning it back to how the author intended it. Although we all grew up saying that, it is now commonly accepted to have it in its original form.
Since there should be a separation of church and state, I have no problem pledging my allegiance to the US and my allegiance to God on separate terms.
Best wishes.
