Sheeple, this urban legend is not only false, it's old.
http://www.snopes.com/politics/business/undergod.asp
Y'all are being manipulated into righteous indignation over a lie.
*shake head*
"Although there once was some truth to the item quoted above, the information it contains is long outdated and never had anything to do with Pepsi or Coca-Cola.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).
Dr Pepper did not print the entire Pledge of Allegiance on their cans while leaving out the words 'under God'; they invoked the Pledge of Allegiance by using a mere three words from the pledge. However, because the three words Dr Pepper chose to use were the words surrounding the phrase 'under God' (which was not itself part of the original pledge as written by Francis Bellamy in 1892 but was added to the pledge by an act of Congress in 1954) the new patriotic can design prompted calls for boycotts from some religious groups and news media who maintained that Dr Pepper had "omitted 'under God'" from their version of the Pledge "
Follow the link above, you'll be rolling on the floor laughing as you read the escalation of righteous rhetoric over a non-problem.

well if that is true i will continue to drink pepsi.
if it is not true i will continue to drink pepsi.
I am a Pagan and really do not care what the religious affilliations of a company happen to be. if i like the product i will buy it. and i do not care what kind of wrapper it is in. the only time that i boycott a product is when they are donating money from the direct sale of that specific product to an organisation that i donot support (like PETA) but that is rare for that to happen. i do not care who they donate to with their overall income. it is when i see the "10 cents from every purchase will go to (insert charity here)"
that i make a decision on weather or not to support that product for the duration of the charity drive.

yeah i heard about this in an email my friend sent me. it said...
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.

Isn't it a pity that the "God" is considered "Politically Incorrect" because Muslims claim they are offended by it since it refers to the "Christian God"?!?
Have a nice day.
