Pepsi has a new "patriotic" can coming out with pictures of the Empire State Bldg. and the Pledge of Allegiance on them. But, Pepsi left out 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. Well they offended me! You wonder why sometimes you think GOD has turned his back on the USA ? Go figure. |

Iceman, Untwist your panties, it was an urban legend. Here, have a look... "Comments: This false and pointless message is a variant of the Dr Pepper protest circulating since February 2002. Dr Pepper cans did, in fact, briefly carry a patriotic slogan in 2001-2002 featuring an excerpt from the U.S. Pledge of Allegiance. However, Pepsi — an entirely different and unrelated company, I hasten to add — has never run such a promotion, nor announced any plans to do so. Statement from PepsiCo: We wanted to clarify an erroneous report that has been circulating around cyberspace for the past several months. Pepsi has not created any packaging containing an edited version of America's Pledge of Allegiance. (PepsiCo Website) " Feel better?  Babs |

Also the term 'under God' was actually added to the Pledge in the 1950's during the height of Tailgunner Joe's alleged commie crisis. win "... (Corporations) have all the benefits of voters, without the guidance of a conscience. ... Corporations they will bring this country down." |

www.snopes.com is the best source for inbox rebellions. Pictures, petitions, scams, hoaxes, moral outrage, ill or missing people/children...it's all there. If you get an email that you are unsure about, go there and type in the subject matter. They'll point you to the email and whether or not its true.

Don't worry, Ice, I got that too and fell for it also. But then again, I am a Classic Coke girl all the way anyway so it really didn't affect me at all.

You should always check the validity of rumors/virus warnings/calls to action/etc messages that arrive in your email box, because it's been my experience that 99.9%+ of them are bogus. This stuff is borderline spam, IMO, especially since checking them is so simple. It's usually a matter of just copying and pasting the first line into Google and running a search. You'd be surprised what turns up.
In my entire life, I think I've gotten maybe 2-3 of these sorts of messages that were for real.

I'm definitely not getting into heaven because if I wanted a Coke....a few missing words wouldn't really deter me from slurping that puppy down if I was thirsty. Yes....I'm practically a heathen...I know!!
