Pepsi
Did anyone get this email about Pepsi? 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.If you're a believer and follower of Christ then repost this message and get the word out!! Just thought I would pass it on. |

Re: New Pepsi Can Email Hoax
Pepsi Can Email Hoax As soon as we seen this post we quickly did a websearch and this is what we found. Subject: New Pepsi Can 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. Tell your Sunday School class tomorrow and tell your Pastors so that they can tell the whole congregation. Christians stand up and let your voices be heard. We want the words "under God" to be read by every person who buys a can. Cowboy Crew Research: The email forward reproduced above calls for a boycott of the Pepsi Company on the grounds that they are unpatriotic and anti-Christian. It claims that a new "patriotic can" that is to be released has the Pledge of Allegiance on it but omits the words "Under God." Naturally, such a can might be somewhat offensive to patriotic US citizens, especially those that are Christians - perhaps offensive enough for them to forgo purchasing Pepsi in protest. The problem here is that the claim is completely untrue. Pepsi has no plans for such a can, nor has it ever produced a can that features the Pledge of Allegiance, complete or abridged. It is therefore not surprising that in spite of the fact that the email has been circulating for around two years, the alleged Pledge of Allegiance can has not yet made an appearance. This pointless rumour apparently arose from a similar email bourn protest surrounding patriotic packaging used by another drink manufacturer, Dr Pepper. The Dr Pepper packaging featured just a few words from the Pledge of Allegiance and "Under God" was not amoung them. However, it is highly improbable that Dr Pepper intended the omission of "Under God" as a political or anti-Christian message. Dr Pepper/Seven Up's statement on the issue. http://www.dpsu.com/drpepper_can.html In any case, Pepsi is in no way affiliated with Dr Pepper and this email rumour is a ridiculous waste of bandwidth Pepsi has information about the hoax on its website. http://www.pepsi.com/help/false_rumor.php A Note from Dr. Pepper: The can, released in November 2001, features an image of the Statue of Liberty along with the words "One Nation … Indivisible." The special packaging was designed to reflect our pride in this country's determination to stand together as one. The Statue of Liberty and Pledge of Allegiance were chosen as two of the greatest symbols of American freedom. Only three words were used from the Pledge of Allegiance. Those three words were in concert with the patriotic mood of the nation. I hope this helps out. Cowboy Crew! |
