DiscerningSoul Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 My mom sent me an email today and the contensts are pasted below. I am a big soda drinker, and trust me, I am not going to buy Pepsi. I am offened that they left "Under God" out. So much for Pepsi not wanting to 'offend' anyone. ************************* Subject: DO NOT BUY THE PATRIOTIC PEPSI CANS 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. HOW FAST CAN YOU FORWARD THIS ONE? ************************** Jessica [url="http://www.xanga.com/adiscerningsoul"]http://www.xanga.com/adiscerningsoul[/url] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XIX Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 Well I drink about 3 sips of soda per 5 years. So I'll have to make sure that none of those are Pepsi. : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jkaands Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 (edited) [mod]personal attack[/mod] I personally use www.snopes.com a good deal. The latest was when my mother-in-law tried to warn me that in 'just a few days' my cell number would be invaded by telemarketers. That one has been around for years. [mod]personal attack[/mod] BTW, don't drink Pepsi or Coke or any soda. Drink what Jesus would drink--water.

She was simply passing on something from a trusted source that might be of interest to others here. People on here knew how to research it and the truth was learned. Please be kind.
