It sounded smart enough, and I get what you're saying, but like you said, there's no point, lol.

"Excusez-moi, sil vous plait. . . . Did you catch that? Yeah, excuse me, right?"

EDIT: It means "Excuse me please"

I like pepsi, in fact i prefer it over coke.  I purchase it because of the taste... i could care less what is on the cover.  I do think if you're going to quote the 'Pledge of Allegiance', you should quote the entire thing.. however i would never let something as trivial as the decorations on a can decide wtf i drink... people that get upset about that need to think about all the people who can't afford pepsi or barely have anything to drink... they should focus their worthless energy on something more productive =)

YAY PEPSI!!!!!!!

katia I agree..
people are getting militant for no reason!!!
but I do believe that this GOD thing has just blown over the edge.
People are so damn sensitive to it now they will pee their pants
if a company/product is somewhat religiously affiliated.
so if you feel that bad about it then don't use money? lol
use the old barter system...
It is funny that something that this country was founded on is no longer
valued and now is being  shaped to whatever society wants it to be.
What a shame
I agree Pepsi should have more edge...political correctness has crippled many things in this country
You know what?? God ROCKS!!! lol

all you did was add an apostrophe and capitalize moi when you shouldn't have. You still missed an accent or two, so forget the French.



For the record, I like pepsi much better. I don't have a problem with Coke not wanting to offend people, but I think that they are causing a bigger problem by half assing it. If they didn't want that on there they shouldn't have started. There are other patriotic themes. Clearly people still got offended, and with damn good reason.

But seriously bringing out all that America was a christian nation crap is stupid. America was founded as a nation that could grow. We have grown away from a dependency and common belief in God, and that is okay an acceptable. So no one needs to agree with forefathers, etc. I think that the cans should say Go America! Or Drink more Pepsi or something. I think that the AmeriCANs were nice, and that this is all stupid

I wouldn't drink a Pepsi anyway because it's just plain nasty.  Coke would kick its ass if it could.  But Pepsi, not wanting to offend members of the minority, has instead offended members of the majority.  Regardless of what some out-of-control civil rights activists would have you believe, that is not a good idea. :?

As an FYI on the Pledge of allegiance...

The original Pledge read as follows: 'I pledge allegiance to my Flag and  the Republic for which it stands, one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.'

The words "Under God" were NEVER part of the original pledge written in 1892... It wasn't until 1954 that those words were added as an attempt to take a stab at "those heathen Communists."

The pledge never had the words... it was never supposed to.  Those two words have caused way too much controversy and should be removed. The pledge should be restored to its original 1923 National Flag Conference form before more govenrment school kids are forced to ignore it and treat it like a part of history.

I see nothign wrong with Pepsi printing the ORIGINAL Pledge of Allegiance (1923)on its cans...

True. I didn't think of that. ;D

I'm gonna go protest out in front of the Pepsi thing factory looking thing on Crittenden Drive.


Did you know pepsi started right a short distance from me? Well it did, and the bottling company is about 30 minutes away too!

So guess what? I'm gonna buy that shit anyways...I bought a 2 liter last night, which is rare that I buy any kind of product like that...But who cares if that don't have crap written on it, it's the drink not the words....

I will continue to buy pepsi. Because my boyfriend's dad works for pepsi, and sometimes he gives me free pepsi stuff =)


Besides, I think pepsi is better than coke.

oh God!
this is SO OLD!
i got this email like 5 or more months ago

this is either a hoax(which i think it is), or pepsi did this already then stoped it, or they never will do it...

speaking of Pepsi... i just got pepsi Vanilla yesterday, and let me tell you, it IS MUCH BETTER than Vanilla coke!
