Plan to NOT buy Pepsi for a while

[Lucy-san]

you're fucking with me right? pepsi vanilla? oh my...
there is a god...I'm convinced.

Pepsi, Coke, 7-Up, Sprite.

All of those and others were founded in a country where a person or a business has the right to print what they want on the can. We have the right to buy it or to not buy it. If you like Pepsi (vanilla included), buy Pepsi; if you don't like Pepsi, don't buy it.

Give me a Dr. Pepper because that's what I choose to buy.

Food and drink is very political! Of course people care! Give me a Beef Crunchy Taco. Go Arnold! :razz:

I don't get how america is the land of the free and you can believe what you want and you have God on your notes? I just don't get it. lol

it doesn't specify which god...it says in God we trust, not "in the Christian God we trust" (i know weird)...

and sorry CeCe i have to disagree with you on this one...I love pepsi, and if they choose not to put "in god" it's their choice, maybe the owners of pepsi are atheist?...There is a seperation between government and church (not a huge one understandably) celebrating America does not mean you have to include God...

not to mention the hott sexy lady beyonce is the spokes lady.

people really piss me off. I'm moving to Canada where people don't care about this kind of stuff.

Need help packing? I'll help escort you to to border.
You dont wanna be here. LEAVE or stfu.

ya know what?  she is 14 do you really expect her to leave quite yet?...jeez when people say that to minors it just seems stupid to me...because they are NOT 18...they can't really leave...

[LimeTwister]

True. I didn't think of that.

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....

ok we had this arguement before...but straight from the horses mouth...

Caleb Bradham, a New Bern, North Carolina pharmacist, renames "Brad's Drink," a carbonated soft drink he's created to serve his drugstore's fountain customers. The new name, Pepsi-Cola, is first used on August 28.

haha...yeah canadians are so care-free
not really...we're exactly the same as americans, just a bit more reserved generally. as for me, I'm all canadian woman and I have more cares then anyone.

Being a declared atheist I have to comment.  I totally respect other people's religion.  I've actaully helped people out spiritually to understand their own religion for the purpose of helping to make them more spiritual.  I've actaully brought people closer to god.

But I'm sick of people who treat the fact of not including god as the same as putting, "Fuck God."  That is what they should put.  Then see if you're offended.  Maybe then you might have some perspective.  We should just declare a state religion where all other religions are burnt to the ground.  Maybe then you will have some respect for the freedoms you have.

It's not about religion. It's about what America was built under. Not religion. I think I've already made that clear. If America was built under handicap apes, the Pledge of Allegiance would say "One nation, under Handicap Apes," evidenty I wasn't built under handicap apes, so we don't say handicap apes, it was built under God. And that's it.

I dont care if it says "worship satan" on the bottle. I'm still drinking pepsi....well diet pepsi that is. I couldnt stomach coke if my life depended on it.

[x Jennifer x]

lmfao....i don't even notice whats on a can..as long as it can satisfy my thirst..its all good .some of you really need to grow up..

[Logikal X]

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...

 :wink:    


PS: soda sucks......milk water and beer.

lmfao....i don't even notice whats on a can..as long as it can satisfy my thirst..its all good .some of you really need to grow up..

Grow up, eh? Okay, how about this . . . I don't believe that what Pepsi's saying is right, regardless if it's on a can or not, so I'm not gonna give Pepsi any of my money, 'til it's changed. You all don't have to do that.

it doesn't specify which god...it says in God we trust, not "in the Christian God we trust" (i know weird)...

Yeah, and if mexico had states that just happened to touch, they would be united, and states, and of North America, no? It's an implied Fact. If you did your history work, you would see that that is the god they are talking about. Also, it's capitalized. So it's not a diety. It is the deity known as God. Like Zeus is the god known as Zeus.


About what's her face going to Canada, it's just a matter of the fact that she can't do it at 14 so much as it's a matter of stupidity. I mean face it, Canada has problems, too. Most of them don't like their prime minister, don't like the national insurance. And where did she get the idea to say I'm going to Canada? The same people that said they were leaving if Bush got elected? The same ones that had grown through socio-poltical issues, and have a moral and scrupulous foot to stand on. You aren't one of those at 14. This is your 4th president. And you were barely alive during Bush Sr.


And despite where pepsi was first served, the product had been sold for a bit of money a few times, right? So the forumula could have been made in tibet, and then sold to a pharmacist who sold it to idiots, and then sold it to a big suit who then turned it into what it is today. Whoopdeedoo.


I think that Jason is totally dead on, as long as pepsi is printing that version of the Pledge. If they say Circa 1923 or whatever, then woohoo for them. I'm just saying they shouldn't deface what it is and step beyond their bounds as a soda company. Not that their say should really amount to anything. Sorta like Evanescence, Christian people, not a Christian group. America was built predominatly by Christian people, but not as a christian nation, hence the first amendment.

Slavery is something this nation was built upon, would you see to it that pepsi showed a slave owner with a whip there because that's our nations history? Or so many other things? Whatever...I can't believe this thread is still at the top
