Outline
Long circulated message claims that a new Pepsi can is to feature the Pledge of Allegiance, but will omit the words ‘Under God’
Brief Analysis
This message is a very old hoax. The claim in the message is false. Pepsi has no plans for such a can, nor has it ever produced a can that features the Pledge of Allegiance, complete or abridged. Despite its age, this hoax continues to circulate many years after it was first launched and continues to cause considerable consternation as it travels.
Example
… patriotic PEPSI CAN coming out with pictures of the Empire State Building and the Pledge of Allegiance on them. Pepsi LEFT OUT two little WORDS on the pledge, “UNDER GOD”. Pepsi said they did not want to offend anyone. So, if we don’t buy them they wont be offended when they don’t receive our money that has the… words “In God we Trust” on it!!! How fast can you re-post this??
