Looks like I'll be buying some Pepsi - (If this is true, that is)

[goddess40]

I recently received the e-mail below from a relative. I think we should
start our own e-mail campaign to thank Pepsi for trying hard not to offend
people by buying their product.

DON'T BUY PEPSI IN THE NEW CAN!

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?

1. Unfortunately not true

Snopes says:
Origins: Although there once was some truth to the item quoted above, the information it contains is long outdated and never had anything to do with Pepsi or Coca-Cola. Neither soda company is producing, or has ever produced, redesigned cans bearing any portion of the Pledge of Allegiance or an image of the Empire State Building. This issue concerns a special patriotic can design produced by Dr Pepper back in November 2001, a can which was marketed for a limited time and has been off of store shelves for three years now (since February 2002).

The brouhaha began in mid-November 2001, when the Dr Pepper soft drink company, in response to the terrorist attacks on America a few months earlier, introduced a new can design featuring the Statue of Liberty with the words "ONE NATION . . . INDIVISIBLE" from the Pledge of Allegiance displayed above it:
