The cans I've seen do not have the entire Pledge, or even pretend to. All it says is "One Nation ... Indivisible."
And, this wraps around the top of the can, right under the rim.
When I first noticed, I too wondered why it left out "under God". After looking again, I realized that there wasn't enough room.

If thery aren't at all spiritual I don't want anything to do with them. Are any of the soda pop companies spiritual? I think they all run on a profit motive.

Being a true conservative, I didn't like the governments meddling in an already adequate pledge.. I like the original myself.

Gotta agree with you here. Of course I'm one of those weirdos that think that a "pledge" should be voluntary, not compulsury. It reminds me too much of "1984" to have the state compel people to say they love the state. Love at gunpoint doesn't mean much, and all requirements of the state are ultimatly at gunpoint.

Just a piece of trivia FYI. I like the pledge of allegiance myself.Me too, but the "under God" bit was added after I was born...

I wonder if it is Dr. Pepper itself doing this... There are bottlers of Coca-cola, for example, with names like "The Coca-Cola Bottling Company of Anytown" that are entirely separate companies who merely buy the syrup from the real Coca-Cola corporation but mix the drink and put it in the container themselves.

they omitted the phrase "under God"It doesn't belong in the pledge in the first place, it was added by McCarthyites, not our Founding Fathers.
