At least they put the pledge on there- even if it was only the original version and not the later 1950s ammended version. Why not criticize the other soda companies for not putting anything patriotic on their cans, instead of making a stink over a company that did put an original piece of Americana on the can? It's not like they changed it as did the WTC statue folks in NY- they just printed it as the author originally wrote it. It is second best, perhaps, but better than nothing at all. If people slam companies every time they try to do something good, companies will not do anything at all for fear that someone will find fault in it and get their panties in a wad.

I've gone through cases of Dr. Pepper with this particular graphic rendition. First of all, the entire pledge is not on the can and was never intended to be. The wording is exactly "One Nation...Indivisible". Yep, those words do occur in the pledge, yet that doesn't mean Dr. Pepper is going out of their way to omit "under God". If you want to look at it that way, you might also be upset that they didn't mention anything in particular about a flag, they didn't specifically mention the United States of America, nothing to the Republic for which it stands, no liberty, and definitely no justice for all.

I agree with your other points, piasa. Dr. Pepper didn't have to add the patriotic theme, though I'm sure they'll make sure to run their plans by all the whiners when they change the graphics the next time.

Dr Pepper tastes good. I have better things to do then read cans for the word god. I will still buy it but I will not buy I dunno maybe the equal amount of coke and pepsi then we can call it even ok?
