I vote for #3 and I am going to go buy a case of Dr. Pepper today- just to make up for the idiots HERE who spread this urban legend.

The 'Pledge of Allegiance' WAS NOT on the Dr. Pepper can with the words 'under God' removed... The entire plege of allegiance was removed- and only a very words whose meaning would be immediately apparent to all...SHEEESH you KNEE-JERKERS HERE are getting annoying...

Thanks. FWIW, though, since I am the one who originally posted this thread - with the actual image of the "offending" soft drink can - so that YOU would have sufficient data from which to develop an informed opinion - perhaps I could be excluded from your generic epithet, "you KNEE-JERK..."

And, in defense of those foolish enough to attack the folks at Dr Pepper wthout first independently verifying the FACTS, please consider that:

1 - The garbled account of what DPSU actually printed on their cans came from relatively trustworthy sources,
2 - In today's "politically correct" environment, the "Pledge mutilation" very easily COULD HAVE happened as alleged, and
3 - Dr Pepper/Seven Up, Inc. in fact DID run - as some of the same "knee-jerkers" have charged - a television commercial in which the primary character "humorously" exposed himself in public.
