Dr Pepper designed a patriotic can featuring the Statue of Liberty, but they left out the phrase “under God” from the Pledge of Allegiance heading. When asked why, Dr Pepper replied: “We felt ‘One Nation … Indivisible’ best represented the message we were trying to get across.”

Dr Pepper has used the excuse that wasn’t enough room on the can for the words “Under God.” The real reason is that the company didn’t want to risk offending anyone who doesn’t believe in God. Bad timing. After the events of 9/11, that’s just not politically correct anymore! Sad! .... that "Indivisible" is more important than "God."

I would like to have it included but for their marketing I can understand why they did it. At least the 3 periods lets the reader know there is more to the saying than what is printed.

To many people god is non-existent or completely insignificant. I for one would like to have the term removed from the pledge of allegiance.

The way the left is acting the word “indivisible” is a joke. It seems to be their goal.

They are using the original form of the pledge, which was written in 1892. “Under God” was added in the 1950s as part of the Cold War.

Next will be the poem on the Statue of Liberty, "Give me your poor...etc." which some think should be given the force of law. Not! It's just a poem.

I was ten years old when that phrase was added (June, 1954). I thought it was a mistake then and still think that today. To this day, I remain silent for that phrase when citing the pledge.

No, I mean god. Or, perhaps I should say gods.

Under God was added to the Pledge on F**g Day 1954. When did Dr Pepper make their first can?

Doesn't take much for a few people to piss and moan about something.

Which God, Whose God, What God, Is there a God, and on and on.... Religion is like patriotism, and vice versa, it is/should be inside you, warming you, guiding you, not worn on your sleeve.... Not all have the same beliefs, that makes them neither bad nor good, and our beliefs should be our own, and we should all be allowed to practice our individual beliefs, especially in this great nation. Words and symbols and f**gs are just decorations, it is what is inside each of us that matters, and how we treat our fellow human beings. My$.02
