Snopes.com. Pass the Word.

I can't figure out why some people believe everything they read.  Seriously?  This is what I was talking about before when I said to have a healthy dose of skepticism.  Someone posted this on facebook this morning.

The first thing I did when I read that was think, "Nope, bet that didn't happen."  Second thing I did was look it up on snopes.  Sure enough, it's not true.  Pepsi has not and does not have a can with this on it.  It's also been passed around with Coke as the target instead of Pepsi.  What actually happened was that after 9-11 Dr. Pepper made a patriotic can that said, "One Nation... Indivisible" to celebrate how united our nation was after the terrorist attacks.  A couple of people complained that they took out the "under God" in between, but the company didn't do it so as not to offend anyone.  A soda can just only has so much room on it, and the focus was on "ONE nation INDIVISIBLE"... so a couple of jerks took a nice message about unity and tried to use it to divide people.  Anyway, those cans haven't been in stores for 10 years.  Why can't people just have some critical thinking skills for heck's sake?  Everyone isn't out to get you.  Take off your tin foil hat.  The world is pretty nice when you don't see everything as a conspiracy against you and your values.
