pepsi
The special was titled something to the effect of 'dragons are real' (not sure on the full actual name but something close to that) She had missed the beginning, and apparently all the parts within it , or the end..... that it had stated that this was theory, ifs, and possibilities... but as a matter of artistic styling they do present it as real and fact...
She was very admit on the 'fact' that they had found a 'real' dragon frozen in ice. that there was 100% proof of them now. They had dna and all or something like that... (kind of like them finding the woolly mammoths) she and my brother went on about it at a family dinner... and though Gary and I told them we saw the same special and it was not real, and that they even say that in places of the special she still went on. We also tried to point out that something that big would have maid the main stream news long before a special would have been made. And a lot of people would be paying at least a little more attention to something like that. (A side note: We have our theories on dragons and do believe in there existence in some form, we were not mocking or putting down her for believing in them... just trying to let her know what the special was actually about.)
Anyhow... so I checked my hotmail today which I only do once every few days or so. Now she rarely emails me to begin with... but what to I find but a forward.... how annoying.... I read it anyhow though cause it came from her.... and after reading it I could do nothing but shake my head in amazement that she would send this to me based solely alone on the fact that she KNOWS I am of pagan beliefs. Secondly this was a rumor back in 2002-2004 and proved untrue... and simply based upon a dr. pepper can which was true but misconstrued by some hoaxer to get christians in an up rise about it.
The first is the link to the hoax on about.com , the second is to the actual company and can picture.... and the third link is to the top hoax list for 2004... (I had to giggle at the ups one hehehehe...) and last below is the email she sent me....

Subject: DON'T BUY PEPSI IN THE NEW CAN!
Don't buy Pepsi in the new can. Pepsi has a new "patriotic" can coming out with pictures of the EmpireStateBuilding, and the Pledge of Allegiance on them. However, Pepsi left out two little words on the pledge, "Under God." Pepsi said they didn't want to offend anyone.
In that case, we don't want to offend anyone at the Pepsi corporate office, either! So if we don't buy any Pepsi product, they will not be offended when they don't receive our money that has the words "In God We Trust" on it.
HOW FAST CAN YOU FORWARD THIS ONE?
Just to be cute I do have a suggestion to make on the debate of leaving out 'in god we trust' or 'under god' in various government and patriotic things that might settle things for almost all religions involved.... how about we let them leave it in, but have them add the letter S... making it 'in gods we trust' or 'under the gods'... hehehehe... just a thought.... I would even be willing to say add these ( ) to it making it 'in god(s) we trust' and so on.... oh I amuse myself...
