"Separation of church and soda". LOL!

By the way, in trying to explain away their gaffe, looks like Dr. Pepper has dug itself an even deeper hole. Their explanation states that there was room for only a limited amount of the "verbiage" from the Pledge of Allegiance.

The main definition of "verbiage" is:

"An excess of words for the purpose; wordiness."

Looks like Dr. Pepper has some more "splaining" to do!
