It involves the Pepsi Company being pro-American?  I call BS

I've also seen the same story using Pepsi instead of Budweiser, neither are true.

ETA: oh this one has BOTH...I guess it's been embellished since the last time someone emailed it to me.

Ok, Ok, I should have checked snopes first. It is indeed false just as I suspected.

I knew it was too good to be true!

It just is, never question it.

The first half sounds plausible to me, I would like to think its true.

Snopes COULD be wrong you know

Unlikely.

They do eleventybillion times the research into these things than the original writers did.

no accounting for common sense anymore.
