A Disgusting Discovery in a Pepsi Bottle

Calling the case "rare," but one that has a serious bearing on public health, a three-judge panel in New Delphi, India has ordered PepsiCo to pay financial damages to a man who found a condom inside a Pepsi bottle.

Oh gross! Find out what one young scientist found in fast food ice. Read this and you may never eat ice from a restaurant again.

The Associated Press and the Press Trust of India report that Sudesh Sharma, a resident of Ujhani village near New Delhi, fell sick after consuming one of two Pepsis he purchased in 2003. After drinking the one Pepsi, he said he found dirt and contaminants in the bottle. The condom was found in the other, unopened bottle of Pepsi which he did not drink.

THIS is why you passionately prefer Coke or Pepsi. Yes, there's a reason.

PepsiCo has denied negligence, insisting the bottle was a fake. Despite that, the judge ordered the company to pay 100,000 rupees ($2,200) to a legal aid fund for consumers and 20,000 rupees ($450) to the complainant. "This case is an eye-opener for others who are engaged in manufacturing soft drinks and are required to maintain the prescribed standards of purity in (the) public interest," the three-judge panel ruled.
