A Taste of Wellness for Savoury and Snacks
Givaudan
According to the New York Daily News, PepsiCo’s witness added that the mouse would have dissolved into a jelly-like substance instead.
Wisconsin man Ronald Ball claimed he found the mouse in the vivid green soda after taking a sip of the drink bought from a vending machine in 2009, and is seeking damages of $50,000.
According to the Madison Record, Ball claimed he sent the mouse to Pepsi, but that the company then destroyed the evidence. The firm denies Ball’s claims, and is moving to have the case dismissed.
'Unleash the beast'
In April last year, 19-year-old Iowa man Vitaliy Sulzhik claimed to have found a dead mouse in a can of Monster Energy Drink (which was somewhat ironic, given the firm's slogan (above), and his lawyer sent the product to MDE Forensic Engineering Consulting and Laboratories.
The Seattle lab cut open the can and took photos (one is pictured), and conducted forensic tests on Sulzhik’s behalf; he later filed a product liability suit against PepsiCo.

UUUUGGHHhhhh!!!
Back in the mid 80's, a friend and I where working on a stage set at our church and we took some snacks and a six pack of mini soda's to sustain our long day. The first can of soda was fine. Upon opening the second can and taking a swig, something was not right...so we poured it out. Then this goopey blob seeped out. We examined the other cans and found they didn't all have the same amount of fluid in each. We opened and poured out each can. All had a very similar little blob of goo. GROSS!!! I'm gagging just thinking of the possibility that it was a RODENT!!! BLAH BLAAAH HURL!!!

What is the drink made off if it can dissolve mice???
"PepsiCo’s witness added that the mouse would have dissolved into a jelly-like substance instead."
So what would have dissolved it? If it's the drink then why are people drinking it?

Canned Mouse
If we check the canning process we will see that there is no chance for a mouse to get into the can during the bottling procedure. So it is more probable that the mouse entered the can right after the can was opened.
