Al-Irsyad – the Islamic Agency for Research in Egypt has now recommended that Muslims are not to consume Pepsi Cola because it is being suspected of containing material that has been made from the intestines of pigs.
Dr. Mustofa Asyak'ah an agency member has asked for the other members of the agency to gather to discuss this problem, so that the Muslim community can receive clarity as to whether the product is haram (forbidden) or not, according to the daily Egyptian Al-Arabiyah.
Dr. Mustofa explained that the manufacturer of the drink has included a special material made from the intestines of pigs in the process of the drink's production.
"Because of this we are trying to break down of the materials used so that we might get some clarity on the issue" he said.
You are confusing Pepsi with Twinkies sir.
Pepsi, Twinkies, Fritos, the whole menu at Taco Bell. Same basic ingredients, starting with a synthetic carbon pork oil base and flavored with MSG. Soon, we can eliminate farming all together! As a side bonus, they all produce a clean burning gas as a side product!
Pig farts
