Muslims throughout the Islamic world are now being advised not to consume Pepsi Cola because it contains the parts of pigs used it it's production ~
Begin my translation ~
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.
I guess that means this story was started by Karl Rove! (sarc)
Didya know Wal-mart sells Pepsi?
(Running-hiding. ducking)LOL!
THANK YOU Expatguy for translating this for us.
I really appreciate it.
Oh boy...I can't wait till it breaks in Afghanistan and Somalia a week or two or three from now or how ever long it takes those barefoot runners to get around over there. More riots, more flag burnings and more deaths of innocent ignorants.
Who do I sue?
You haven't been conspiring with Helen Thomas, have you??!! Say it ain't so, Laz!
Helen Thomas and I are going steady.
We're to be married in July.
I think the moose-limb world should also be warned against using any type of petroleum product, because it was probably transported in a tanker that used pig blood as a fire retardant. LOL
A good steam iron will take care of that.
We got FReepers all over the globe doing the same.
Say, she's hot.
"I thought it said Pig Farts at first read. What a relief"
that's where the bubbles come from
Here are the ingredients:
Contains: Carbonated water, high fructose corn syrup and/or sugar, caramel color, phosphoric acid, caffeine, citric acid and natural flavors.
Which one comes from pig intestines?
Maybe the natural flavourings are like natural pig flavourings.
That's gotta be worse than bacon-flavored Pepsi Light!
Grab yourself a can of pork soda
You’ll be feeling just fine
Ain’t nothin’ quite like sittin’ ’round the house
Swillin’ down them cans of swine
Primus...

Didn't this same thing happen to Coca Cola many, many years back? It is fuzzy in my mind. Can someone please help? Thank you.
I stopped drinking Pepsi when Wacko Jackson became their darling in the "Pepsi Generation" advertisements.
I am no Pepsi fan and hope they get what they deserve in the latest middle finger episode to my country. I am really rankled.
"love is blind." It sure is. Does your seeing eye dog agree? Or does she/he think it is another dog?
(Sorry. I couldn't help it. The devil made me do it.)
