ABSOLUTELY SICK!!
Not only that, what about all the CO2 they release into the atmosphere?
WHAT DO YOU THINK THOSE “CARBONATED” BUBBLES ARE????
(I never drink coke or pepsi, so dont want anyone else to drink them either)
I thought the “Monster” beverages were a fright — but this is truly macabre. Is there any reason these flavoring chemicals are being produced THIS way, other than to prove that they can be? Pepsi should saw off Senomyx pronto.
Ping.
Pepsi cares only about appeasing gays and selling lots of soda to minorities. The biggest joke is that many employees are conversative and won’t like this at all.
Indra Nooyi is selling it down the river.
Let her know:
I guess whatever returns the greatest value to the share holder is fine... /sarc
I vaguely remember reading that Pepsi has stopped doing business with the company. I may be wrong.
In the meantime, what is their rival Coke doing? Coke tastes lousier than Pepsi in the diet version, but the full calorie version of Coke beats the pants off of Pepsi.
This sounds upon re-reading like Pepsi is using these, urgh, aborted fetal kidney cells to “taste test” their prototype diet sodas. Why this is supposed to work better than conventional live human taste testers is beyond me.
But if Pepsi wants to “sell lots of soda to minorities” (heck, they were known as an Afro-American drink several decades ago in many cities) why should that be skin off of any of our noses?
> “Senomyx which uses HEK-293 (human embryonic kidney cells)
> to produce flavor enhancers for Pepsi beverages.”
God have mercy.
If this is true, bad things are gonna happen.
Vaccine makers do the same thing. They use cloned human embryonic lung cells to create their concoctions. I lost my link to the list when my computer crash, but as of 2009 there were no chicken pox vaccines or MMR (I’m not 100% positive) vaccines without these cells.
I haven’t drank them in years, and warn everyone I know, especially Pepsi who also have a political agenda.
My point is that Pepsi does not care if their supplier is using aborted fetal cells in testings. It only cares about selling its product and being gay-friendly. Everything else goes to the wayside.
No Pepsi for me today, thanks.
Heck, I started boycotting Pepsi a few years ago over their relationship with Obama during his campaign.
“....using aborted fetal cells in the research and development of artificial flavor enhancers.”
.
Humanity has reached its end point — we have finally started to eat our own.
I’m hearing conflicting reports — that Pepsi quietly stopped the macabre “taste tests” when consumer uproar reached a critical mass, or that the tests are kept up to this day and this is now a Rip Van Winkle alarm that surfaces periodically from writings of long ago.
I thought it was tom cat pee (duck’n & runn’n)
