Pepsi Says Mountain Dew Can Dissolve Mouse Carcasses

Pepsi Co., facing a lawsuit from a man who claims to have found a mouse in his Mountain Dew can, has an especially creative, if disgusting, defense: their soda would have dissolved a dead mouse before the man could have found it. An Illinois man sued Pepsi in 2009 after he claims he "spat out the soda to reveal a dead mouse," the Madison County Record reports. He claims he sent the mouse to Pepsi, which then "destroyed" the remains after he allowed them to test it, according to his complaint. Most shudder-worthy, however, is that Pepsi's lawyers also found experts to testify, based on the state of the remains sent to them, that "the mouse would have dissolved in the soda had it been in the can from the time of its bottling until the day the plaintiff drank it," according to the Record. (It would have become a "jelly-like substance," according to Pepsi, adds LegalNewsline.)

“a jelly-like substance “ is just disturbing to think about in my dew.

I guess this should be easy to prove.

Any freepers got a camera that can do time-lapse movie?

What more beneficial use of your time can their be other than than setting it up to watch a mouse disolve in Mountain Dew?

After ammonia, best thing to clean bugs off the windshield. Coke, Pepsi, or any soda will do.

I'd wager they're right. Any high acidity soda can easily dissolve things let in it for months on end.

Well, Mountain Dew is known to dissolve teeth. I watched a documentary on some actual hillbillies that drink a ton of Dew. Having more than two or three teeth is a rarity there.

Also worth mentioning: what do people really think, that mice are made of granite?

Do people actually read labels anymore? HFCS and brominated veggie oil? Seriously? And up to now people thought that was just fine in their soda?

SIGH.

I imagine it’s the cabonation that does it because of the carbonic acid. Any carbonated drink would do the same.
