Awful-tasting Pepsi may have mouse inside
When her husband dumped out a can of Diet Pepsi that "tasted awful," Amy Denegri saw what looked like pink spaghetti spill out.
"We're not sure what it is...It's really sick," Amy said, though she suspects it may be a mouse.
According to WFTV Orlando, lab results from an FDA investigation of the incident will be available in one to two weeks.
When Pepsi learned of the incident, a spokesperson contacted the Denegri's. The can was traced to an Orlando bottling facility and a review of production logs showed "absolutely no evidence to suggest that any foreign object or substance entered the package at the time of production."
In addition, a statement was sent to WFTV Orlando, which reads in part:
"This is not the first time we have dealt with this type of claim. In every previous incident where lab testing has been conducted, the results have concluded that the specimen did not enter the package during production.
"That said, we treat all consumer claims very seriously and investigate them thoroughly. We have been in touch with the investigating authorities in this case. They are conducting laboratory tests to learn what may have happened here. We'll assist them however we can."
The Denegri's aren't planning a lawsuit. In fact, Amy's husband, Fred, is still drinking Pepsi. But he pours it into a cup first.
