Do The Ewww of the Day: Defending itself against a lawsuit that claims a Mountain Dew can contained a dead mouse, PepsiCo issued a motion to dismiss on the grounds that there is no way that happened because “the mouse would have dissolved in the soda” long before consumption.
A man in Illinois claims he sent the mouse in to Pepsi for testing, but the company destroyed the evidence. Pepsi countered by citing expert testimony that says any mouse caught inside a can would have transformed into a “jelly-like substance” somewhere between bottling and the plaintiff’s purchase of the beverage.
Sure, PepsiCo might win the case, but will it matter when there’s no one around willing to drink Mouse Jelly Soda?
