The tests show it's true, but the question remains: how did a frog - or a toad - get into a Florida man's soda can?
Apparently a man from Ormond Beach opened the can of Pepsi, took a drink, and started gagging.
His wife shook the can, until the remains of an amphibian came out.
The FDA confirms the findings.
A spokesman for Pepsi says the company is aware of the testing, but stands by its manufacturing process.
The man is seeking legal advice to determine what to do next.
Croaka Cola
Obama Pepsi
Now available in boiling frog flavor
Didn’t we have that big McDonald’s FRAUD case with the MOUSE in the apple pie, or chicken McNuggets...?
And she had MADE IT ALL UP..?
Florida...hmm....is this SOUTH Florida..?
The man is seeking legal advice to determine what to do next................................... LOL, the trial attorneys will be there by the busload!!
Free frog! Awesome promotion. Did he kiss the frog?
Bonus!
These things happen. It was probably more common back during the days of returnable bottles. People dropped all sorts of things into empty soft drink bottles and the bottlers cleaning routine had to remove the junk.
A woman once found a mouse in a Coke bottle before the days of law suit hysteria. I once found a big, kitchen match in an orange drink bottle - before I opened the bottle.
There was the woman a couple of years ago who "found" the severed finger of a co-worker in her Wendy's Chili.
He might have a case if he gets warts.
Now you my friend, are the ultimate optimist!!
He doesn’t need an attorney, he needs to stop stuffing frogs into Pepsi cans, just because they look like 0bambi symbols. That in itself should have made him gag.
Oh, and the tease for the 11 PM newscast has been guess how much this will cost Pepsi.
Heh Heh! Noob!
We found a book of matches in a (Canadian) bottle of beer. (when we were visiting BC for the summer). We wrote a funny letter about having to ‘candle’ the bottles in the future. They must have liked it because they sent a rep out with a case of beer.
What? No video? Sorry, no sale.
In France he would have had to pay extra.
It might just be part of a new “going green” campaign or something. Sometimes, it isn’t easy being “green”. Especially when you’re gagging your guts out.
My bet is that it’s a hoax. Given the sanitary nature of bottling, about the only way the toad could have gotten into a can is if a worker at the plant put it there deliberately.
First thing I thought of was that Wendy’s gal with the severed finger in her chili.
I’ve been in plenty of food and pharmaceutical packaging plants, and I never saw one that wasn’t radically clean and careful.
I am guessing jail time for the accuser.
If you watch their production line it is impossible for this to happen
The cans are washed, rinsed under pressure, and travel through a drying air jet UPSIDE DOWN until milliseconds immediately before they are filled.
The Wendy’s deal turned out to be a hoax.
Did it look like Jesus?
Geez, what the hell happened to Bud Wise Er?
Beatcha by 1:01!
A man tried to pull off this scam about 10 years ago with a mouse and a 16 oz can of Coors. He was exposed and sent to jail.
Anyone with any familiarity of how the cans are filled at the brewery, knew instantly it was a fraud but the local TV stations repeatedly ran the picture of the Coors can’s top being cut off and the dead mouse being poured out.
The local media hated Coors because the family backed Conservative causes and was at the time anti-union. The media’s purpose was to connect the Coors logo and packaging with a disgusting image to damage the brand. The tiniest bit of fact checking would have told them this was a hoax.
Naturally no apology from the media once the lie was exposed, they got to take a free shot at Coors and that is all that mattered.
Sue em! Froggie went a courtin’
When I was in PI during my Navy years, the Corpsmen always said you should hold your bottle of San Miguel up to the light and make sure there was nothing floating in it.
I never found anything, but I heard stories about those who had.

Frogs get thirsty too!!!
He’s lucky he didn’t get the Spring Surprise Pepsi.
LMAO
Took a swig of pepsi and started gagging. Doesn't everyone do that?
Obviously this is the new 'organic' Pepsi, certified as genuine green food.
What’s worse, the frog refused to sing and dance when displayed to reporters.
Eeuuu that would be gross. I just hope he doesn’t try and sue Pepsi. One of the factors in our crumbling public morality is the desire to make a quick litigious buck. People suffer a hang nail and the first thing they want to do is sue some big corporation for millions of dollars. That is the very reason that health care costs are so high in the first place.
doh
The hell with this guy. The hell with anybody out to make a buck they didn’t earn through hard work. I am sick of all these people trying to win the lottery and cash in. Screw this guy. If it happened to me, I wouldn’t know the first thing about even getting it to the news, let alone anything else. Do you people ever wonder how these stories get to be news? Do you honestly think for one nanosecond, that you would make it to the stupid news? Screw anybody who tries to make money without earning it. I have worked for every dime I have ever had.
I thought only beer had hops.
Ah yes, I remember that one. What a great cartoon. I wonder if it’s been banished for being expoitative to animals or something. Those old Warner Brothers cartoons were just chock full of un-PCness. Guns, smoking, Mexican and French stereotypes.
“Pete!”
lol -- hops
