New York, Jan 4 (ANI): PepsiCo may have hurt its own business after it claimed that its soda Mountain Dew can turn a mouse's body into a 'jelly-like substance'.
The strange details emerged last week when the company defended itself in court against a man seeking 50, 000 dollars in damages after complaining that he found a mouse in a can of Mountain Dew in 2009.
According to the Madison Record, Ronald Ball of Wisconsin claimed that he purchased a can of the bright green, supercaffeinated citrus-flavored soda only to discover mid-sip that there was a dead rodent inside, the New York Daily reported.
He said that he had sent the mouse in a Mason jar to Pepsi but the company destroyed the evidence.
A scientist who testified on behalf of Pepsi Co said that there was no way a mouse could have made it through the bottling process intact, and that its body would have dissolved into a 'jelly-like substance'.
The soft drink giant has asked a judge for more time to prepare a motion to dismiss the lawsuit and will likely defend itself against the allegations in a Wisconsin courtroom on January 11. (ANI)

It's not unreal. A mouse somehow turned off the lid to one of the small mouthed olive oil jars in my home and drowned in it.
