It is more shocking to know that this is even allowed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Butero Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 I am glad to hear this. I stopped buying Pepsi products when I found out what they were doing, in spite of the fact that I prefer their Throwback drinks to those with high fructose corn sweetner.

All the pro life people stood up and boycotted it-thankfully, though a bit to late, and they came out and said that they were definetly not going to do it. Im glad that their no longer doing it and arnt planning on it again, but its to bad they had to do it in the first place, and that it was done before people caught on to it.
