And there you have it! It is possible to have an emotion about something.....even if you do not know that said something has actually happened.
If nutters would stop doing that very thing, the world would be a better place.
And on they go with this comic book hysteria, even though the crank group that tried to boycott Pepsi on this myth called off that boycott over a year and a half ago when the "duh" moment came that the fantasy is not the reality.
>> ...Unfortunately, there is some misinformation being circulated related to research techniques that have been used for decades by universities,
hospitals, government agencies, and private companies around the world. These claims are meant to suggest that human fetal tissue is somehow used in our research.
That is both inaccurate and something we would never do or even consider.
It also is inaccurate to suggest that tissue or cells somehow are being used as product ingredients. ThatÂ’s dangerous, unethical and against the law. Every ingredient in
every one of our products is reviewed and approved for use by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
We hope this information is helpful and reassuring. Thank you again for reaching out to us and allowing us to clarify the situation."

-- which was confirmed a year later:
>> We can assure you that PepsiCo does not conduct or fund research – including research performed by third parties – that utilizes any human tissue or cell lines derived from embryos or fetuses. Furthermore, Senomyx does not use HEK cells or any other tissues or cell lines derived from human embryos or fetuses for research performed on behalf of PepsiCo.
Our Responsible Research Statement is available on our website, under Corporate Governance:
Corporate Governance | PepsiCo.com. Any research funded by PepsiCo and conducted by Senomyx for PepsiCo must abide by this responsible research statement. << (

So even though the crank group that started this bullshit based on the science they called "the ewww factor" (their words)
called off their own myth 19 months ago, mental midgets like 2A and Bowie plow on blindly as if it were real. As noted before, some people just have no shame about embarrassing themselves. Once again, they prefer to live in comic books over reality.
Now they'll have to move on to other myths such as "Pepsi removed 'under God' from the Pledge of Allegiance", "Pepsi is owned my Mormons", "Pepsi is contaminated with AIDS", and "Pepsi can depicts 9/11 attacks" or "spells out the word 'sex'".
Be sure to tune in for that.
