    Well, Diet Pepsi's slogan used to be "You've got the right one, baby."

    This is all hypothetical given Snopes has shown report to be false anyway.

    However I have no issue with cadaver cells or aborted foetal cells being used for medical research purposes.(issues with abortion itself are a separate issue)

    Comparisons to cannibalism are just stupid.

    Putting aside the fact that the story is fake - consuming a human flavored Pepsi (as people above stated they would, I'm praying in jest), whether fetuses or not, is pretty clearly cannibalism.

    WTH? Okay I am no scientist but why do you need fetal cells for flavor enhancers?!?!? It is just like the movie I saw last year with Charlton Heston Soilet Green (sp)!!!


    we all agree that babies smell wonderful right? just think how they would taste!!!


    That was Soylent Green. And babies smell, all right, but very far from wonderful.

    actually just consuming human cells is not considered cannibalism. think about kissing. you actually consume some cells during that process and it doesnt make you a cannibal. :)

    Every baby I've ever been around. Not that I've ever actually picked one up....no.

    As a former fetus, I'm glad that I wasn't discarded and used to flavor soft drinks


    This made me shoot some Diet Coke out of my nose

    Well, I DID think it was funny...

    Trying to be funny, or trying to be offensive. Whatever. I firmly believe in using aborted fetuses and stem cells in medical research...why not use discarded parts to further medical knowledge? .

    or how about using stem cells to clone a Shakey's Pizza?

    Kissing and eating/drinking something are clearly two different animals.

    I remember my grandpa telling me that when he was a kid or when my aunts/uncles/mom were kids a soda was a treat every once in a blue moon, they drank milk, water, and iced tea (not nearly as sweet as these processed ones are nowadays)

    I follow/will follow the same philosophy when I have kids. My stomach curls thinking about how parents let kids drink soda to their hearts content.

    Reading this whilst drinking my delicious cold pepsi max......should really be more worried about the crap that goes into it, not the fact theyve done research using otherwise wasted cell lines....who cares?

    This is what my grandparents used to say about eating out, in their case this was going out for a hamburger...
    I know what you mean! I don't let my kids have soda except for rarely (a party, and even then try to stick to non-caffeinated), and my daughter's friend was over and practically snarled at me when I offered her water, milk, or even juice...I wound up giving her a soda, she' s not my kid! My daughter freaked out but she got over it! She's 10, and frankly she never got too excited over soda until she started seeing her friends drink it.
