Sorry, I just couldn’t resist.

Pepsi fined over condom in bottle

Soft drinks manufacturer Pepsi has been ordered to pay 20,000 rupees ($445) in damages to a man from Delhi who found a condom in a sealed bottle.

The case was brought before the Consumer Disputes Redressal Forum in the Indian capital by Sudesh Sharma.

Pepsi denied negligence and claimed the bottles were probably fake goods.

A company representative told the court the bottles may have contained a bogus product illegally marketed under its brand name.

Mr Sharma said he purchased two bottles of Pepsi from a shop in the Kashmere Gate area of the capital in 2003.

He said he suffered severe headaches and insomnia after consuming the drink from one of the bottles and had to seek medical treatment.

Mr Sharma said he found dirt in the empty bottle and when he looked inside the other bottle, which was still sealed, he found a condom.

The Press Trust of India reported the court as saying Pepsi had failed in its duty towards its customers by failing to take action against people passing off inferior products as Pepsi.

Makes me glad I stick to filtered tap water!

Today for lunch, I had a simple meal, plus I was snacking on sunflower seeds all morning:

2 oz sunflower seeds
3 cups steamed broccoli
16 oz spring water

Today for breakfast, I had:

2 cups Cheerios
1 cup fat free soy milk
8 oz apple cider
16 oz water

For dinner, I had the same as lunch:

1 piece of pita bread
1 cup of salad (lettuce, tomato, onion)

16 oz water

Yesterday for lunch I had:

1 piece of pita bread
1 cup of salad (lettuce, tomato, onion)
2 tablespoons hummus
16 oz water

I was running a little late this morning, but I fit in:

1.5 cups flax seed crunch cereal
1.5 cups fat free soy milk
16 oz water

Tonight my wonderful fiancee Kelly made us dinner. I had:

1 large slice of homemade bread
1.5 Boca burgers
1 pickle
4 oz of mushrooms
2 tablespoons mustard
2 tablespoons ketchup

The Boca burger and mushrooms were fried up using olive oil and garlic. Then, the burger and mushrooms are mixed together with the shreaded up bread, chopped up pickle, and condiments. It’s a great meal.

This is what I had for lunch today:

1 piece of pita bread
2 tablespoons of hummus
0.5 cup black olives
0.5 teaspoon Frank’s Original Red Hot

I also warmed the pita bread in the microwave 30 seconds to make it warm and pliable.

This morning for breakfast:

2 cups rice Chex
0.5 cups fat free soy milk
16 oz water
1 apple

Last night for dinner, I made this:

15.5 oz can of chili beans
0.5 cups black olives
1 tablespoon Frank’s Original Redhot
1 piece of pita bread
16 oz water

The amount of chili beans seems high, but during cooking a lot of that weight steams out of the meal.
