Odds and Ends: Mouse In Your Pop and Steve Job Action Figure

Here's a couple odds and ends type thing for you to check out

.

Did you hear about the guy who claims to have found a mouse in his soda? Apparently the guy claims that his soda tasted funny so he cut the top of the can off and found a mouse in it. Ok so not a big deal probably a hoax and even if it wasn't I mean how often could a mouse wind up in a soda can. Well, Pepsi has an answer to the accusation (which is in court). They claim that you would never know if there was a mouse in your pop cause it would dissolve before you ever opened the can. Three things come to mind when I read this... 1. How the heck do they know that...do mice wind up in soda regularly? 2. What the heck is in pop that would dissolve a mouse...and we drink that stuff? 3. Man am I glad I don't drink pop...oh man I wonder if stuff dissolves in milk....

Everyone's Favorite Drink Might Be Slowly Killing Us

Apparently 10% of sodas in the US (most of them citrus) contain a chemical called BVO. This chemical is "also added to polystyrene foam cushions in furniture and plastics in electronics because BVO can slow down the chemical reactions that cause a fire." Not only that but it is banned in Europe and Japan. Really? Well at least we don't have to worry about self-combustion. Check out more in this article from Gizmodo.
