DNA - India - Condom in cola: Pepsi asked to pay Rs 1 lakh damages - Daily News & Analysis: "Soft drink giant Pepsi has been ordered to pay over Rs one lakh compensation by a consumer court after a man found a condom inside a sealed bottle. Terming the case as rare with a serious bearing on the public health, the court directed Pepsico India Holdings Ltd to pay Rs one lakh towards the Consumer Legal Aid Fund and Rs 20,000 as damages to the complainant.
Complainant Sudesh Sharma, a resident of Ujhani village here, had purchased two bottles of Pepsi from a retail shop near Kashmere Gate in the Capital in 2003. He started suffering from severe dyspepsia and headache, followed by insomnia, after drinking from one of the bottles. His condition worsened over a period of time and he had to seek medical treatment.
Meanwhile, Sharma, on inspecting the bottle from which he had drunk, found dirt and other contaminants inside it. Even worse, Sharma was shocked to find a condom inside the other Pepsi bottle, which was still sealed. Staunchly denying any negligence on its part, Pepsi maintained in court that the bottles may have contained spurious products illegally marketed under its brand name."

That is weird. Water is always better rather to go with artificials. Here comes the conflict issues now.
I know when I was in NY, someone got glass pieces in their bottle before they opened it. The company apologized later. Whatever...
Scrutinize and drink.
Altogether avoid cola(s). But, even bottled water is made by the same companies following the same stringent purification process :-)))
