| [slm] That definition of p.e.p.s.i. is a hoax as I discovered a long time ago. Pepsi Cola was founded in the late 1800s. The State of Israel didn't even come into existence until the mid-1900s! Muslims should refrain from spreading rumors before verifying them. |

| Posted by Caraj. Hope this helps. I am assuming the pepsi name comes from pepsin whatever that is. Please folks, research something, do a web search and study for a few minutes. Don't believe everything you hear. Salaam The History of Pepsi Cola Caleb Bradham More of This Feature • History of Pop Timeline of the entire history of soft drinks. • Introduction to Pop - The History of Soft Drinks Pepsi Cola on the Web • Pepsi World The official Pepsi Cola website. • Pepsi Cola Can Display Early Pepsi cone top cans and an early bottle. • PepsiCo Headquarters The latest business reports and Pepsi Cola press releases. • The Pepsi Store Located on the site of Caleb Bradham's original pharmacy. By Mary Bellis Caleb Bradham of New Bern, North Carolina was a pharmacist. Like many pharmacists at the turn of the century he had a soda fountain in his drugstore, where he served his customers refreshing drinks, that he created himself. His most popular beverage was something he called "Brad's drink" made of carbonated water, sugar, vanilla, rare oils, pepsin and cola nuts. "Brad's drink", created in the summer of 1898, was later renamed Pepsi Cola after the pepsin and cola nuts used in the recipe. The name was trademarked on June 16th, 1903. After seventeen years of suceess, Caleb Bradham lost Pepsi Cola He had gambled on the stock market, he believed sugar prices would raise but they fell instead. Pepsi Cola went bankrupt in 1923. In 1931, Pepsi Cola was bought by the Loft Candy Company Loft president, Charles G. Guth reformulated the popular soft drink. In 1940, history was made when the first advertising jingle was broadcast nationally. The jingle was "Nickel Nickel" an advertisement for Pepsi Cola that refered to the pepsi price and the quantity for the price. "Nickel Nickel" became a hit record and was recorded into 55 languages. In 1964, Diet Pepsi was introduced. Next |

| UGGGGGGGGGGGG, after this web search I may never drink Pepsi again Not for any rumors but the ingredients sound awful. Here is what a web search of pepsin came up with. This makes no sense to me. From Caraj pepsin, enzyme produced in the mucosal lining of the stomach that acts to degrade protein. Pepsin is one of three principal protein-degrading, or proteolytic, enzymes in the digestive system, the other two being chymotrypsin and trypsin. The three enzymes were among the first to be isolated in crystalline form. During the process of digestion, these enzymes, each of which is particularly effective in severing links between particular types of amino acids, collaborate to break down dietary proteins to their components, i.e., peptides and amino acids, which can be readily absorbed by the intestinal lining. In the laboratory studies pepsin is most efficient in cleaving bonds involving the aromatic amino acids, phenylalanine, tryptophan, and tyrosine. Pepsin is synthesized in an inactive form by the stomach lining; hydrochloric acid, also produced by the gastric mucosa, is necessary to convert the inactive enzyme and to maintain the optimum acidity (pH 1–3) for pepsin function. Pepsin and other proteolytic enzymes are used in the laboratory analysis of various proteins; pepsin is also used in the preparation of cheese and other protein-containing foods. |

| [slm] I wasnt trying to spread any rumors. Astagfirullah. I had heard this from my uncle and many people also say this. My intention was truly to get more info from people on this board whethr this is true or not (thats why i had the questionmark symbol). I went bak and read my post and I understand why one might have misunderstood 'since i said no more of these, huh? but it was truly meant as a question. ANyway here is some info I found. I couldnt completely understand what this meant? But after some research it seems people are not saying this completely blindly. I think once they were trying to support ISrael? [i][color=Blue][ In contrast Pepsi abided by the Arab League boycott of Israel which ended in May 1991, after 1992 Pepsi is also trading in Israel - see [2] ] [2] http://www.snopes2.com/cokelore/israel.htm Prior to 1992, Pepsi had backed the other horse, choosing to service the lucrative Coke-less Arab markets in the boycott days. For its decision to stay out of Israel (and thus itself avoid being placed on the Arab League's blacklist), Pepsi faced continued criticism in the United States. In certain circles it was considered politically incorrect to be seen drinking Pepsi. The Anti-Defamation League of the B'nai B'rith investigated claims that Pepsi was participating in the boycott of Israel. U.S. law prohibited American companies from taking part in this boycott, but the law was vague, and outright violations were hard to pin down. Nothing ever came of the investigations, and Pepsi was never placed on the American government's list of violators. [/color][/i] I got this info from http://www.inminds.com/ |

| [slm] [i]Pepsi Cola Pepsi admitted over the phone on July 8, 1999 that their products DO contain alcohol. Here is what Pepsi said: "The oils that they use to make pepsi have minute traces of alcohol which combined make up a percentage of alcohol" - Pepsi (July 8, 1999 4:00 pm Eastern Standard Time) If you would like to contact Pepsi yourself, please call 1-800-433-2652. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Coca-Cola I got hold of a human at Coke. I told him I wasn't looking for a lawsuit, I wasn't looking for "secret ingredients" I wasn't looking for any ingredient names. Here's what he said. Here at Coke we comply with all government regulations and there is no alcohol in our products whatsoever. No fermentation takes place. Even in countries where Islam is the main religion we comply with all of their regulations. I said "Does this mean that you have made a conscious desision that all of your ingredients even those flavorings which usually contain small amounts of alcohol, you use only ingredients which are alcohol free, all of the time, everywhere, without exception?" He said " That is correct" I said, "So you use ALL ALCOHOL FREE ingredients, even your flavoring oils..." he said "That is Correct. I understand what you are saying. You are not looking for ingredients, you are a Muslim and you need to know if there are minute traces of alcohol, any amount." I said "Yes thats correct" He said "No, there is no way there could be any alcohol in our products" However from Pepsi, I was told the same thing. Pepsi uses oils, such as Vanilla Extract, which contain small amounts of alcohol in them. He also said that years ago there was cocaine in Coke, but that was before cocaine was illegal. When it became illegal they had to take all of the cocaine out of Coca Cola products. And that today there is no traces of Cocaine whatsoever in there products. If anyone wants to check this out, Pepsi 1(800)433-2652 Coke 1(800) 438-2653 One bit of advice, Coca Cola is VERY secretive about their products. They are mostly robots trained to say a few sentences, make sure you tell them you are not looking for ingredient names, or blame, or lawsuits. Let them know it is for religious reasons and that is all. I had to call back a few times before I could get someone to really talk to me... Safiyah Johnson FiAmanilah@aol.com -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I, Asma Rice (TheMuslimWoman@aol.com), also called Coca-Cola again and finally got someone to talk. I was told there Coca-Cola products do not contain ANY alcohol in their products ... not even in the flavoring. A written document is being forwarded to me within 10-14 days, Insha-Allah. I called on July 9, 1999. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- July 23, 1999 ... the Coca-Cola letter arrives! The letter dated July 9, 1999 reads as follows (official letter is with me, SisterAsma@TheMuslimWoman.com): Dear Ms. Rice Thank you for contacting us. We appreciate this opportunity to provide information about the ingredients in our soft drinks. In the manufacture of Coca-Cola products, alcohol is not ADDED as an ingredient and no fermentation takes place. The ingredients and manufacturing process used in the production of our products are rigorously regulated by government and health authorities in nearly 200 countries that have consistanly RECOGNIZED our products as nonalcoholic. As an aside, you may be interested to know that alcohol occurs extensively in nature. A scientific review has shown that the majority of food and drink products, both natural and manufactured, MAY contain SMALL amounts of alcohol. Such products include fruits, juices, vegetables, breads, cheeses, fishes, poultry, beef, and even honey. The unavoidable presence of TRACES of alcohol in NATURAL foods is well known to food authorities and is taken into consideration when establishing food standards. Additionally, Saudi Arabia has a standard for the testing of soft drinks (Standard No. 100 1398 H published by the Saudi Arabian Standards Organization). Use of this method shows our soft drinks to be FREE from alcohol. I hope this information is helpful. Thank you for your interest in the products of The Coca-Cola Company. Sincerely, Kathy Daly Consumer Affairs Specialist [/i] source: http://www.themuslimwoman.com/hertongue/PepsiCoke.htm |
