Pepsi HIV Hoax Circulates; Pepsi Claims its Untrue
An SMS has been circulating that Pepsi products are contaminated with HIV but Permanis Sandilands Sdn Bhd has clarified that this is a hoax.
Its marketing vice-president Hemalatha Ragavan said there was no truth to it.
She urged people not to believe such claims.
"This SMS started circulating in India in July and even there, no one believed it," she said yesterday.
The SMS reads:

Hemalatha said Pepsi products were produced according to the strictest safety standards and were safe for consumption.
"It is scientifically proven that HIV cannot be transmitted via food or drinks anyway," she said, adding that different versions of the same rumour had made the rounds before.
However, she said those rumours involved other companies' food items.

Soon to be a major motion picture -- a no-holds-barred account of the most notorious literary hoax of the twentieth century, written by the perpetrator himself Before Oprah and TheSmokingGun.com had ever heard of James Frey, there was Clifford Irving. In 1971, he burst onto the literary scene, claiming to have been granted the right to pen the authorized biography of the famously reclusive icon Howard Hughes. Forged documents seemed to bear out his claims, and McGraw-Hill awarded him a contract for the then-enormous sum of 0,000. When Hughes himself emerged from seclusion to denounce Irving as a charlatan, McGraw-Hill stood by their author. It wasn't until Hughes filed suit, and Swiss bank officials got involved, that Irving finally confessed. The Hoax, first published in 1981, is Irving's explosive account of his own misdeeds -- and the inspiration for a soon-to-be released movie starring Richard Gere.
