This came from my soda can

I was drinking Orange Fanta and I felt something hit my tongue. I quickly grabbed a cup and spit it in there this is what came out?

Whatever this is, it’s a blessing in disguise because now I want nothing to do with canned sodas…

Report it to the company. They will probably ask for that back, do an investigation, and later send you a letter stating it would be impossible for this to have been introduced during their canning process, but here, have some coupons.

Sorry, but those don't look very good. They look dry and crumbly.

Maybe the filling is really good, but in my experience, it never is.

OTOH, I'm American, so I'm a bit jaded.

2

u/milkymoocowmoo 1d ago

They're a little crumbly, but not in any way stodgy. The biscuit part has a mild flavour of a syrup that may not have an American equivalent, which is derived from cane sugar and is similar to honey.

They're not bad, but they're no Kingston.

I'm not dishonest about anything, but I've found that with most fast food places they'll give you good deals/coupons for a mistake on mobile orders. Most recently Taco Bell gave me a double stacked taco instead of a chalupa. Fairly similar items (I mean, most are at Taco Bell lol) but I had only gone to Taco Bell in the first place because I was craving a chalupa (and for the Baja Blast in the combo but they were out so I had to get regular). So I reported that I got the wrong item in the app and they gave me a $10 off coupon. Which was more than I had spent on the whole meal lol.

Though you can't complain too often or they'll say that they've given you too many deals. I actually had to start avoiding a certain Burger King because they'd often get my order wrong and I reported them "too much".

That happened with the mountain dew mouse. Guy said there was a mouse in his mountain dew and sewed the company. Instead of trying to settle the case quietly or denying it outright, they brought in a scientist that claimed it was impossible for the mouse to be in the soda because by the time he would have gotten it the animal would have been dissolved into a "jelly-like substance"

Exact same thing happened to my mom when she found a whole, massive cockroach in her Pepsi a few decades ago—I say whole, but it had been broken down a bit by the acidity ofc. To this day, she refuses to drink from a can, and will always pour her soda into clear glasses first .

All these companies ever do is subtly blame the consumer, like “You must have left the Pepsi can open and unattended at some point. Now, here; drink more Pepsi”.

30

u/Hwicc101 1d ago

Their excuse is plausible without evidence that the contaminant was in the container before opening, and it would be insane from a legal perspective to take the blame for something that cannot be proven to be their responsibility.

I would not in a million lifetimes defend a corporation trying to scam a customer or deflect responsibility, but their response to these sorts of things is defensible.

The fact of the matter is that food and drink products are not made and packaged in a sterile vacuum, and as a consumer, if you want to be sure there is no visible contamination, do as your mother does and remove the product from the packaging and give it an ocular pat down at the very least before putting it in your body.

This goes double for restaurants which I believe are much more prone to having something inedible end up in the product than things coming from a packaging/bottling facility.

u/Alaira314 1d ago

Their excuse is plausible without evidence that the contaminant was in the container before opening, and it would be insane from a legal perspective to take the blame for something that cannot be proven to be their responsibility.

Exactly. I've found bugs in my drinks before. But I know they fell in when I wasn't paying attention, because every time I recognized them as bug types familiar to me, rather than some foreign thing from elsewhere. Nobody has their eyes on their drink 100% of the time, and it only takes a couple seconds for a thirsty bug to fly over, try to drink, and fall in instead when you pick the can up to take another drink.

If I found a roach in my drink, my first thought would be "holy fuck my house has roaches". Unless it was a situation like it couldn't fit through the hole or something, or it had clearly been there for longer than I'd had the can open.

2

u/PastelDisaster 1d ago

Makes sense from a legal perspective; they’re not going to take the blame unless there’s undeniable evidence that the roach came from their facility, which my mom couldn’t prove over the phone. It obviously came from them of course, since German cockroaches are very rare where we live—I’ve personally never seen one in my life—and it had clearly been there for days.

But yeah; my parents weren’t really expecting them to accept blame as that opens them up to more legal issues. They just gotta give a vague “sorry you feel that way”

The bitter ones are from the oil in the peanut going rancid. I don’t think I’ve ever experienced a fruity one, but that’s got to be some other phenomena that I’m not familiar with.

I broke a tooth (so painful) when I bit into a dried cherry, and it cost me $7000 to have the tooth pulled, an implant installed, and (pretty soon!) a cap put over the implant. That’s a lot for a dried cherry. Now I only eat dried apricots and I tear them apart before I snack. Sad.

Okay. A lot of us are aware of the FDA allowances for "contaminants"-- for some things, like cocaine, the allowance is none. The allowance for bugs and/or bug parts is a non-zero number.

I'm going to get a bit political--

Now, the allowances may or may not be adjusted. Personally, I believe the FDA rules and regulations are low priority so I expect minimal adjustments. No talk, no rumors as of yet.

However, a butt load of FDA people got fired. So, inspection & enforcement is going to be "less". There may be true blue companies that continue to be the picture of excellence. I expect there are slimy mid-level managers that will try to cut corners and ship less excellence in the coming near future.

Prepare to eat more bugs and loose machinery parts and mold and and and.

At the bottom of this post are allowable limits of contaminates allowed in some different foods before "action" has to be taken to clean them up.

Looks like undisolved base/syrup from the preparation process before they add Co2 and then can it.

It can happen if the juice sat in the cold storage for a bit longer before being pumped. Usually there is no filters or sleeve between storage and carbo/caning, to avoid capturing air.

Still, reporting it to the manufacturer directly will likely get you coupons, generous replacement or even merch. Just send them pics of the code on the bottom of the can, maybe even interior in case there is more.

if it makes you feel better there are far worse things that you don't know about because most soda's dissolve them before making it to you.

Entomologist here.

To everyone who thinks this is a bug- It isn’t.

It doesn’t resemble any obvious insect, it doesn’t have segmentation, there’s no distinct body parts, etc etc.

0% chance this is an insect.

Not an entomologist, but my guess would not be "dissolved" cockroach, as many are saying, but rather a cockroach exoskeleton that found it's way into your can of soda, after being shed by one of what I must assume is many thousands of cockroaches that live in the Fanta factory.

Looks a bit like a partially-dissolved gelcap. OP, did you swallow a med shortly before drinking the soda?

It is your responsibility now, you must raise it as your own. Feed and train it with the wisdom of the elders, and the strength of those before you.

Oh, this is a Soda Bug, they're responsible for making the flavour but they usually break down all the way so their flavour is absorbed. Must've just been like soda water in there, sorry to hear.

A little bit longer and it would’ve completely disintegrated

Honestly, looks like some crystalized soda syrup that started to disolve again.

The Mythbusters even managed to confirm two things related to this:

  1. The average can of soda WILL fully disolve a rat.
  2. The average can of soda likely has rat pee on it from where it was warehoused.

u/BubbieQuinn89 1d ago

Agree with most, but that is not soda syrup…lol

u/360_face_palm 1d ago

report it to the company and u prolly get some free soda. But it's very likely just some solidified part of the syrup flavouring they use would be by my guess.

This is the egg sack of a German roach. Source: I grew up poor and we had roaches.

Your soda is making dabs ??? Or someone in the soda factory is smoking dabs and dropped some in your soda ???

I've never been more glad that I switched to water, I'd be having nightmares after seeing this post consumption

But at least it looks like a gummy bear, not something from Alien Predator
