Ooooh, post title #s. You are so cool.

Rather than try and sue coca cola he's selling it on eBay? That screams "Fake" to me.

No, there was a report about Snapples a few years ago with mice in them. How they get in there is unknown.

All rodents love Soda. Reason is the high sugar content. There have been reports of mice/rats chewing through the plastic lines for fountain machines in restaurants.
The mouse in this drink however most likely drowned in the Soda as it was being filled. Probably crawled into the empty bottle before it was filled. The reason I believe is because once a bottle is filled it is capped fairly quickly in the production line.
I would think that returning this to Coke would get more then selling it on Ebay. I imagine you would get some type of reward for bringing that into a Coke distributor. Reward I mean coupons for free soda or something of that nature.

Nah, you wouldn't get coupons. It'd be easier for them to just give you a box of coke.

oh, and I doubt this as well, since my kids and I know for a fact that the acid in coke would have eaten up the mouse..... and since I have someone in my house right now that used to work at the local Coke bottling factory that assures me that a mouse could not maneuver into the top of a coke bottle unnoticed.

Maybe someone was napping on the job?

It'd take a while for the coke to do much damage to that mouse. If the acidity was right it might even preserve the mouse(by killing off decomposing bacteria)

That's a terrible idea. Just get acid, why waste all the yummy flavourings and what not on smushed dead people?

ever soaked in it for 3 or 4 weeks dead and decomposing?

it can be used for tons of stuff.......even that. I just know that after a while, the mouse probably wouldn't be so "pretty", say it took 2 weeks to get from the bottling co. to the vending machine stocker, and another few days for him to put it in the machine, and then this guy buys it (maybe even the same day) and puts it on ebay for a week? besides, how long did it take him to decide to put it on there.

What, might I ask, is the pH of Coca-Cola?

I'm dead. Bacteria are decomposing me. Hell, the coke would likely slow it down by killing off the usual bacteria.

Well for one Coca Cola is crap and it is probably cheaper than Acid, easier to get than Acid avoids nasty regulations and COke loves it because they get to sell their nasty product.

actually the highway patrol here does carry coke in the trunk for that purpose. Just because you can clean with it doesn't make it harmful. I have a bottle of coke in my car to clean off my battery cables. I still drink it.

Actually maybe yes, coke rots ones teeth so maybe.
Heck her is a Science experiment for everyone, get a Chiken bone leave it in a cup of coke and watch the good times roll.
Vinegar works well for this too.;)
