Investigations have revealed that the false Pepsi HIV story is not about Nigeria but the fake UK Metropolitan Police statement claiming the soft drink contained infected blood.
This has since been denied by the UK Metropolitan Police and there was no Sky News report on this false story.
Medical experts have assured Nigerians that there is no need to worry. Reason: The story is not true, and the HIV virus cannot survive up to five minutes outside the human body.
According to a report first published by The Sun UK, Pepsi was hit by a sick hoax after a fake Met police statement was shared online claiming that the fizzy drink contained HIV-infected blood.
The message – falsely attributed to Met Police– claimed that Pepsi bottles in the United Kingdom (UK) were contaminated.It began recirculating on social media in Britain after previously appearing in a different format in India.
They alleged that contaminated bottles were in the UK, and stated that the warning comes from the Metropolitan Police.The message also said that the incident was“shown on Sky News”.
The origins of the hoax go back to 2011, where a version of it appeared on Indian social networking sites and in email chains.
Similar to the British hoax, the original claimed to be a message from the police, but referred to a range of Pepsi products and stated that the incident would be reported on NDTV.
In a statement, Met police said: “This is being treated as a hoax”, adding “the allegation is unsubstantiated.”

I am indeed very happy for my life; I never thought that I will live on
ReplyDeleteearth before the year runs out. I have been suffering from a deadly disease
(HIV/AIDS) for the past 2 years now; I had spent a lot of money going from
one places to another, from churches to churches, hospitals have been my
every day residence. Constant checks up have been my hobby but until this
faithful day, I was searching through the internet, I saw a testimony on
how a spell caster helped someone in curing his Molluscum Contagiosum
disease, quickly I copied his email which is bantespelltemple@gmail.com
I spoke to him, he asked me to do some
certain things which I did, he told me that he is going to cast the spell
which he did, then he asked me to go for medical checkup after 45 minutes
of casting the spell, I was free from the deadly disease, he only asked me
to post the testimony through the whole world, faithfully am doing it now,
please brothers and sisters, he is great, I owe him my life, if you are
having a similar problem just email him on bantespelltemple@gmail.com call/whatsapp number +2347059073543
