a friend informed me yesterday that the well known soft drink pepsi
(sold all over the world) is indeed haraam - this is because it's
supposed to contain PEPSIN (pigs blood?).  anyone got any comments/info
relating to this?

how should we react to this kind of information ? ie. how seriously
should we view it ? (assuming we want to behave as _good_ muslims) it has
to be noted that many such reports are always apparent.

could it be the case that this is indeed true that pepsi produces a
halaal version for muslim countries (eg. Pakistan) ?
