I think some pissed off worker might have stuck it in while it was being bottled.(Or it might be a conspiracy ..;-))

Hey .. Wait a second. Isn't this a cool idea? Open the bottle and a straw pops out. Re-defining 'ready-to-drink'. :)

If the bottle is still sealed, don't open it cos once you open it, there won't be any grounds for a complaint cos the company will say that u might have put the straw later in it.
And the court may/may not consider the audio/visual proofs given by a consumer unless given/taken by a court/govt. appointed photographer, etc..

Hey man , why don't you go and hand out this bottle to coca cola company, am sure they will take much better steps against the pepsi :D

Nope, they won't be able to. Pepse will say they (Coca Cola or others) might have sabotaged/staged it.

Sure is a good idea. But what about the quality or taste of drink that might get affected by a plastic (or any other material) straw?

they saved you the hassle of asking for a straw didn't they? You drink with a straw dont you? ;-)

u can take them to court and stuff, but u'll end up wasting a lot of time and money without any outcome. i advise u to keep it in ur fridge and show it to visitors to amuse them :)

also, u can shoot off a letter to the company threatening about taking them to court etc. they might apologise and make up by giving u lifetime supply of unlimited drinks. wow!

oh, they won't do that. at max they can run down his claims, but suing him back... nah! that's not gonna happen
