9/11 images on Diet Pepsi Cans in Afghanistan

There are no coincidences in life. The graphic image on the side of Diet Pepsi cans being served to American troops in Afghanistan bears more than a passing resemblance to the 9/11 terror attacks on the Twin Towers, with smoke coming out the top of one of the towers and a plane flying above.

As much as I try to avoid using Geoge Soros-funded SNOPES for verification, I checked anyway, figuring for sure it would be listed as a hoax there.  But it isn’t. Snopes gave it a ‘MIXED’ rating which means it could be true and definitely isn’t a hoax. Snopes confirms that the photograph is a genuine picture of a can of Diet Pepsi manufactured in Dubai by Pepsi Arabia (available, among other markets, to US troops serving in Afghanistan). Snopes sees a passing resemblance to the 9/11 attacks, and isn’t sure it represents some international disrespect on the part of Pepsi Arabia. Snopes chooses to see it as a generic representation of a big city with two tall towers and a plane that just happens to be flying near them. 
You can decide for yourself. I see it as another Muslim triumphal symbol, shoved in the faces of Americans. Totally intentional.  What do you see?  

The STORY: (H/T CO) So yesterday I was in the chow hall on my Forward Operating Base here in Afghanistan, and, as usual, I grabbed a diet cola to go with my meal. The Diet Pepsi served in our chow hall is not from the United States. It is manufactured in Dubai by Pepsi Arabia and says so right on the can.Yesterday, for some odd reason I looked–I mean I really LOOKED–at the subtle “clip art” on the background of the can.And I did a double take. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing… I examined the can for several minutes while my food grew cold, wondering if my eyes were deceiving me.

But there was no getting around it. To either side of the Pepsi logo, there was an image of a jet airliner over tall buildings. Looking at the image, I couldn’t help but think it alluded to 9/11.Three other soldiers were sitting with me at my table. One of the other soldiers asked what I was looking at so hard. Instead of answering, I handed him the can and said, “Look at the artwork on this can. Do you see what I see?”

He looked. His eyes grew wide. He turned the can from side to side. The other soldiers at the table looked, too. None of us said anything. The phrase “9/11″ never passed from our lips. We could LOOK at each other and understand we all saw the same thing, a “sneaky allusion to 9/11.”

    That is DEFINETLY an artistic rendering of the twin towers and an airplane flying within the vicinity of it if not about to bank on the side of it! Why did they do this? you have the smoke on the tops and the bridge that goes into NYC also, that is none other than NYC! Why would they do something like that for?

    My take on that, is that it is mocking the world trade center going down. And the islamic ”defeat” in progress now on going towards the USA. How could it mean anything else. of all the pictures they could put on there they chose that one to put on?

  2. poptoy says:

    I WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANYTHING FROM THE PEPSI CORPORATION EVER AGAIN.

  3. randy63ism says:

    I never saw those in Iraq, but then again, I’m a Mountain Dew drinker and judging from that picture, I don’t think it is a coincidence. Perhaps we have found a new type of jihad,
    the psych jihad. Being served to servicemembers over there. Chilling isn’t it?

  4. ShamelessSharia says:

    How about a new American Pepsi can with graphics of a big black dog urinating over a mosque?

  5. Susan Geary says:

    Down with Pepsi Corporation, shame on them..

  6. Mary says:

    If Pepsi allows Pepsi Arabia to use these cans, we should mount an all-out boycott of Pepsi. If there’s even any doubt about what those images represent, those cans should all be destroyed NOW.

  7. Mohoe says:

    Google Search Dubai Images. There’s your answer. Its their on their can. Stop over reacting.

  8. 7C Boots says:

    Shaking my head in disbelief. Pepsi tastes like islam, yuk.

  9. GrouchyFogie says:

    Yes, Randy,,,, it IS chilling,,, And note that it is also a POSITIVE REINFORCEMENT OF JIHAD, from the mozlem perspective~! They may be stupid as donkeys, but they’re not totally dumb, either~!

    Be prepared for more of this crap,,, and I have to agree with “POPTOY”,,, no more pepsi for me~!

  10. Ken.T. Viet Vet. says:

    Can’t wait to hear the “Spin Doctors” on this one! That is a total insult to ALL our Troops in and out of country. I vote to bring them home and let these rag heads fight it out amongst them selves. When it is all said and done the only ones who will and are benefiting from this stuff up are the arms manufacturers and the oil companies. As for the war on Terror that is bull shit. That saying is just a political grab to make it acceptable for the citizens to fight their war for them. How can a Home Grown Industry permit this type of crap to be marketed?
    Any Manager of any quality would see what the rest of us have seen. I for one will NOT have Pepsi on my property again after this.

  11. vangrungy says:

    I guess Pepsi is trying to de-zionify it’s cans..

  12. Ret. Marine says:

    Well, I must admit, it got my dander up as well, but not unexpectedly it isn’t a surprise considering where it came from. Hey BNI, here is another cause for you to take up, I am going to talk to the reps of this company and demand they have dubai explain why they think a representation of a disater, some in their country comdomn by acts of charitable contributions within the muslim caliphate used to finance this very type of operation against the infidels, i.e. us who care not to side with satan and his minions, muslims. Now seeing this is not under the control of any American distributors, we still should insist upon a boycott of their products. This is unacceptable in any case, intended or not and Pepsi’s Corporate office needs to hear from all of us.

    I don’t see it in another way, it is an insult to the principles of which distinguish the Free-men of this Country, the Patriots who have served this country and our cause to secure the rights of even those whom we despise for their intolerant attitudes towards us, muslims and dubai is a muslim country.

    Randy63ism, no it’s not chiling, it’s called a cheapshot at the expense of our Patriots, pure and simple.

    Semper Fi. keep’m well oiled, stacked and at the ready. Our time in fast becoming short.

  13. TurtleShroom says:

    Oh good Lord… I see the plane, I see the towers, but that looks like bubbles more than smoke. I see no real 9/11 reference. That’s over-the-top paranoia.
    Pepsi is an American company. I don’t think the good executives of Pepsi would approve of depicting 9/11 in ANY positive light.

    As for dissing Snopes… just… no. Soros is the enemy, yes, but seriously, where’s your proof that HE operates it, and even so, why?

    I’ve used Snopes a lot; there’s few media more honest.

  14. No.1 Infidel says:

    Even if Pepsi try to claim this was unintentional (which I can’t believe is true) at best they are clueless and completely insensitive. I have shown this to a number of people without saying anything, and every person has said that this is a picture of 9/11.

  15. Angel Nova says:

    Stop drinking this poison, pepsi!

  16. Angel Nova says:

    Stop drinking this poison, pepsi cola. Tthat poison is Islam!

  17. David says:

    I’m a vet. When I talk with vets and active duty and they feel comfortable, they oppose what is happening to the military. But they are trained to take orders and carry them out. I sense they are disgusted with obama because he has set up a mental conflict between defending the U.S.A. which may mean dying for the country and the preferential treatment he gives the ‘enemy’, especially those in the service. This is much worse than during the Vietnam war, when I was serving. They know obama’s kissing up to the military is just that. Wondering if the military ballots for president will be counted, if even distributed.

  18. Dredtost says:

    We should start a boycott of “All” pepsi products. How dare pepsi allow this on their cans!

  19. CrustyB says:

    Notice that there’s only one star-shaped symbol and it sits on the side edge of one of the buildings, like an explosion. The reflection in the water renders the two buildings as twins.

  20. zingara says:

    …and the american army, in its infinite stupidity, has allowed this mockery to be served to our troops?!?! [is pepsi, america affilliated w/ pepsi, arabia?]

  21. nomosque says:

    I thought this clown-faced paki getting his ass kicked in the first round
    of this boxing match(if that’s what you wanna’ call it) might cheer you up???

    Bollywood actress Veena Malik reported missing after nude FHM photo scandal

    There were fears today for the wellbeing of Bollywood actress Veena Malik after she was reported missing by her manager.

    She had previously been accused by clerics of immoral behaviour on Bigg Boss for wearing shorts, hugging a male actor and swimming with Pamela Anderson

    The Lahore-based militants issued a statement saying: “She has made fun of all Muslim women and brought shame to the entire nation. Veena Malik will be dealt with accordingly on her return to Pakistan.”

    Spokesman Abu Usama added ominously: “Our faithful are prepared to welcome her.”

    And prominent Muslim cleric Maulana Abdul Qawi warned of a fatwa against Malik for shaming Islam.

    I realize that all the national Pepsi companies operate independently of each other and cater, to some degree, to the local market (in language, mostly, but also, perhaps, in some small graphic detail); but when it comes to the graphic logo style of “Pepsi,” there’s only ONE way to display it – even in other languages!! Pepsi International would NOT allow their famous image to be tampered with one whit!! I think it bears reporting – and loudly (a la our protests to Lowe’s!) – to Pepsi World HQ (where?). The CEO, I think, is a woman of another nationality (Indian?) who might be equally upset (esp. if her background is Hindu!!). I might have some of these details wrong, but there needs to be a MAJOR blowback on this!! We know our military brass have balls of pink fluff, but this is more important that their effin’ “diversity!” This is WAR!! And to add insult to injury, our military is over there as a result of this major strike against the kafir USA!! Whoever allowed this to enter Afghanistan – let alone our millitary bases – should lose his rank.

  24. hottips2011 says:

    I’ll tell you what I see, thousands upon thousands of emails being sent
    to Pepsico, and no, we’re not accepting Pepsi’s answer that they have
    no control over this. Here’s the link to complain about a “problem” with
    a product, btw it is the int’l site link. Have at it!

    http://cr.pepsi.com/inen/pepsiinen.cfm?date=20111218

  25. WTF?!!!!! And pepsi is allowing this? Wanna bet it will never make the newscasts?

  26. Nick says:

    I kind of think it’s not so much that I’m choosing to “not see the 9-11 attack” as it is that people are choosing to see it. Bubbles are a trademark in soft drinks in general. They are in Coca-Cola commercials, Sprite commercials, and Pepsi commercials, along with many others. I only see Pepsi depicting an urban environment that happens to have towers…. like most large urban environments around the globe. Also, it is not uncommon in Chiago, Dallas, New Orleans, Memphis, or (insert other major city here) to look up and see a large airplane flying because it’s a major mode of transportation of goods and people.

    I think that we need to be careful to not read into this as much. I mean, I could be wrong; I am human, but lets take another look at this whole thing.

  27. Disgusting!!! The U.S. should stop buying their product!

  28. Slobyskya Rotchikokov says:

    Is the ‘star’ shape on the left building an ‘impact marker’?
    I stopped buying Pepsico products when I learned of their contract with a research company which uses fetal liver cells from late term abortions in a process for altering the taste highlights of their products ( you can easily find that out if you were unaware) so this is just one more reason.
    If only more people knew and cared!

    • SR, hadn’t noticed that, but because that’s the building that appears to have smoke coming out of it, that could be where the first plane hit the north tower with the 2nd plane heading for the south tower.

  29. Richard Bottari says:

    It makes me proud to have worked for Coke and have since retired. Pepsi is pepsi always number two and always will be. a total lack of respect for those who perished on that bleak day in our history…..

  30. fitzhugh fanny says:

    Poptoy,Better take another look at the pepsi package of owership and you will find numerous brands from Quaker Oats, Frito-Lay’s Doritos, Tropicana, etc., all controlled by pepsi.
    What you will not find, at least I could not find, who actually determines major marketing themes, etc.
    Certainly the twin towers image is a victory statement of muslime superiority and designed to be a slap in the face of America.

    BTW: In my opinion, though I want all our Military back home – the pull-out of our troops comes at a time when it seems the muslimes have determined they can easily take control of the countries involved.
    I remain extremely concerned over the inane policy decisions made by the powers that be in the pentagon – sending our Military to “protect” the people then tying their hands and limiting their combat actions even as their lives are sacrificed daily. The pentagon needs a major house-clean out.

    Does anyone know the number, if any, of possible terrorists employed in the Tyson related meat production plants ? Just wondering if there might be a covert program designed to increase food costs, cause shortages and undermine the public confidence in our food supplies.
    Seems strange that Tyson has had two incidents of E. coli. contaminated hamburger meat in such a short time period – almost as though it was a deliberate act. Just wondering.

  31. Chris.Curran."Bonnie"Scotland. says:

    Pepsi have just lost another Customer,and i for one will spread the News over here.

  32. Worried Female says:

    Time to boycott Pepsi methinks.
    Is there a list somewhere of all the companies that support islam so we all know who to boycott?

    • WF, not yet, but I am working on compiling one. I know you should avoid Butterball turkeys (all are halal), Boston Market turkey, Subway, Outback (lamb), KFC (if there are muslims in the neighborhood),COSTCO lamb products.

  34. holycow122 says:

    i wonder when this came out. was this done to remind about the mosque they wanted to put up in NYC also?

  35. Amboyduke says:

    Folks.

    It sure looks like it’s intentional.

    Why would they give our troops pepsi made in Dubai? WTF?

    Here’s something rather disturbing to contemplate…

    In England there has been several instances of non muslim people purchasing baked goods from muslim operated shops and have found that the goods had been laced with human feces!

    It wouldn’t surprise me in the least that those workers in the dubai pepsi plant weren’t spitting and pissing in the water that goes into the pepsi. Maybe even throwing in a turd or two…!!!

    Maybe it’s time to unleash Israel and let them lay waste to that entire pus filled area over there,
    with our help and blessing.

    Stay tuned.

  36. Cactiki says:

    Snopes is Soros funded? I knew they were liberals! Could tell by the way the defensively debunked the Obama emails….. They have their hands in everything!

  37. sam patterson says:

    What a slap in the face & complete INSULT to OUR Military, ALL wounded warriors and the KIAs & their families from an AMERICAN company ; # 43 on Fortune 500 list @ $ 57 BILLION in annual revs – So what is it POPTOY you aren’t gonna buy anymore of from Pepsico : any Frito Lay Products ( Lay’s, Tostitos, Doritos, Cheetos, Ruffles…) Lipton Tea, Life Cereal, Quaker Oats, Gatorade, Tropicana Orange Juice, Pepsi, 7 Up – here’s more complete list : I say COMPLETE BOYCOTT PUBLICLY send to Fox News Hannity, Limbaugh, Schnitt, Wilkow, David Webb …

  38. Stuart Kennedy says:

    Pepsi……. never again!

  39. dragonfFIRE01 says:

    do the higher ups in PEPSICO know that what is going on or is the design decided by the locla bottler?

  40. cat says:

    Pepsi needs to hear about this insult to America. This is so obviously the start of 9-11 with the start of the fall of the twin towers. This is not a mistake. This is a direct insult to America and a compliment to the terrorists of the cult of islam.

  41. Travis says:

    Wheeee… people and their ridiculous overreactions. This is not what you think it is, but you just HAVE to find a reason to be insulted. And you won’t listen to any other rational explanations. It saddens me that there are people like you in the world. Grow up. Open your eyes and your minds and you will realize that you are terribly overreacting to everything.

  42. Dr. Duke says:

    It goes great with the 0bama logo on the can.

  43. GrouchyFogie says:

    Mohoe

    I did Google Search “Dubai Images”,,, and then clicked on “Images”,,,

    I recommend that this be done. However, I also believe a different image could have been used, more representative of Dubai than New York~!

  44. CoronaBunny says:

    BNI: I don’t think its smoke – it looks like the number 8 is repeated several times (at least 5 – small circle on top of a larger circle).

    Now, aren’t many mosques etc. constructed on an eight-star shape?

    I don’t know enough to really comment on this – does anyone happen to know?

    I would like to see Snopes talk this away, if true, on top of everything else. This might just be a completely legit example of some Moo in PepsiCo having some fun.

  45. Mary Hudson says:

    Pepsi should be ashamed for putting this on cans. I hope every American boycotts Pepsi for this. I will not allow it in my house!

  46. cb says:

    Um. Looked some more. It DOES look like smoke, along with some 8′s in it, going upward. I stand corrected.

    If 8 has no meaning in Isloonyism, then perhaps I’m just imagining things… ?

  47. ICE says:

    dragonfFIRE01
    Pepsi America didn’t know. So TELL EM LOUD AND CLEAR.

  48. revereridesagain says:

    I also searched the google images of Dubai and had the same reaction as Grouchy. (Be sure to also click on the top photo to get the full size.) That does not look like Dubai architecture with the distinctively fanciful buildings that define the “look” of that place. If it was meant to “advertise” Dubai I would expect to see the “sailboat” building, etc. The image on this can is specifically two squarish (the corners are highlighted in white so at first glace it looks like 4 flat buildings thin to the point of impracticality even for Dubai) towers, much taller than the buildings surrounding them, with the plane very prominent at the top. The NYC transit system wouldn’t let Pam Geller put an image less explicit than this on the sides of their buses when she was protesting the GZ mosque. It would be interesting to know if the other markets to which this can is shipped are all Muslim countries.

    And yeah, it does go well with the hopey-changey logo knockoff doesn’t it.

    Good thing I’m a Coke person.

  49. nomosque says:

    BNI, I’m fairly new here, but I remember reading some time ago that the
    UK was letting 5000 pakistani halal butchers into their country. GEE…
    I was thinking that’s all they need is 5000 of these nut-jobs walking
    around their country with sharp knives.

  50. qt8625 says:

    How could this happen? Going to look to see what Pepsi Company owns and will never buy any of their products again. Putting this article up in the supermarket and anywhere else. God Bless America
