A/N: I read this on an NPR link today and it sounded exactly like an SPN plotline. Unfortunately - and horrifically - however, it seems to be true. Which is why I wrote and posted this here.
Warning: really gross.
"Dean - stop drinking. I think the Leviathans have gotten into the Pepsi Company."
Dean looked over at Sam, trying to judge if he was being sarcastic or if he really knew what he was talking about. They were at a picnic bench. They'd finished dinner, Sam was on his computer, and Dean was finishing his soda pop.
At least, he'd been planning to finish it.
"Why do you think that?" He asked.
"They're - they're - " Sam actually looked like he might be sick. "They're working with a company that uses kidney cells from aborted babies to create new flavors."
And Dean thought he'd be sick in a moment, too. He pushed his bottle of Pepsi away from himself.
"All right - where're you looking that up? Did you check Snopes? Are you sure it's not just some 'rat poison in the Tylenol' hoax?"
"It's on NPR, man." Sam said. "It says Pepsi's working with a company called Senomyx, and that that company uses a cell line cultured from a human embryo, and that they applied for a patent for 'recombinant methods for expressing a functional sweet taste receptor.'"
"Dude, that is just gross." Dean eyed his nearly full bottle. "I feel like I should salt and burn that."
"I mean - it's got to be Leviathans, right?" Sam asked. "People wouldn't do that, would they?"
Dean opened his soda pop and poured it out onto the ground.
"I hope it is Leviathans. We at least have a hope in hell of defeating them. If it's people - I don't even want to think about that."
Sam shook his head in agreement and poured out what was left of his own soda. Just to be safe, they each took a swig of holy water before they got back in the car and headed down the road.
The End
