A FIZZY drink fan claims to have discovered a MOUSE inside a bottle of Diet Coke – but some reckon he made the whole thing up.

Mexican Erick Dixon posted a live video of his furry find on social media – and it soon went viral with more than 5.7million views.

He claims to have videoed himself opening the bottle after noticing a strange object bobbing in the unopened bottle.

Dixon said: “I found something a bit strange in the top part of the bottle and decided to record a video while emptying the drink."

He uses a large knife to prise the cap off the glass bottle, which suspiciously lets off no fizz as it opens.

The youngster then feigns surprise when he finds hairs on the underside of the cap.

He says: "There are hairs in the cover. There are also hairs inside. I am going to throw it because it is too disgusting."

He pours the dark liquid into a sink to reveal a dead rodent trapped inside the bottle.

The mouse in the picture appears too large to have squeezed through the bottle neck.

But Dixon insists: "Look at this, something is appearing now. I don’t know if you can see it, but this is a rat, inside a Coke bottle.

“It is a new Coke, just bought in Oxxo, it does not matter where it was bought, but it was new, totally new, and there is a kind of little mouse.

"This is the mouse that invaded my Coke. If you drink Coke, please check it before drinking it."

According to local media, Coca-Cola has yet to comment on the incident despite the video going viral.

Many commenters were dubious about the youngster’s claims.

One wrote: “We almost believe you, man."

While another added: “When he opened the bottle, there was no gas from inside."
