There was a long-standing rumor that one of the ingredients of Red Stripe beer was gecko meat. Finally, in 1995, a spokesman for Red Stripe called a press conference to address this rumor. He said, "Red Stripe is made with only natural and native ingredients. There is NO gecko. That's revolting and besides there are no geckos in Jamaica." A reporter then raised his hand and said "What about iguana?" The spokesman said "No more questions? Thank you for coming." and left the room.
