ペプシアイスキューカンバー

Japan, sweet Japan, I love thou. Just when you thought fish flavoured soda was the creative limit of japanese soft drink manufacturers, they surprise you once again. Hold on, stop, rewind. This sounds as if I'm getting all ready to complain about another weird product, and I'm not.

Summer this year is going to be hot and we are all starting to feel it. Summer is also a period of peak soft drink sales and a huge company like Pepsi knows when to strike and what to strike with.



Pepsi Blue, Pepsi Red, Pepsi Gold... Been there, drank that! Who needs another colour when you can get a completly new flavour? That's probably what Pepsi of Japan thought when they decided to market their newest invention, Pepsi Ice Cucumber. Yes, CUCUMBER. I know how it sounds but believe it or not, cucumber flavoured Pepsi is not bad at all. Even though it doesn't taste like Pepsi anymore.

It's hard to put a finger on a particular taste that dominates in this chemically engineered summer special, but I wouldn't be far off if I said it's a melon flavoured drink with a note of thinned down Pepsi.



Pepsi Ice Cucumber is on sale since June 12th and you can get it at every single supermarket. Even though weird taste combinations are among many things Japan is known for, and the new Pepsi has been promoted in every possible way, sales aren't exactly going through the roof. With this in mind you can rest assured that while in Japan this summer, you'll be able to get your hands on a bottle.
