Pepsi releases cucumber flavored soda in Japan

posted in Uncategorized |

The Associated Press (read the story in the Washington Post) is covering a story about a new CSD being launched in Japan called “Pepsi Ice Cucumber”.  It doesn’t actually contain cucumber, but thanks to the magic of flavorings, it supposedly tastes like “fresh cucumber”.

Having personally tried all of Pepsi’s carbonated soft drink intros to hit US market in recent years, I’m intrigued by this product.  I must say, it actually sounds good to me….Much better, in fact, than the thought of Pepsi Jazz and some of the other varieties they’ve come out with. Heck, at least it’s an original concept, even if it’s formulated for the Japanese palate.

If anyone out there has a way to get their hands on this product, we’d sure love to try it :)

    Well it a good ting that your intrigued by this product. Because Pespi is trying to find or discover “new products” that are considered healthy. A very smart move in my opinion. As a teacher, I see first hand how over weight our students, “kids” are. As for looking towards a healthy drink is a way to go, if your looking for a new and up coming thing then developing a “drink good for the body is what people want.” Tri-athletes, pro athletes are want that, as do us as Americans. I’m telling yeah, check out Function Drinks. Develop by doctors at UCLA. I feel this will be the next “big up coming drink,” that is different than all those others.
