Tokyo, Japan — Japanese are staying cool as a cucumber this summer with “Pepsi Ice Cucumber” — a new soda based on the crisp green gourd.
The soft drink, which hit stores on Tuesday, doesn’t actually have any cucumber in it, but has been artificially flavored to resemble the refreshing taste of a fresh cucumber.
All I can say is YUCH!!! Only in Japan.
For Kindle and with free ePub version. Only $9.49 Great reading.

You can literally have a different soda every day there – don’t knock it till you’ve tried it. Marketing is just marketing too – Orange Crush doesn’t exactly remind me of oranges.
Pepsi Ice? I thought the “Ice” moniker was basically for beer.. like Bud Ice or Milwaukee’s best ice, Keystone ice.. etc..
Way cool — a soft drink with twice the belching potential of regular soda!!
3. Bubba- LOL, now I’d like to see Garlic Flavored Pepsi.
This is no different than Dr Browns celery soda, which I admit I’ve never had the nerve to try.
Dr Brown knows his cream soda though.
Jones has the wackiest flavors…

When they bring out the brussel sprout flavor then the end is truly here.
I’ve heard of cucumber oil – but cucumber flavored soda? wtf!?
Raff – Turkey and Gravy soda?? That’s way farther out than Cucumber.
There is a grapefruit soda from Jamaica called TING, has anyone seen it in the US? its my favorite.
Squirt is a grapefruit soda. It’s found throughout the US.
Ive had Squirt, Squirt is no Ting, its not bad though.
Is ting like a spritzer?
13. No its a regular soda, tart, like Squirt, but really potent, makes your eyes water. Small bottle, like 8 oz. I got hooked on them in the West Indies. That and Pickapeppa, a Jamaican steak sauce.
#4 – Bubba- LOL, now I’d like to see Garlic Flavored Pepsi.
Or Pepsi Brown Beans – Same good taste, but double the effect!
Lays’ sells green tea flavoured potato chips in China.
$14 – lol I have a bottle of pickapeppa in my fridge – buddy of mine went down there a few months ago & brought it back…. and I still think it tastes like A1 w/ tobasco
17. tallwookie- yeah, it aint cheap, but it aint $14.00. And it doesnt taste anything like A1. Tried it on grilled mahi, yeah baby.
I live in Japan and there are weirder soda flavors here: yogurt coke, strawberries and whipped cream, lemon and kiwi shake soda… And the snacks they have here… little dry anchovies, dry chopped octopus tentacles… ughhh
I guess truth really is stranger than fiction. Here’s a bit on Okra Cola from 25 years ago. http://youtube.com/watch?v=4M9WbLawD2I
I’m basically a recovering Mountain Dew addict, but I’ve found Fresca to be a decent alternative. It’s like Dew with a grapefruit kick.
Did you know Mountain Dew is orange juice? Check the ingredients…
woot!
Next year, they roll out the Pepsi Squid… 🙂
Or Pepsi Brown Beans – Same good taste, but double the effect!
