Pepsi introduces Cucumber Soda in 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 here on Tuesday, doesn't actually have any cucumber in it but has been artificially flavored to resemble "the refreshing taste of a fresh cucumber," said Aya Takemoto, spokeswoman of Japan's Pepsi distributor, Suntory Ltd.
"We wanted a flavor that makes people think of keeping cool in the summer heat," Takemoto said. "We thought the cucumber was just perfect."
The mint-colored soda is on sale just for the summer and only in Japan, Takemoto said. She said initial sales were brisk, and Suntory aims to sell 200,000 cases over the next three months.
Pepsi trails behind industry leaders Coca Cola (Japan) Company, with about 15 percent of the Japanese cola market, and also faces stiff competition from non-fizzy bottled drinks like green tea and coffee, which are popular here.
Suntory said it sold 20.5 million cases of Pepsi brand drinks in 2006, including its popular Pepsi NEX zero-calorie soda.

That is nasty reminds me of Bilk.
"A new drink goes is about to go on sale in Japan - it's called "Bilk" and combines a low-malt beer with milk."
I guess thats old news now was popular on the homebrew forums.

there are a lot of cucumber flavored drinks in japan, i had the displeasure of trying one, lets just wet grass clippings would have been a welcome flavor.

I've heard of:
celery soda turkey and gravy soda
both made here in the USA so cucumber soda really doesn't strike me as odd but I'm still in no rush to try it.

I doesn't contain any real cucumber flavor, it's just a play-on of "cool as a cucmber" and it probably has a uniquely sweet, refreshing flavor.
