Pepsi introduces Cucumber Soda in Japan
    #7061148 - 06/18/07 11:41 AM (16 years, 8 months ago)

What in the good god hell?

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.

Sounds good... I like "out there" soda flavors...

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. :smirk:

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.

The story goes, or the way that I was told
There was a king that always felt too high and then he fell too low
And so he called all the wise men to the hall
And begged them for a gift to end the rises and the falls
But here’s the thing, they came back with a ring
It was simple and was plainly unbefitting of a king
Engraved in black, it had no front or back
But there were words around the band that said
Just know: This Too Shall Pass

yes, i've heard of eBay.

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.
