Pepsi Now In Ice Cucumber Flavour!

Well it's summer time coming around to Japan again, and not content to let summer fly by without doing SOMETHING ridiculous (it would be a blow to their national pride if they didn't =p), Pepsi is releasing a special edition Pepsi Ice Cucumber soda to take the edge off the heat.

Interestingly enough though, Pepsi Ice Cucumber doesn't actually contain any cucumber in it, nor any ice! What a bummer... Instead, the soda's just been artificially flavoured to taste like cucumber, and dyed a pale green to boot!

Wacky, yes, but not uncommon. Pepsi's been through this hijinx before with Pepsi Fire and Ice, where the Fire version contained real chilli! Not to mention the slew of different flavour enhancers Coke has been through!

Unfortunately (fortunately?) it's only available to Japan at the moment, and no word whether it will be released in Australia at a later date. O! Words cannot describe my jealousy. NOT!
