Pepsi Ice Cucumber

Pepsi Ice Cucumber

Remember the phrase “As cool as cucumber”?. For this hot summer, Pepsi Japan has launched their latest drink, Pepsi Ice Cucumber. The new green carbonated 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,”. (Now you know everything in Japan are mostly artificial, even their hospitality :P )

To get join in the frenzy, I got myself one bottle at 7-11 store nearby my house. As for the taste: tried it, hated it.

The moral of the story, “If you are looking for a cucumber, it is better to eat it than to drink it”. :P

It is a pity that there is no such product here in the US. I will try cos I think it is cooling for the hot humid Florida summer.
Can u believe the last 2 days we are having temperature of near 100 f. I don’t know what it is in C.
I thought man I feel like I am in Arizona or Nevada, so hot !
Everyday when I come out of the hospital and get into my car at 6pm, it is still very hot !

Like you are back to Malaysia :-)
