Mmmmmmm! Cucumber Soda

Thursday, June 14, 2007

People in Japan are staying cool as a cucumber this summer with "Pepsi Ice Cucumber" - a new soda based on the crisp green gourd.

The soft drink doesn't actually have any cucumber in it - but has been artificially flavored to taste like cucumber. The mint-colored soda is on sale just for the summer and only in Japan. A Japanese Pepsi official says they wanted "a flavor that makes people think of keeping cool in the summer heat." He says "We thought the cucumber was just perfect."
