Food Fights: The Biggest Culinary Scandals Of 2011
Famous Death Row Last Meals
One could scarcely call a pale-green soft drink Pepsi. Nonetheless, here it is. Pepsi Ice Cucumber is an actual product, not a parody along the lines of Beef Twinkies. This bizarre beverage went on sale this week in Japan. As with many new products that experiment with flavors, it's only available for a limited time. I've savored sake with slivers of cucumber in it, but this green concoction strikes me as some sort of Zimalike mutant. While I'd love to think that Pepsi limited the supply of this new creation to boost future sales, after reading some reactions from bloggers in Japan, I'm not so sure. Japan Probe notes that the label describes the drink as a combination of cucumber and cola, but concludes that it has very little cola flavor. The blogger goes on to say that after the first few intriguing sips, the artificial cucumber renders it nasty. Japan Probe also has a post of some YouTube reactions to Pepsi Ice Cucumber. One fellow said it has a "green flavor, kind of like Satan's in my mouth." Mmm ... devil cola.

I guess this is the kind of thing that happens after you drop a couple of nuclear (or in Bush-speak, nucular) bombs on people.

So I put it in my watchlist, and if the bids aren't too high by the end of the auction, I might try to get it. But I don't know that I want to spend a small fortune for something that I'm more than likely going to spit out after the first swig. I might just get lucky and find another auction and get it cheaper.
