On a warm day the peeps in Japan can now reach for a cucumber flavored soda!

Pepsi Ice Cucumber hit stores in the land of the rising sun this week.

We want to try it!

We've enjoyed cucumber infused water at this spa we went to. We're imagining a sugary, bubbly version of the spa water. Yumm. And maybe a little bit gross!

It was actually introduced last year, I thought I started a thread about it but I didn't.

that sounds gross puke: . and anyway, by eating cucumber itself, it is the equivalent to drinking water because around 90% of it is made of water, and so what's the point in drinking ice cucumber flavoured pepsi?

OH Nuts!

Well, it doesn't sound like something I'd really just have to try (though I do love cucumbers) but...it is a pretty color :p

I also can't stand Pepsi so that's another reason I don't think I'd want to try this stuff. I'll stick with my coke and cherry or vanilla coke is as wild as I'm getting :lol:

its probably a food dye they use or something like that. i know there has been a cherry coke, and lemon pepsi and they still sell them today- and those taste nice too

Oh yeah, I doubt it's a "natural" color...I just think it's pretty lol. Cherry coke has been around for years and years (my dad drank it in the 1950's). I love cherry coke...lemon...eh, I don't know about that one.

You know Wai I'm not sure, but about 3 week's ago I went to newcastle (a town in stoke) and nipped in a paper shop and found VANILLA COKE there, I was so happy.

now if that was sold in the UK, and there was a diet/sugar free version of it, i'd definitely without any hesitation buy it

not just about cucumber, but cucumber flavoured pepsi, which sounds nasty. i like eating them, but as a flavoured beverage, i don't think it works. as it'll only taste like plain old water

I would still like to taste it so I know :lol: I love strange flavoured teas so I might like this...but then again I might not lol

lol I guess you never know...I always thought dill flavored chips would be naaasty but then I tried them and thought they were amazing.

Ew...that's one flavor I won't be trying.

And I thought the cotton candy lolipop I heard about yesterday sounded weird. I tried it, it was ok.

I prefer soda that has only one flavor. I have no interest in the vanilla, cherry, coke/dr. pepper/pepsi. Nor do I have any interest in the chocolate soda.

dr pepper tastes just like cherry coke, isn it made by coca cola?

That reminds me of a soda idea I had; pickle pop. I thought maybe someone had finally done it.
Though that would taste like dill pickle, not just cucumber.







What, doesn't anyone else like to drink pickle juice?;) I used to drink it right out of the jar.:liplick:

Cherry coke has been around for years and years (my dad drank it in the 1950's)


Cherry cola may have been around during the 50's but cherry coke was first introduced in 1982.
