Pepsi Ice Cucumber: Now On Sale!

Pepsi Ice Cucumber officially went on sale today, and you should be able to find it in most supermarkets and convenience stores around Japan. While the bottle clearly describes it as “combination” of cucumber and cola, there just isn’t much cola flavor to it. The drink takes on a somewhat sweet and fruity flavor, but the artificial cucumber flavor is noticeable, in my opinion. It’s interesting for a few sips, but then the artificial cucumber aftertaste kicks in, making it pretty nasty. At the supermarket I went to, there was a huge dent in the Ice Cucumber display, which probably meant a lot of people bought a few bottles because of the novelty/hype. It will be interesting to see if its popularity lasts…

Anybody else try Pepsi Cucumber Ice?

I’ll be checking out the conbini later on today to get some. I hope they have cans or something, cause I doubt I can drink a full 500mL of cucumber…

Try Yeo’s White Gourd (from the canned soymilk maker). They’re sweet and refreshing, although not a soda.

I tried it today. I’d actually buy it again. Not bad. Beats the living daylights out of that godawful Kirin Lemon Black stuff. It’s actually refreshing.

Anything is better than Kirin Lemon Black. Anything.

I am wondering how I can get a six pack of Pepsi Ice Cucumber to America, is anyone willing to ship 6 bottles over here, and if so, what would the cost be?

Definately only seen bottles in the conbini.

Actually I rather like it, but the Cucumber taste is a total lie imho. I know the taste, I’ve had it before somewhere I swear, but it certainly isn’t cucumber. Maybe kind of minty?

Maybe someone could look up the ingredient list and crosscheck it with all current sodas. Or maybe not.

Truth be told, cucumbers don’t actually have that much taste at all…
