It's summer, time for a new freaky flavor of pepsi!

[themadscientist]

For those of you not in the know Pepsi Japan has a marketing division that is sniffing glue and a leadership willing to listen to their resulting wacky ideas; hilarity ensues. Last year they brought us "the taste of summer", cucumbers. Yeah I know zerothread?id=258856

This year they seek to raise, well more like lower the metaphorical bar. I give you Blue Hawaii.

This year they are not attempting an omage to bad Elvis movies (there's an oxymoron ) but a tribute to the southern seas. No I am not making this up; truth is indeed stranger than fiction. Let's pour this swill and see if it kills me.

Yeah, I really dig a big glass of Windex with a frothy head on it I twirl it lazily around the glass and take a strong whiff like one might scrutinize a fine chardonnay. The key difference being the chemical phony pineapple odor that assaults my nostrils. Yes Pepsi's think tank came up with quite a combo this year. Pinapple and lemon. Yes lemon; pinapple's old college buddy; they go everywhere together.Well maybe it won't taste bad I think as I toss it back. Well now. I must say it's likely no coincidence it looks like glass cleaner, this is probably how it tastes too. Yeah the presentation is abrupt, the crass disingenuous counterfeit pineapple taste rushes in with the finesse of vikings hitting the beach. Then comes the body, kind of like bug spray, a definite citronella candle flavor happening there. The rear guard action is just as brutal, the lemon as chemicalesque and offensive as the pineapple. It leaves your tongue feeling and tasting like a coffee table freshly wiped down with pledge. All in all the experience was not as bad as say, having my testicles removed with a pair of BBQ tongs but still more intolerable than slamming a bottle of SimpleGreen. I don't think Pepsi has the nuts to try and sell this demon sweat stateside but if you want a similar experience to blaspheme your tastebuds try licking a citronella candle then take a shot of club soda and finish by spraying Endust in your mouth. Be sure to think about the southern sea though, or Elvis.

[drksolest]

OMG cucumber? Wow, never would have thought of that one...

[themadscientist]

yeah the cucumber was the "taste of summer"

[numbnuts240]

We Had Pepsi Blue A While Ago Here In Florida.

Lasted Longer Then I Thought.

[danielekfuj]

that, TMS, looks FVCKING AWESOME!!

i remember when that crap first came out. Taste reminded me of blueberry candles... including the waxy aftertaste.

Either way that stuff looks nasty. If someone gave me a bottle i'd probably drink it just for kicks, but it's definately not something i'd buy.

[frapjap]

My, god, that review has my IT down the hall wondering why I'm laughing! Nice write up, I especially love the part about bbq tongs and simple green.

[r34 gtr]

Sounds like pretty much everything liquid in my fridge.

[Dattebayo]

We need a report on what it looks like coming out.

[packerjd04]

Sounds scrumptious! I'd definitely try it, but i'm more curious about what the cucumber soda tasted like hahaha. Pepsi Salad??

[Jesda]

Everyone knows soda tastes better when its blue, the same way a girl is more likable as her breasts get larger.

[joe603]

Coke has some nasty crap that you can taste in the coke museum from all over the world...Japan was definitely the worst!

[Scuffed_ChukiCoupe]

pepsi and this blue soda again.... smh I wonder if it tastes different than the pepsi blue they were marketing like 2-3 years back.

[NSR_s30]

Mmmmm Windex

[nametakennow]

Kind of reminds me of Pepsi Blue too. My friends and I got bored and mixed it with all sorts of stuff(we were in middle school I think). Aside from the obviously nasty combinations like pickle juice, we did have one success. Pepsi Blue + Diet Coke, two things that alone are pretty nasty, but together are actually quite tolerable.

I'd probably try this pineapple/lemon stuff just for kicks.

[ERIC s.-14]

I think it is a shame that pepsi made a stupid soda again and you were suckered into trying it even though pepsi knows it is terrible and you knew it was going to be terrible before you drank it but you still had to try it.

UMMMMMMMMM NO? did you forget the PURPOSEFULLY NASTY french soda? the horrible one? that is SUPPOSED to be sour, bitter, vomit-inducing and horrid?

Japan's wierd sodas were SECOND worst.
