Yeah you read that righthttp://www.ktvotv3.com/Global/story.asp?S=6659822Nice color, kind of reminds me of car window washer fluid.I sip, I swish, I swallow.tastes like a 50/50 mix of 7up and water with some crystal light powder sprinkled in. This must be what antifreeze tastes like. Something tells me this will make crystal pepsi's lifespan look like the reign of the Roman empire, better buy a bottle for posterity.

From the articleA 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."

Uh, cucumber? Does anyone think of cucumbers and summer? How about watermelon captain retard

What the WTF?

Cucumber is definitely NOT a flavor I would ever think of putting in a soft drink.

"after further testing, authorities have determined the cause of death to be cucumber pepsi, not anti-freeze as originally thought. The one bottle he drank would be enough to wipe out a village.."

We have some line of water called "Hint" and it's just that, a hint of flavor in the water. I've tried the cucumber, it's not bad, although the lime is better.That though, sounds awfully disgusting.... watermelon soda FTW!!

Wow, that sounds really nasty to be honest with you. Why not break open a jar of pickles and drink the juice?

Am I the only one that thinks that doesn't sound half bad? I mean, I admit, cucumber is not what you typically think of as a refreshing fruit, but really, it kind of is. Think about it, cucumbers are very high in water and do not have an acidic taste (like a pepper does). Heck, a nice juicy cucumber is always refreshing on a salad. So why not a soda?

I don't think it will do well with the mass public, but I'd drink it.

Yeah, I've seen those at the store. They're sold as a holiday gift pack for Thanksgiving. I think Target carries them. I'm all for unique flavors, but I'll pass on Turkey and Brussel sprout flavors. I think i could be into the cucumber flavor though, I'm serious when I think it actually sounds good to me.
