Red Bean Pepsi,Anyone?

Ahh,Japan.Land of maid cafes,Harajuku fashion and used underwear dispensers(of which has since been banned).A place in which oddity is celebrated and sometimes,strived for.Take Pepsi for example.Not content with finishing second behind Coke in popularity,Pepsi Japan released three limited edition flavours synonymous with Japanese culture.

I'll bring you the least stomach churning one first.

Shiso flavour!Shiso is a Japanese term for Perilla,a herb belonging to the mint family and most households.Not surprisingly,it tastes like cough syrup.

Ice Cucumber flavour!A popular food during those hot sweltering summers,Pepsi has turned the vegetable into liquid form.Probably for those on the go who are to busy to prepare a meal out of it.Which is at least more appetising than the flavour.

Red Bean flavour!It can be found in paus,crisps,dumplings,sweets,chewing gum and now Pepsi!Though the last choice would not be a common sight in your refrigerator anytime soon.
