Sorry about that lame joke.

Via Blogtown…cucumber-flavored Pepsi.

“Pepsi Ice Cucumber” hit the stores this week, but it doesn’t actually have any of the green gourd in it. Instead it has been artificially flavored to resemble “the refreshing taste of a fresh cucumber,” said Aya Takemoto, spokeswoman of Japan’s Pepsi distributor, Suntory Ltd.

“We wanted a flavor that makes people think of keeping cool in the summer heat,” Takemoto said. “We thought the cucumber was just perfect.”

Just as I would switch to Mr. Sparkle for all my clothes washing needs, I would totally go for one of these.
