Do you ever think to yourself, mmm...Pepsi — Pepsi would be so much tastier if it came in a vegetable flavor? Well, you're not the only one!
After the raging success of its "Ice Cucumber"-flaved Pepsi last summer, the soft drink manufacturer is planning to release a perilla-infused, "Shiso"-flavored Pepsi this June — just in time for summer.

And sorry, rest of planet Earth, this one's for Japanese tastebuds only.
Suffice it to say...Coke wins again.

No matter what it tastes like, it couldn't possibly be worse than Crystal Pepsi.

actually, the cucumber one might have not been bad. water with fresh cucumber added is delicious! not really sure what shiso tastes like. weird that japan has not adopted the new pepsi logo yet.

This might just be childhood nostalgia talking, but Crystal Pepsi was awesome.

This sounds horrible! what about more vanilla based flavours? Those are clearly the best.

They have Pepsi Vanilla in the US. Perhaps you could arrange to have them shipped over the border into Canada as I do.

All a matter of ones tastebuds really but like Amy I think vanilla would be a better bet. slurp!!!.

I too would love more vanilla accented sodas. I also think pomegranate flavored soda would be great too!
