Ice Cucumber
Not the first to report on it, I know. Clay claims it causes severe gastrointestinal distress (e.g. explosions). Japan Probe covered it yesterday, too.
However, I dropped by the Lawson’s and purchased 2 new things. I was the first person on Hakata to get their new Sausage Egg & Cheese biscuit, which I was sadly stoked about – until I discovered that they had slathered that sucker in mayo. Who puts mayo on eggs, for crying out loud?? I ended up binning that thing. Sad. The other thing I tried out was the new Ice Cucumber Pepsi. Weird? Yes. Refreshing? Actually…yeah. I’m gonna buy it again, I think. It’s odd. Not particularly cucumbery – but I suppose that’s good? It has the detectable Pepsi base, for those who’ve tried the cinnamon, golden, clear, or other questionable Pepsi varieties. Much in the same way one can detect Mountain Dew’s base in Code Red, Ice Cucumber has some obvious shared genetic material… The coloring is a really light green, too. I dunno – reminds me of what a blue gummy bear might taste like if you washed it down with juice squeezed from the green part of the rind of some watermelon, just add the bite of soda water. That’s as close to approximating the oddness in words as I can get. Anyhoo – just thought I’d share.
