that same blog said this in a more recent article:

"The drink takes on a somewhat sweet and fruity flavor, but the artificial cucumber flavor is noticeable, in my opinion. It’s interesting for a few sips, but then the artificial cucumber aftertaste kicks in, making it pretty nasty."

I think that was a summer release as I don't see it around anymore. The color is very much like melon soda, and it tastes like a mix of cola and watermelon from what I remember. I didn't think it was too bad.

I was there in August and was looking for it everywhere. No luck. I'm sure there's some soda otaku out there who's sitting on twelve unopened cases, has never tasted a drop and never plans to.

Today I was told that Tohato now sells double-strength habanero snack rings. The regular ones weren't hot enough? (They burn on the way out, too.)

This shouldn't be too surprising... I remember seeing tomato and cucumber flavored ice-cream in Japan.

I love spicy food but those green habanero snacks are stupidly spicy.

Ive never seen the cucumber pepsi, but I'll keep my eyes open for you.

Clear pepsi was pretty good, but it wasn't around very long. I don't drink soda anymore, but I haven't seen anything too exciting here for a long while.

One time, at band camp, I was eating those Tohato habanero rings and I scratched my neck with the same hand that was I was using to dig into the bag. My neck burned for about two hours afterwards.

I've got family from the west indies and the stuff they eat is FUCKING HELL HOT--like "the first person to have ever been given this shit to eat must've been hated"- hot. a relative of mine was making their own hot sauce and I tried just a tiny bit of it (they almost didn't give me any because they knew I had no idea how hot "hot" was) I felt the burn for like two days in my throat and guts. I mean the peppers they used should've been weapons--not food. I'll see if I can find anything for you in the way of snackfood.

Pepsiman kicks ass. He was actually a hidden character in an old SEGA fighting game Fighting Vipers (Japanese version only, due to licensing).
