7-Up CLEAR DRY

Erm… not sure what the selling point is here. 85mg of caffeine only? 0 calories? Whatever but the label design is kinda cool-ish.
No commentsPepsi Strong Shot

This Japan-only tiny 190ml can of Pepsi contains craploada caffeine hence it’s called Strong Shot. Tastes like normal Pepsi, though…
No commentsPotato chips handler
… by Takara Tomy. It’s not the first time I’ve come across this invention during my last decade here in Tokyo. Only reason it got my attention this time round is because… I can see myself using this more than ever! Whether you know or not, I lurv crisps (aka. potato chips in English. Real English) and now that I have an iPad (and a brand spanking new iPhone 4 coming on 24th), it would be absolutely unacceptable in the name of god to get grease on the screens of these wonderful devices from… a greasy finger.
At only ¥699, I got nothing to loose
Green Cola

The label says:
Green Cola – for your natural life.
“Asahi Green Cola” is made from selected raw materials derived from plants such as fruits, with cola’s own dynamism and briskness.
Pepsi BAOBAB

Yes, it is indeed that time again: a new season, a new flavoured drink from Pepsi. This summer, Pesi brings us Pepsi BAOBAB. Erm… the taste of the African tree? Argh… whatever. Tastes indescribably fruity, though…
1 commentSuntory Chocolate Sparkling

New from Suntory – a clear yellowy looking drink that is chocolate flavoured and sparkling. And yep, it does taste chocolatey and sparkly…

A new drink from Cheerio. Is this a Tabasco sauce flavoured soft drink? Come on, who the hell would wanna sip on some spicy soft drink? I think the package design is some kinda parody and the product is not affiliated with the Tabasco brand. The full name is Toranoco Nanchatte Cola – it’s supposed to be some fruity flavoured fizzy drink but tastes like anything but fruity.
4 commentsPepsi Azuki

It’s that time of the season again when drink makers come out with all kinds of funky flavoured drinks. This winter, the flavour is Azuki (red beans) for Pepsi. Does it taste like red bean? The first sip, yes it does!
