Anyone try the Green Tea flavored Coke or the Shiso Pepsi yet? The Coke is odd, but not terrible. The Pepsi is pretty close to being downright awful.

Pepsi is OFF, even the original is off!

Why anyone with a sense of taste drinks it is beyond me (but then so are a lot of other things, so it might just be me!)

Had some of that shiso pepsi in Nikko. Fluorescent green! It was refreshing, but at the time probably anything would have been because it was hot and sticky and I hadn't had a cold drink for quite a few hours.

It is good as tempura, but it is most common as a condiment or presentation with sashimi... it's that serrated green leaf. In the West it's called "beefsteak leaf" or "Perilla", or something to that effect. It is also common in Korean cooking, but is usually incorrectly called "sesame leaf" if translated into English.

It's certainly green.
I don't suppose they were in development considering making it more green.
I'll have to try that out. Shiso pepsi. Sounds odd.

It probably makes your body glow in the dark. For 2 days.
Looks and sounds awful!

I tried that green pepsi this morning. Certainly interesting and different, not sure I would want it again.
