Worst marketing idea ever

[ Mood: Shocked ]
[ Currently: Working at avoiding work ]
We had a game the other night, and Kelly brought over this:

Yes, that’s right: cucumber-flavored Pepsi. I’ve seen the stuff on the shelves in a couple of convenience stores since then.

How does it taste, you may ask? Well, about as vile as you’d expect. Imagine taking Pepsi, which is pretty much like drinking battery acid anyway, and trying to make it taste like carbonated, liquid, acidic cucumber. And of course they failed to make it taste even vaguely like cucumber, which I suppose would be a little refreshing in this heat–but at least it’s day-glo green!

I had to drink a whole Belgian beer to get the taste out of my mouth. Game-mastering while drunk is a small price to pay.
