Japan Is Getting Strawberry Milk Pepsi

And it's called "Pink Cola," because as you can see, yes, the drink is pink.

 

As Suntory announces in an official release, this Pepsi is strawberry milk-flavored. It joins the ranks of other limited-time only Pepsi flavors released in Japan, like Ice Cucumber Pepsi, Salty Watermelon Pepsi, and Red Bean Pepsi, among others.

 

This isn't the first time that the strawberry milk flavored Pepsi has been released in Japan. It previously hit store shelves in 2011, which you can see in these photos from Gigazine:

Apparently, this is a very sweet-tasting drink, as if the color didn't clue you into that.

 

The latest Pepsi Pink will go on sale on December 9 in Japan. So pink!

Well, the article doesn't claim it IS cola... Pepsi is a company, not a product. They make all kinds of different beverages.

expect for the picture claimed it IS cola.

 

The actual strawberry milk actually tasted quite nice, but Pepsi probably muck it up by trying to 'colanizing' it.

Really? I must be seeing things as the bottle is clearly labeled as Cola

 

and the first line "And it's called "Pink Cola," because as you can see, yes, the drink is pink."

If you look at a Coke bottle ingredient #2 is "caramel color," which is brown. Without it and other colorings the drink is pretty much clear. Add strawberry and pink color and voil?!

During WW-2 a clear Coke was made at the request of Marshal Georgy Zhukov of the Soviet Union. A batch was made up and quietly presented to him by General Dwight D. Eisenhower.

The story goes Marshal Zhukov, a Coke fan in a country that banned it, wanted a clear version so it would look like he was drinking vodka. It was delivered in clear bottles with a red star cap and fake label.

How'd they get Coke into a battle zone?

Eisenhower asked Coca-Cola to set up 10 bottling plants in North Africa to supply the troops. By the end of the war there were over 60 plants across Europe and the Pacific.
