Weird Drinks: Pepsi White vs Pepsi Green!
Behold, I present to you, a death match between two exotic Pepsi flavours, gathered from around the world!
In this corner…
Pepsi Green
I got this little gem at a 7-11 in Thailand, where it’s all over the place. My friend who lives there absolutely hates it, and can’t understand why the locals “are obsessed with it” (she says with disgust). I’m not sure how I feel about it, or even if it counts as a cola. Everyone I feed it to says the taste is familiar, but they can’t quite place it (check out the heated internets debate on the subject). My kid sister says it tastes like Dr. Pepper. I also taste mint, with a hint of a floral bathroom air spray (or maybe just it’s the putrid green colour that makes me think of bathroom products talking).
Wanna know more? Check out Pepsi Thailand, which has got to be the slowest loading corporate website in the entire known universe. I wrote this entire post before it finally loaded. Go you, Pepsi Thailand!
Once the novelty wears off, I give it 6 Mehs out of 10.
In the other corner...
Pepsi White
Good old eBay provided me with this questionable limited edition beverage from Japan. Guess what the White refers to? Yogurt! But it doesn’t actually taste like yogurt. At all. (Maybe this is a good thing?) I was expecting that it would taste like calpis, but it actually tastes kinda spicy. According to the “The Japan Marketing News” it has ‚Äúa deeper, more memorable flavour.‚Äù Metafilter says it tastes like “malted battery acid.”
I do like the smell though, which smells like a cordial I had as kid in New Zealand called witches’ brew (any kiwis remember it?).
Overall, I give it a 5 Good Thing It’s Limited Editions out of 10.
So, Pepsi Green … wins! (if you can call being less gross winning…)

Syndicate!
Green Pepsi = the medicine your parents forced you to take as a kid. And not the yummy yellow banana one you would drink even when you weren’t sick. The other one.
Winning by being less gross is a pretty solid win in my books!
