The newest Pepsi flavor in Japan, if you\u2019re reading this in summer\/fall 2019. If you\u2019re reading this after that, it is a Pepsi flavor that will never come to the U.S. unless a PepsiCo bigwig reads this review and is moved by my words so much that he or she convinces the powers that be to sell a pineapple-flavored Pepsi in the U.S.<\/p>\n
How is it?<\/h3>\n
It\u2019s good enough that, if a bigwig at PepsiCo is reading this review, he or she should persuade everyone there to offer a pineapple Pepsi in the U.S. next summer.<\/p>\n
Now I say it\u2019s good enough, but it\u2019s not \u201cOh, my God! Find your passports and fly to Japan to buy them all\u201d good. It\u2019s pleasant enough that, if you\u2019re willing to spend roughly $10-$15 and wait 3-5 weeks for a bottle to be shipped to you from Japan via some of the slowest forms of parcel transportation, then I\u2019d say spend the money and wait.<\/p>\n
The fruity flavor at the beginning of every sip is a bit too faint for my liking. The cola prevents it from shining. But the tropical fruit pops mostly in the aftertaste, which is not ideal. But it\u2019s prominent and better than having no pineapple flavor at all. It\u2019s a sugary, somewhat natural pineapple flavor that kind of makes me forget about it being not so noticeable at the beginning of each sip.<\/p>\n
Is there anything else you need to know?<\/h3>\n
As I\u2019ve said many times on this blog and in conversation ice breakers, I wish Pepsi in the U.S. was creative with cola flavors. I know we had mango, berry, and lime varieties earlier this year, but two of those have been done before. The creativity Pepsi expends in new varieties is about the same as what Hollywood expends nowadays with all these reboots.<\/p>\n
After typing that, I realize the possible bigwig at PepsiCo reading this might\u2019ve been insulted.<\/p>\n
Also, I could go for a lychee Pepsi, Japan. I\u2019d spend good money and wait ten days for one. (Ten days being how long it takes for products shipped from Japan to end up on this rock in the middle of the Pacific Ocean). <\/p>\n
Conclusion:<\/h3>\n
Although I\u2019m not entirely pleased with it, Pineapple Pepsi is one of the better Pepsi flavors I\u2019ve had from Japan since I started spending money on obtaining them over a decade ago. Some U.S. Japanese grocers might bring this in, so if you happen to see it in one of those stores, I\u2019d recommend picking it up.<\/p>\n
