Pepsi Baobab

Pepsi has done it again. It suspect they use the Japanese population for their drink-taste experiments … or at least i am not aware of Pepsi doing anything like this in other markets. Every year there are at least 1 or 2 special flavored drinks available in the convenience stores and this time we get to enjoy the taste of africa! It looks like elephant p*** but the taste is actually quite ok. Baobab is a type of tree native to mostly Madagascar (as well as mainland Africa and Australia). Both the leaves and the fruits (also called “monkey’s bread”) of the baobab are edible, but are not commonly found or eaten outside of Africa. The drink tastes a lot like Gingerale … but there are certainly some subtle differences between real Gingerale and this drink.
