In Japan, original flavored Pepsi have been released by Suntory for a limited time only. Some are good but some are weird… Let’s look at examples!

It is not baobab tree flavor though. It tastes like ginger and citrus.
The last one is not time limited. It is original flavor but has extra caffeine and carbonation.

It says on the can “Strong Carbonation! Wait 15 seconds before opening can.” 😯
It is good when you are tired and need refreshment and energy.
This is JAPAN Style!
