Japanese are staying cool as a cucumber this summer with “Pepsi Ice Cucumber” – a new soda based on the crisp green gourd.
The soft drink, which hit stores here on Tuesday, doesn’t actually have any cucumber in it – but has been artificially flavored to resemble “the refreshing taste of a fresh cucumber,” said Aya Takemoto, spokeswoman of Japan’s Pepsi distributor, Suntory Ltd.
“We wanted a flavor that makes people think of keeping cool in the summer heat,” Takemoto said. “We thought the cucumber was just perfect.”
The mint-colored soda is on sale just for the summer and only in Japan, Takemoto said. She said initial sales were brisk, and Suntory aims to sell 200,000 cases over the next three months.

A piglet born in Croatia with six legs and two penises has been nicknamed Octopig.
Owner Ivica Seic came up with the nickname, daily newspaper Vecernji List reported.
The farmer from the village of Vrpolje said Octopig also has two anuses, and was growing so fast they had decided to keep him as a pet.
Ivica said: “Who knows, maybe we can breed more although the two penises might be a problem.”

Security guards later found the severed finger “and a large amount of blood” in the pub’s bathroom, New South Wales state police said in a statement.

Giving sultry looks and sexy smiles to the camera, 12 Pittsburgh-area women recently posed at Monongahela historical sites, baring it all – or almost all – to create a charity-driven calendar. The catch?
The nearly nude ladies are all in their 70s and 80s, driven to adventure by a desire to raise money for a historical society in Monongahela, a small community 17 miles southeast of Pittsburgh.
Overcoming fears the priest would walk by during a photo shoot or embarrassing their children and grandchildren, the women – all well-known members of the tight-knit community – are now eagerly awaiting the calendar’s debut next month. The money it generates will go to the Monongahela Area Historical Society.
A Gloucestershire artist is selling a squashed hare and fox in a frame for £35,000.
Adam Morrigan, 38, from Horsley, scraped the animals off the road, skinned them and then displayed them in a frame.
Mr Morrigan has a “roadkill hotline” for people to call when they spot a flattened animal, reports the Daily Mail.
He skins the animals and, depending on what he has found, eats the flesh, before using their hides for his sculptures.
In the past, he has feasted on badgers, foxes, squirrels and hares.
Two top sniffer dogs have been fired – for urinating on luggage and sexually harassing women.
Mok and Lai, strays retrained as police dogs, won praise for finding drugs.
But some passengers complained at their antisocial habits, reports the Daily Mirror.
Mok’s former handler at Chiang Rai airport in Thailand said: “He liked to pee on luggage while searching for drugs.
“He also liked to hold on to women’s legs. They were strays so their manners were worse than foreign breeds.”
