Best of the Bizzare: Japanese Soft DrinksPosted Jun 18th 2007 11:32AM by Joanne LutynecFiled under: Coffee, Juice, Far East, Food Oddities, Trends, On the Blogs, SodaI've seen some pretty bizarre drinks in my time, but InventorSpot.com's Soft Drink Hell of Fame inductees may top just about anything we've shared on these virtual pages to date. Joe already pointed us in the direction of Pepsi Ice Cucumber a few days ago, and though it made this list as well, is definitely the most normal beverage of the bunch. So without further ado...For those of you concerned about your weight, fear not! - Diet Water is now available on the shelves. You know, as opposed to the regular, calorie-laden bottles of water that we all consume daily. (Half of nothing is still nothing, right?) If plain water isn't exciting enough for you, then you could also purchase Water Salad - the brainchild of a little beverage company called Coca-Cola. Like they say at InventorSpot - is this the stuff that is left over in your salad spinner? Next up is Coolpis and Calpis. (Yes, just sound them out.) Though the names alone are enough to keep me away, Coolpis is actually a Kimchee-flavored beverage. Now I love Kimchee - but in a drink? For those of you hardcore gamers out there working up a sweat rolling 16-sided dice, Final Fantasy has released their own line of potions drinks so you can quench your thirst as you play along. There are many, many more, believe it or not, including Mother's Milk (complete with a picture of a breastfeeding child on the carton) and KidsBeer - yes, KidsBeer - which you can find over at their site.
