Even though I'm not a big fan of strawberry milk, I would still like to give that flavor a go.

Is it still cola at this point?

(I'd bet I'll find it around Little Tokyo. I'm caffeine-sensitive, so I'll have to examine the label carefully to see if Pepsi Pink has it or not.)

I can only imagine it tastes like a strawberry-flavored Calpis. Eww.

Come to think of it, it almost looks like Pepto-Bismol. A watery version anyway.

I love strawberry flavored Calpis and this actually sounds pretty good to me. But I love strawberry flavored things in general.

I love Calpis in general too. I like the original flavor the best, but they're all good.

There are some Korean knockoffs of Calpis that, while lower in quality, costs like a third of the price.

It totally looks delicious to me. Really, I don't get how people here went "Ewww" or "Groosss". This is not even the most bizarre Japanese product out there. I wonder what you'll think of me when I say that I tried eating Japanese inago (locust / grasshopper) and it wasn't even half bad.

Wow, I actually tried this flavor in 2011. It was an enjoyable beverage.

That's simple: Different countries have different tastes. 7-Up tastes different there than 7-Up tastes in the United States, for instance: It's sweeter and has a simpler flavor, and it's sweetened with sugar instead of high fructose corn syrup.

You can still get the stuff imported back in though. Or if there's a Japanese district in your area, or a market that caters to a Japanese population, you could find the stuff on store shelves.

I'm guessing it's one of those places that still call soda "cola".
