19 Pepsi Flavors You’ve Probably Never Heard Of

sanela — Mon, 27 Feb 2012 10:40:14 +0000

The soda war has been raging for years between Cola and Pepsi, and to win both companies were experimenting with new, unusual flavors. We still don’t have an official winner, but we have to admit that in the category of the most bizarre flavors that appeared and were then swiftly withdrawn from the supermarket shelves, Pepsi has undoubtedly come out on top. Most of these ridiculously flavored Pepsi drinks appeared (lo and behold) in Japan, but to be fair, Russia had its share in this monkey business, as well. So, here’s a toast to that crazy bubbly drink!

1. Ice Cream (Russia)

Pepsi that tastes like vanilla ice cream appeared in Russia, and despite how awesome it sounds, it apparently tasted like shit, because it was soon withdrawn from sale.

2. Pepsi Cappuccino (Russia and Romania)

This Pepsi flavor was probably designed to keep you awake.

3. Pepsi Summer Chill – apple soda (Poland)

4. Pepsi Twist Mojito (Italy)

Heads up: There’s no alcohol!

5. Pepsi Gold – white sapote flavor (Japan, Germany, Finland and Central Europe)

I wonder why this marvelous piss-like drink didn’t pan out.

6. Fire (hot cinnamon) and Ice (cool mint) Pepsi (Guam, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore and Philippines)

7. Pepsi White – yogurt flavored (Japan)

Oh, Japan… Seriously?

8. Azuki Sweet Bean Pepsi (Japan)

9. Pepsi Blue Hawaii – pineapple lemon flavored (Japan)

This sounds pretty good, actually!

10. Pepsi Ice Cucumber

You can serve Pepsi with cucumber flavor as a salad.

11. Pepsi Red – spicy ginger (Japan)

12. Pepsi Shiso (Japan)

13. Pepsi Mont Blanc – based on a French chestnut dessert (Japan)

14. Pepsi Pink – strawberry milk flavor (Japan)

15. Pepsi Holiday – cinnamon (USA and Canada)

16. Pepsi Baobab – monkey bread fruit flavor (Japan)

17. Pepsi Samba – mango and Tamarind (Australia)

This one sounds refreshing, as well.

18. Pepsi Jazz (USA)

Pepsi Jazz came in three flavors – black cherry french vanilla, strawberries and Cream, and caramel cream.

19. And the beloved Crystal Pepsi (USA, Canada, Australia and select parts of Europe

This one had the same flavor as original Pepsi, but was translucent.

10 Things That Originally Had Ridiculous Names

sanela — Sat, 30 Jul 2011 08:32:04 +0000

Have a look at these silly and ridiculous names that these things originally had. Luckily the creators or who ever was in charge in naming the object/animal/phenomenon decided these original names are a bit of a stretch and decided to change them in the names by which we know them today. Just imagine saying ‘camelopards’ when referring to giraffes. I have to admit there is some resemblance to camels and leopards because they look a bit like camels and live in Africa and they have spots like leopards, but still it sounds too weird. Here are some others of this kind. Enjoy!

1. Baby Gays

2. David And Jerry’s Guide To The World Wide Web

3. Brad’s Drink

4. Buffy

5. Sackbut

6. ChemGrass

7. Raving Bonkers

8. Gay-Related Immune Deficiency

9. Camelopards

10. Columbia

Washington State was originally going to be named Columbia but people feared that would be confused with the District of Columbia. Glad that confusion crisis was averted!

Bonus: Snoo

As in “what’s snoo?” instead of now I’ve “reddit”.

They say little things make weddings special, well for newlyweds Ben and Nick Williams, this is literally true, because they’ve chosen a car that has only one meter length and can develop speed of maximum 20 km per hour instead of luxurious limousines, Rolls-Royces and Jaguars for their special day. The bride, Nick Williams says that it took 15 minutes for her to manage to cram her wedding dress in this tiny car, but she adds that it was very funny and interesting experience. Have a look at the smallest wedding limousine ever!

Odd and Rare Phobias

sanela — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 09:35:10 +0000

A phobia is an intense fear of any object, place or situation that often causes elevated stress and suffering. The most common symptoms of anxiety, nausea, sweating, dry mouth, panic attack, breathlessness and feeling of helplessness.

There are many serious phobias that greatly affect the life of any individual but apart from that there are some strange fears or strange phobias that no body can even think or imagine. Many people suffer from phobias like fear of flying, fear of laughter and fear of spider. These unusual and strange fears often lead to elevated stress and a sense of impending death.

Limnophobia: Fear of Lakes

In most of these cases the phobia of some specific object can often be related with the most essential, original fear that every human being senses, the fear of death. Sometimes it’s quite obvious as for example in the case of rhytiphobia, the fear of getting wrinkles, or the placophobia – the fear of tombstones, where the connection is obvious, but sometimes it’s not that plane and simple. Then we have the “strange phobias”, like some of these below. I’m sure that it’s no fun at all to the people that have these fears, but you’ll have to admit, that it is a bit funny.
