Blue Hawaii Pepsi (Pineapple and Lemon flavor)

Just picked it up, so far as I know only available in Japan.

Going down it just tastes like bland cola. Then there's a strong kickback of pineapple flavor, sharp to the point of being sour. They really could have tweaked the amount they used; it's too strong and drowns out everything else.

Finally, it leaves you with a nice aftertaste not unlike malibu coconut rum. I kept thinking that while its not that great a drink, it might make a good mixer. Then I remembered people used to mix malibu rum with coke and pepsi back in high school. Maybe the malibu rum has a little pineapple flavoring too, or this has a bit of coconut.

So in conclusion, cola and pineapple can mix okay, so long as the pineapple taste isn't too strong, as it is here. And at any rate these combinations just aren't as good if you're not getting drunk.

Headed to Tokyo tonight, I officially graduate from TUJ tomorrow in an official cap and gown ceremony. Sounds fun, except I'm sick and hacking up unpleasant stuff today. Hope it wears off by tonight.
