It's October and it's the middle of the Halloween season these days. The other day, on October 6th, Suntory released the Pepsi Cola "Pepsi Ghost Mystery Flavor" for Halloween.


What to hide This product, the taste is only written as "mystery", and I could not imagine what kind of flavor it was from the prior information. I'm worried about it!

◆ If you try to find out about a product ...

When I searched online to find out its mysterious identity, a special site for Pepsi Ghost was a hit. And at the beginning, there is a word that calls attention to reading because there is a "strong expression".


When I went inside, I was a little surprised when I came here for the first time, saying, "Is there a person who is trying to uncover the" mystery "again today?"

According to this narrative, anyone who discovers the "mystery taste" of Pepsi Ghost will suddenly disappear. It's not so calm.


Still, as you move forward, you can read what is called a "report." The report has a page titled "About the subject's (taste) impressions", and I will omit the details, but "I feel intensely happy", "Taste like being wrapped in sunlight through the trees", "Cosmic I laughed a little because the range of taste that people feel, such as "I feel the space", is too large.


After all, it wasn't clear what it was made of and what it tasted like.

In addition, although I am proud of the chicken that is judged to be the "heart of flea" in the haunted house of Ikebukuro Sunshine City, mystery movies and escape games are my favorite, so this special site was very exciting. The story is also very elaborate, so if you like this kind of mystery, it might be fun to take a look. However, please be careful because the last punch line is usually scary enough to be surprised even if you look at it in the office in the middle of the day.

◆ I'm not sure, so I actually drank it

Well, I didn't know what to look for, so I have no choice but to drink it myself and check it. That's why I procured Pepsi Ghost at a convenience store in my neighborhood (this time I got it at NewDays).

Even if you look at the names of the raw materials written on the package, you still don't understand. There are various hints 0 (zero), but let's drink it right away.



When poured into a glass, it looks exactly like the usual Pepsi.


Take a sip- oh, I've had this somewhere . Is it close to "cherry flavor"? It tastes like foreign sweets sold at imported grocery stores. It's a complete image, but American children will eat chewing gum like this!


However, according to the report on the special website, it seems that people have different tastes. Maybe if another staff member drinks it, it will be a completely different taste review ...?

That's why I asked other editorial staff to drink Pepsi Ghost and summarized the "mystery taste" that each of them felt!


Staff A:
It is slightly bitter only the moment you put it in your mouth, and has a refreshing taste like an herb. The smell of a new futon. It is refreshing and easy to drink.

Staff S:
It's like cherry-flavored sweets that I ate at a candy store when I was a kid. The sweetness is about the same as the usual Pepsi, and it is easy to drink. I felt nostalgic.

Staff U:
It's like a carbonated drink with a fruit flavor, like the "Fata" I drank when I was a kid. I was surprised because the taste was unimaginable from the color. It's fruity and I remember the plum wine I drank with my grandmother for some reason.

--What do you think. Some of the impressions were unclear, but each person has their own way of feeling the taste. You can see how high the potential of Pepsi Ghost is.

Other than that, there are also impressions such as a cocktail (cola split) that you can drink casually at an izakaya, root beer that you drank in Okinawa, and a slightly weakened Dr. Pepper. Also, this was common to subjects in their 30s and over, but it seems to have an emotional and nostalgic taste as a whole. It was impressive that everyone had a little distant eyes after drinking. I'm sure I remembered something.


Anyway, it's a taste that you can't understand until you actually drink it, so if you are interested, please check it with your own tongue! This is a Halloween season limited flavor, so don't miss it.
