I had the black burger and strawberry pepsi last year.Both were pretty good, actually. Sad I'll miss out one these guys.

Hmm...If given the chance, I think I'll stick to only trying out the lemon-mint-flavored soda...

San Pellegrino have a lemon and mint flavour drink, so it's not a phenomena limited to Japan.

I wouldn't mind drinking that lemon mint Pepsi but that burger doesn't look appetizing.

We had Sprite Ice a decade or so in Canada which had mint in it, although the mint really just sharpened the taste of the lemon-lime, it didn't taste like carbonated mouthwash or anything like that.
I'm not sure I'd want mint in cola, though. Not if the taste of Coke or Pepsi after brushing my teeth is any indication. |

I'd try the soda if it wasn't cola >_>

"Wet burger" is the singularly-grossest food term I've heard in a long while.

Ever had a wet burrito? They're amazing.
I've been wanting to try that strawberry Pepsi, but I want to observe the bottle for myself to see if it has caffeine or not, as I am caffeine sensitive.
Good. Everything mint-flavored at supermarket chain Fresh & Easy tastes like mouthwash and overpowers everything else. |

^ Honestly, I wouldn't have been able to tell that there was any mint in the Sprite Ice if I hadn't already known, it was very subtle. I presume that'll be the case with the Pepsi too, but this variant of Pepsi is probably not anything I'd lament not being able to taste if it never comes to Canada (and I doubt it will, although we have gotten lime Pepsi over here before).

Mint + citrus is a reasonable idea. I like a good mojito.
I'm having a hard time imagining it added to cola flavor, though, and I'm not about to make a coke mojito to see if it works.

Yes. And I agree that they are quite good. However I'm quite reserved about having a "wet burger." |

Yeah, the name is definitely off-putting to me since it makes it sound like the burger comes on a soggy bun. |

Inspired by a food from my culture, huh? Islak is the Turkish word for wet, so before you guys start saying it sounds gross, it's an accurate translation.

Burger looks kinda gross
I'd be willing to try the soda. I'm just not that daring when it comes to food.
