In November of 2011, Pepsi put out a limited-edition, strawberry-milk-flavored soda in Japan. The soda itself was pink, hence the name, and tasted a lot like strawberry-flavored cream soda. 

This coffee-flavored cola never made a proper debut after flopping so hard during the testing phase on both American coasts. 

Japan was blessed with this green, cucumber-flavored soda in the summer of 2007. It kind of looks like Listerine, but it apparently had a very subtle flavor.   

In March of 2016, this cherry-blossom-flavored Pepsi was released in Japan. It had floral notes and was literally bright pink.

Released in the summer of 2008 in Japan, this soda was a pineapple- and lemon-flavored concoction that looked a lot like the original Pepsi Blue from the U.S. (so, radioactive), but tasted very different.

This white-sapote-flavored soda was released in the summer of 2011 in Japan. The thing was that no one really knew what a sapote fruit tasted like at the time, so they couldn't really tell if it was legit or not.

In 2008, yogurt-flavored soda officially became a thing in Japan. It was a slightly milky-looking soda that came in a clear plastic bottle, and has had a few additional short-term releases since (once with a mandarin orange flavor).  

Crystal Pepsi, which was on the market from 1992-1993, was possibly Pepsi's most famous weird release. It even made a recent but limited comeback due to popular demand. Fun fact: This soda was actually developed as a result of an early '90s marketing fad that equated clear products with purity, which began when Ivory Soap released their first clear soap.

Pepsi Holiday Spice was a limited-edition release from 2004's holiday season, available only in the U.S. and Canada. It didn't do so well, though there are still some cult followers around longing for it to be reintroduced. Apparently in 2015, an unopened 2-liter bottle sold for $50 on eBay. 

Pepsi released a limited-edition azuki (AKA sweet red bean)-flavored soda in 2009. It was met with mixed reactions, to say the least, with some people even saying it smelled "like barf."

Shiso leaf is a popular ingredient in Japan, with hints of citrus, mint, and basil used in both sweet and savory cooking. In the summer of 2009, Pepsi released a limited-edition run of a shiso-flavored soda, met with mixed reactions.

This version of the soda from 2002 was berry-flavored, and was designed to compete with Vanilla Coke. Considering that it actually tasted like cotton candy, it's no wonder it didn't last long. 

This flavor was released in Japan for a limited time only in June of 2012. It's not uncommon there for people to eat watermelon sprinkled with salt in the summer, so this one isn't as outrageous as it may seem, when you think about it. 

Flavored like the baobab tree's sweet fruit (said to taste like a tart sherbet when eaten fresh), this was released as a limited edition in Japan in 2010. Apparently it tasted very citrusy, and the soda itself was a golden color. 

This limited-edition soda is a cinnamon-flavored concoction that's currently available in quite a few countries, including Thailand, Mexico, Singapore, and Vietnam. Soon it'll be hitting American shelves, and causing a lot of arguments on the internet.

In October of 2015 in Japan, Pepsi released a bunch of bottles with ghosts on the packaging, identifying them as "mystery flavors." There were actually 14 different flavors among the bottles, which made for an interesting game of roulette for customers. 

With flavors like mint, lemon, and cola, it's pretty obvious why Pepsi mojito isn't still a big hit. But in the summer of 2009, it was met with a frenzy during its limited-edition run. 

This dragonfruit-flavored soda was released in 2012 in partnership with the X Factor TV show, which Pepsi was actually the official sponsor for. It flopped quickly, along with the show.
