Second, the taste of watermelon. It's hard to imagine what watermelon-flavored cola looks like, and according to Japanese tradition, this cola will have a slight salty taste. The color of watermelon cola is brownish red compared with that of ordinary cola, and it will look better when poured into a cup.
Third, the taste of cucumber. If you have eaten cucumber-flavored potato chips, you should be able to know what kind of strange painting style cucumber will bring, which can't be expressed in words. Cucumber-flavored cola is blue-green, which is more dreamy in the sun, but its taste is not as sweet as ordinary cola.
PepsiCo's pigment storm:
The report of a health organization in the United States once again pushed Pepsi and Coca-Cola into the caramel color storm.
According to the Center for Environmental Health of the United States, Pepsi-Cola purchased in 10 states in the United States contains 4- methylimidazole (4-MEI), a chemical related to lung cancer in rodents. In fact, since the agency released a report at the beginning of 20 1 1 that the caramel pigments of Pepsi and Coca-Cola contain carcinogen 4- methylimidazole, this matter has been puzzling the two beverage companies ever since.
As early as the report was released, both companies denied that it contained carcinogens. Earlier, the head of public relations in China District of Coca-Cola said in an interview with the reporter of China Business News (Weibo) that "a small amount of 4- methylimidazole exists in a large number of foods and drinks, which usually forms 4- methylimidazole when browning occurs during cooking."
PepsiCo has always insisted that its products are safe, and said, "The US Food and Drug Administration and other global regulatory agencies, including the European Food Safety Agency and Health Canada, believe that caramel pigment in our food and beverages is safe."
