Japan is slated for some new, interesting flavors from Coke and Pepsi. Coca-Cola Plus Catechin will have a green tea influence, while Pepsi Shiso sports a basil-inspired taste. These fit in line with other recent oddities from the Land of the Rising Sun, including Pepsi Ice Cucumber, Pepsi Blue Hawaii, and Pepsi White.

Another Super Bowl has come and gone, and with it, a whole new batch of high-profile commercials. Given that we're a beverage reviewing site, I'd like to take a look at the non-alcoholic drink ads that graced our TVs during the matchup between the Cardinals and Steelers. We've done detailed analysis on each of these ads individually, but here's a quick overview…

BevReview.com takes a look at the beverage-related Super Bowl commercials. This Coke commercial — part of the new "Open Happiness" campaign — features a bunch of bugs trying to steal a bottle from a guy in a park. Lots of CGI and a cheery music score make this a happy spot.

BevReview.com takes a look at the beverage-related Super Bowl commercials. This spot for Coke "shows how people in today's busy world use technology to stay virtually linked", but it also showcases how two people connect over high fructose corn syrup-sweetened goodness, while sitting in a diner that doesn't exist on Earth, using straws (seriously, straws?) to drink out of glass bottles that Coke doesn't even use in mainstream distribution.

Full Throttle Blue Demon is a berry-flavored extension in Coke's energy drink lineup, which also features the original Full Throttle and orange-flavored Full Throttle Fury. The initial taste was strong and rather good, but the flavor just seemed to die out after that, leaving a washed out berry aftertaste.
