Aiming to attract young and health-conscious consumers, PepsiCo introduced “Pepsi Special” in Japan yesterday, a high-fiber drink that contains the water-absorbing substance dextrin, which the company claims will help reduce body fat. What do you think?

“About time. I’m sick of drinking Pepsi Decent.”

“I bet this is one of those scams where they make it seem healthy by making the serving size really small, like 24 ounces.”
