Suntory's -196˚C Strong Zero Giga Lemon

With their Double Lemon flavor, -196˚C Strong Zero created an extra lemony version of their popular standard Lemon flavor. This was already quite lemony. But now it looks like Suntory has crated an even stronger lemon drink. If you're the kind of lemon-head who enjoyed sour candies as a kid, the kind of lemon-lover who could handle the most acidulated foods and sweets, this may finally be the answer to your prayers. Move over Double, here comes Giga Lemon!

According to their press release, Suntory's -196˚C Strong Zero Giga Lemon tastes just like "biting into a whole lemon," and has 1.7 times the lemon strength of their Double Lemon flavor.
