(Newser) – Get skinny by drinking ... Pepsi? Maybe. Pepsi-Cola has introduced a fat-blocking soda in Japan, ABC News reports, though we have to wonder if it will turn out like those "toning shoes." The "Pepsi Special," which goes on sale tomorrow, contains dextrin—a fiber that supposedly helps to reduce fat levels.

Ah Japan, home of zero calorie jello for the anorexic girl who needs something to put in her stomach so she feels full. Also available with vitamins so she doesn't die of malnutrition as quickly.
