Kirin Pungency

I came across a new beverage today: Kirin Pungency... wait a minute. Pungency. I thought that word meant stink or bad odor. It's impossible that such a large and successful company would release a product with such a ridiculous name, it must be my misunderstanding. So I looked it up on the Oxford English dictionary website.

Definition: having a sharply strong taste or smell: the pungent smell of frying onions.

Ironically, the drink is more or less the same as Royal Milk Tea. It's not strong tasting or strong smelling at all. Not in the least! You'd think that someone there at the company would have thought to argue against naming a beverage Pungency for the same reasons I'm mentioning now. Guess not.
