Kudzu is pictured on the cover of the rock band R.E.M.'s first album in 1983. Three other southern rock bands use the name kudzu.

There is an energy drink made with the juice of kudzu.

In summer, kudzu vines can grow up to a half meter in a single day! There is even a horror movie about this fast-growing invader, "Kurse of the Kudzu Kreature."
