ramune (4)
Recently-punched marble, all fizzy.
This is Ramune, a Japanese soft-drink (wiki here - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramune). I've seen anime characters drink this stuff, and I finally got my hands on a bottle when I bought the dorayaki. It tastes like Sprite or 7up. From what I understand, "Ramune" is how the Japanese phonetically say "lemonade." I like the way it's packaged more than I like the taste though... it comes sealed with a little clear marble at the top, and you have to punch out the marble to drink it. Then the marble gets caught in the neck, and you have to drink it a certain way to keep the marble from getting in the way. There's no threat of the marble getting loose or choking, it just sits in the opening and blocks the drink flow. I think it's neat. ^_^
