Heylo my friends! I am some dump American who lives in Japan (Osaka specifically, it's a cool place). Japan tends to have a lot of competition when it comes to drinks/snacks for some reason. I'm not sure why but it's just the way it is. Wild stuff. But guess what? I'm going to try to share this wild and wacky experience (crazy, I know) with you; the posting audience! Wow! Out of control I know. Please contribute in whatever way you see fit (just don't be too mean please, I am fragile like a Faberge egg). First up: I saw a drink called Sweet Kiss. It has been more than a second since somebody kissed me smack on the lips and made them sweet (I am not very cool, shocking I know). It was alright. Better than I expected since it was made by a soft drink company here that tends to make pretty cheap drinks. An American I know here said it tastes like Mountain Dew. I may have been here too long because to me it tastes like a sweeter version of a lemon flavored soda here that I'm very fond of called C.C. Lemon. https://imgur.com/a/7BUNzjQ |

Next up: Apple Coca-Cola. Despite my facial expression it actually wasn't awful. It tastes like...a mixture of apple and Coca-Cola. Freakishly so. I need to find weirder poo poo. If you know of anything let me know! I'm a glutton for punishment! |

Next up a Halloween alcoholic beverage: Neon Green! It's only 3% alcohol by volume. It's supposed to be lemon liquor and Chardonnay. Let's see what's up! Okay well, despite the name it's not THAT green. Taste profile is incredibly cloyingly sweet. Also some lemon I guess. |

If I knew about it I wouldn't just broadcast that on the internet! Hugh Malone posted:i like this thread, please do more! Oh yeah. There are a ton of different Kit Kats. The most recent was lemons and sea salt from a certain area of Japan. Also recently they released chestnut as well as sweet potato kit kats for the fall! I'll try and be on the look out for more stuff! I went to the convenience store but I didn't see anything too wild.

SweetWillyRollbar posted:Ramune? Smash the bottle. "Since children smashed the bottles to retrieve the marbles, vintage bottles are relatively scarce and have become collector items, particularly in the UK. A cobalt coloured Codd-neck bottle can fetch hundreds of British pounds at auction. Bilas, a company in Portugal, created a soda named after the bottle design (Pirulito). However, the marble inside did not seal the liquid. Instead it was a normal cap which could be removed without breaking the bottle. Codd-neck bottles are still used for the Japanese soft drink Ramune and the Indian drink Banta."

I did it I have drunk it before. I said I never would again but God damnit! I do it for you! That's right! I'm going to drink Lifesaver energy drink (with royal jelly). For you! Here goes! Friends. It is so bad. It is like if Smarties was a soda. Please, don't drink it. I appreciate their support of the LGBT+ community I guess but, as much as I hate to say it. As much as it pains me. Oh God. It is awful. |

Yeah those are rockets, I don't care what heresy the US put on their labels. Also I always thought red bull tasted like liquid rockets. Also they were made in my home town during prime trick or treating years so there was always an endless, endless supply of them. You'd be eating rockets well into the new year.
