Strawberry flavor and Melon flavor.

The bottles look different from the ones in your pic, but still very funky and very Japanese in the packaging. They are bottled locally here in Torrance, so this drink must not be hard to find. She also bought me a bottle of a weird drink called Calpico. It is mango flavor and has a Hello Kitty on the label. It looks awesome.

With the exception of Pearl Harbor, chain smoking, standing too close, and Sanyo, why is everything that Asians do so rad?

btw, I love a lot of the yogurt drinks they have in Japan.

What you call "Calpico" is actually "Calpis" but they changed the name for export because it sounds like "Cow Piss".

Calpis is not my favorte yogurty-drink. I like the much richer ones. Calpis can be consumed hot or cold. I like it cold.

You've never sent an admin to go run an errand for you?

I made it fun for her. I paid for her energy drinks.

My goodness, you are a heckuva nice guy. I am sure all the "admins" love you.

So check these babies out. First, note the attractive packaging. I included an arrow to indicate where the glass marble is housed. You cannot see it, but trust me, it is there.

Once you remove the plastic wrapper, you must disassemble a small plastic component that will then be used to dislodge the glass marble. I havent used any Burt's Bees for my cuticles lately, so instead of subjecting you all to that, I simply used a pair of chopsticks to illustrate how the plunger will be depressed, thereby dislodging the marble. The result is a cool noise not dissimilar to opening up a normal can of soda.

You can see that the marble has been dislodged and rests in the indentation within the neck of the bottle. If you do not hold the bottle correctly, the glass marble rolls back up to the mouth of the bottle and acts as a plug, impeding the free flow of beverage. It is awesome!

I found strawberry to be refreshing and light. It is not syrupy, so even if you are not a big soda fan, you can enjoy these. Very cool suggestion and a fun way to get your 6 oz on.

Are you questioning my top shelf tastes?

I believe they're referring to Blanton's with the "premium cocktail" line. It's a bit confusing as they're inserted descriptions of three other bourbons in the middle of the page for Buffalo Trace.

They really are admins. No need to use quotes.

My admin and I get along swimmingly.

You should have taken a picture before you depressed the marble. Stupid.
