To be honest, the flavor is not particularly remarkable. It's the bottle that is fun, esp. for the kids. These bottles used to be common in Britain, but stopped using them. Now the old ones are collector items, because most of them were broken by kids wanting the marble.

I think your kids would get a kick out of drinking from them, just like I did when I was young.

Let me know which flavor you like the best.

OK, I have them in hand (sent my admin instead of waiting).

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.

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.

Ask and ye shall receive. Don't forget, I had a strawberry AND a melon.

A view of plastic wrap with plastic decompression kit still intact.

An arial view of glass marble, still lodged in the neck of the bottle.

Very good Triplet. Dang, now you've made me want to buy a couple.

How much are they? At the store I bought them, they were $1per.

I gave my admin a $20.

She bought me 2 Ramune, 1 Cowpiss, and 2 energy drinks for herself.

She gave me $5 in change.

My guess....they cost about $1.50.
