Weird drink.

So, let's me tell all y'all about this weird drink I obtained. It's Japanese. Now, we all all know that the Japanese are wacky, what with their giant robots and whatnot, but this drink, the name of which is absolutely unknown to me, is just plain crazy. See, the opening of the bottle is blocked by a marble, and to get at the liquidy goodness contained therein, one must push the marble into the bottle. They even include a little pink marble pusher with the bottle, to ease your marble pushing. It's crazy! Now, it's a carbonated soda, so the marble pushing will also create an impressive little explosion for all to enjoy. And if you turn the bottle over, the marble gets lodged in the hole, creating what is essentially a hampster's water bottle, only under pressure due to the carbonation. It's zany! And the weirdest part of all, the thing that could actually surprise me after all the marble madness, the drink doesn't taste horrible! I know I assumed it would, as most gimmick drinks do. But no! According to the ingredients, all there is is three types of sugar, and some citric acid. And sugar. And they don't mention the carbonated water, but whatever. If I had to describe the flavor, it would be like Sprite, but turned down a bit. Not so overpowering a flavor, because Sprite, see, that's a powerful flavor.

I like it. Mostly for the bottle, but the soda ain't bad. Three bucks for a 6.6 ounce drink isn't exactly frugal, but it's worth getting once. If you want it, just go to your nearest Suncoast video, or wherever it is you buy Pocky. You know, the place where all the anime idiots go, the kids who think Japanese culture is cool because the cartoons have blood and nudity in them. Follow them to Pocky. Follow Pocky to marble drink. Follow marble drink to happiness.
