I think a pomelo is something similar to a grapefruit, but larger).
A day without your favourite soft drink! Can you just imagine that? The non alcoholic drinks have become a part of our day to day diet. Soft drinks have spread their fizzy energy with the growing web of globalisation. In this scenario find out the best and popular soft drinks that quench world's taste.
The carbonated drink Irn Bru replaces many bottles with its eccentric bright orange colour and unique citrus taste. This Scottish made drink also comes up with a caffeine taste in it. Even though widely used as a mixer with alcoholic drinks as vodka and whiskey; Irn Bru has the reputation as an excellent curator for hangover.
Cherry Coke- the cherry flavoured version of Coca-Cola is simply the classic taste of coca-cola with the addition of cherry flavouring. The cherry taste is an aftertaste than an overpowering one. This unique drink comes in the normal as well as the diet version. Even though blamed for too much sugar and caffeine content, cherry coke is well tasted for its refreshing and thirst quenching spirits.
The rich bold flavour of Dr Pepper captured its lovers' taste buds with a unique taste. Dr Pepper is made with an authentic blend of 23 flavours. The tasters of Dr Pepper also enjoy the creative clear bottle with the dark red wrapper and white labels around it. Even though blamed for stickiness and rotting teeth, the unique taste of Dr Pepper grabs the thirsty tongues.
Coca Cola makers have an additional asset to the world's best soft drinks. It is none other than Fanta Fruit Twist. Unlike other fizzy drinks, Fanta Fruit Twist flavoured with orange, peach and passion fruit is valued for its nutritional values also. Even though Fanta Fruit Twist loses its fizz very fast, it rules the list of sugary drinks.
Nesquik Milk Shake Mix found its way to the world's most popular and best soft drinks list for being the only syrup to make your own milk shakes. It is available in three most common milkshake flavours as chocolate strawberry and banana. This exceptional mix has high nutritional content as calcium, riboflavin, b2 and b12. This sugary syrup ultimately gives you the power to control your milkshakes.
When American companies introduce products tailored for foreign tastes, we often experience discomfiting culture shock. Sort of like when homer simpson uses his toaster time machine to go back 10 million years, steps on a slug, and then comes back to an oddly different world. Maybe that really did happen, and sprinfield is now Tokyo!
Exhibit A: Pepsi Ice Cucumber, introduced to the Japanese soft drinks market and Pepsi vending machines on June 12th (2007) and to our Top Ten Bizarre Japanese soft drinks listing immediately thereafter. Pepsi? Good... Cucumbers? Great! Cucumber-flavored Pepsi? DOH!!
Kimchee, for those unacquainted, is a traditional Korean dish made from fermented cabbage and LOTS of red pepper. Makes Peach flavored Coolpis almost appealing, doesn't it? Anyone for a Calpis vs. Coolpis taste test? We could call it a pis-ing contest.
I shudder to think of the scene inside one of the manufacter's factories... those poor farmgirls, milkmaids or what have you, shackled up to cold, pitiless machines that never, ever stop... and then I woke up.
blood orange juice or blueberry juice is supposed to solve that problem, but we remain skeptical. At least you can splash some on the salad
No way to know if drinking a Final Fantasy Potion soft drink will restore your health, energy level - or make you invulnerable. Kids, don't try this at hamoe! (via japan newbie)
idsbeer used to be a normal, average soda called Guarana until 2003, when restaurant owner Yuichi Asaba renamed the bubbly brew "Kidsbeer" and watched sales go through the roof. Normally, some sort of government watchdog would step in at this point and read Asaba the riot act, but nope. Encouraged, Asaba farmed out production to the Tomomasu company, who made it less sweet, more frothy - more beer-like, if truth be told - and introduced brown bottles with labels resembling those of early Japanese beers.Still the government watchdog slept on (or maybe it's drunk and passed out), so naturally other beverage, soft drink and soda makers scrambled to get a piece of the near-beer action. sangaria took one look at Kidsbeer's skyrocketing sales and decided to go one better: wine and sparkling wine for kids! Their product website is jaw-dropping in its audacity - and nicely done as well. Wanna be like mommy & daddy, kids? Drink Kidsbeer, the Little Prince of Beers!
And that wraps up our list of the Top Ten Bizarre Japanese Soft Drinks, although we've saved up enough dishonorable mentions to form the better part of a follow-up list. Japan sure is a wonderful place, but it's far from home in more ways than just travel time.
Barkeep, a frosty Kidsbeer for my friend - in a jelly glass!
