Yesterday I started my "Environmental-Friendly Take-Away"
As the grand opening, I "dabao" vegetarian food as my lunch!
I guess it was a good start for "Eat less meat" campaign. If I manage to eat more than 2 vegetarian meals in a week, then i might be able to update my Green Checklist. HEHE
so those who haven buy one, what are you waiting for? Spread the Green!

Same day, (yesterday)
We also officiated another grand opening for a newly bought drink last week.
We met with a promoter saying that this is a new drink in market~ So, we tried~
(as usual, we can't resist the curiosity towards new stuff) despite being the white lab rat;
we still need to pay RM3.00 for this small little bottle of drink (ONLY 200ml)
What is it? Brand New - Ramune (Glass Ball Soda Drink!)

Ramune - was introduced in 1876 at Kabe, Japan. The word is derived phonetically from English, Lemonade. It is widely known for the distinctive design of its bottle made of glass and sealed with a marble. The marble is pushed inside the neck of the bottle where it rattles around while drinking. People trying Ramune for the first time somwtimes find it challenging to drink, as it takes practice on how to stop the marble from blocking the flow.
弹珠汽水在1876年起源于神户,日本。
其特殊的包装方式是用一颗玻璃珠封口,瓶颈两侧凹入,要喝时将弹珠压入,使之掉落在瓶颈处即可饮用。许多人喝弹珠汽水相当受挫,因为仰头要喝时,弹珠会卡住瓶口,这需要一些技巧。
(description stated in the brochure)

dang dang dang dang ! This is the look of the new drink!
It's a product by Glinter. I guess u might heard about their mineral water (with nice bottle design) A little bit like kanak kanak drink thought the glass bottle color is like Heneiken or Carlberg. Probably is because of the design. But most japanese style drink also give such feelings.

A well designed brochure!

However, with poor instruction.
It only stated there "Break, Shake, Push, Enjoy"
It ended up "Break, Shake, Shit, Push, Shit, Enjoy"
Really lousy. (Malaysia still need to improve on their instruction signboard, leftlet or whatever)
Why "shit"? When you Shake, the thing start become "tense" (highly carbonated)
When you "push", another super "shit", you will witness a LIVE whale in fron of you.
The drink spilled all over on my table. (Originally, it wasn't suppose to be on my table. I sendir gatal wanna take photo. 干!) Then should be how?
I found a more useful instruction online (just in case any of you want to try this drink. Screw the Glinter's instructions and follow this)
(!important part!: Push down hard and keep a tight grip)

most important part, is it nice to drink?
I feel that the taste wasn't bad at all, a new fresh taste~ (not like 7-up, not like sprite, not like Heneiken either. explore yourself) But, one thing for sure, the carbonate gas is damn superb!
Just a little bottle of 200ml can give you a few "burps" after drink~
Believe it or not, try it yourself.
Learn a new culture through food! Happi!~ nice try~
Ohya, and i read the label, there is NO FAT in this drink. (good for diet-ing ladies)

Japan Creativity~
