Power for Apple Ramune gift set 8 variety pack (Original Version) Pack of 2

I'd never had this soda before. When I informed some friends, they both asked, "Oh, are they the ones with the glass marbles?" I was perplexed, what marbles? Then I ran into the trouble of, How the heck do I open this? My advice, figure it out without getting help. Read the instructions on the bottle or just experiment. I never used a bottle such as this one, so opening for my first time is a really nice memory. Scared me quite a bit and made me laugh for several seconds. I'm very happy with this purchase and cannot wait to try these again!

I didn't get all of the exact flavors listed, but I got some really interesting ones like Champagne, Yuzu, Banana, and Blueberry.

A little spendy for an eight pack of flavored fizzy drinks, but my 11 year old daughter loves these so I bought them for her as a special treat. At around $2.80/drink, it's about the same as what we pay at sushi restaurants, so I'd say the Amazon price is average.The bottles came very well-packaged, in plenty of bubble wrap to cushion their trip and double-boxed for extra protection.Good flavor, plenty of taste and carbonation. Neat marble stopper you have to push down with a special opener to enjoy the nectar.

For any of you who are familiar with these Ramune soft drinks and their peculiar bottles, you know that some of these are just average, whilst some of them, like the lychee flavored drink are just delicious. I ordered these for my daughter because she has been interested in trying foreign snacks and goodies as of late, and I think these make a wonderful and unique gift for anyone who likes to drink soda. One final thing for your information... these unique soda bottles are not like typical American soda bottles and they do not open by means of a pull tab, a screw off platic cap nor a twist off or pry off bottle cap or even a cork. These small Ramune soft drink bottles open by mean of popping down a pressurized glass marble inside the mouth of the bottle, utilizing the plastic bottle cover/opener that comes with every bottle. These bottles are not easily opened by adults, much less by children and it can be tedious and annoying attempting to open these drinks until you get the hang of it. If you have sensitive, weak, injured hands arthritis or other hand issues, it will be difficult or impossible to open one of these drinks, so just keep that in mind when you purchase these. I personally use a small, medium weight tool in conjunction with the included plastic bottle opener to help me pop the marble down into the bottle. (You cannot accidentally swallow the marble, as it is safely held in place by design.)

Tasted a little flat but after leaving them in the fridge they tasted tons better, a bit pricey though, at the store you can get a pack of 14 original flavored ones for about 15 dollars

I purchased these as fun stocking stuffers. Not being soda drinkers, the kids really enjoyed the uniqueness of opening the bottle and having a marble in it. I'm not sure why, but these stay fresh for a longer time than any other soda I've tried. These arrived wrapped securely, with fun different flavors.

Arrived quickly and very well packaged. My kids love this drink. I'm not sure if it's because of the unique bottle or if it's the taste. Our favorite is the original flavor which I'm told is similar to Sprite.

I wish I took pictures before my son drank it all up lol. He loves these. The flavors are really good and the bottle is really fun (push plastic piece down and glass ball inside creates bubbles). It's fun to drink and tastes great!
