+====== Ramune ======
+Ramune is a Japanese Soda that was introduced in 1884, according to Wikipedia((:ref:>[[wp>Ramune]])). The drink comes in many flavors, but what makes it particularly interesting is the design of the bottle, which is sealed using a marble.
+===== Review =====
+I first learned of Ramune through [[lb:Danganronpa]] interestingly enough, where it's available as a gift item. My first encounter with Ramune was when I started to live in Denmark as part of my studies, and I noticed the supermarkets in the area were selling Ramune. Since then I've been a big fan of Ramune, with it easily becoming my favorite carbonated drink.\\
+Opening the bottle is a core part of the Ramune experience, and is always fun in some way. I often find myself enjoying opening the bottle more than drinking from it...although this depends on the particular flavor of Ramune((:fn:>As of now, my favorite flavor is Blueberry, and I do not care for Melon.)). You see, the bottle is sealed with a marble! Isn't that cool! How many drinks can you name that come in a bottle like this huh?\\
+Unfortunately, the bottles are not easy to reseal and removing the marble isn't either. Of the bottles I've been able to get my hands on, most had a cap that wasn't removable. Strangely, the ones that had a removable cap were screwed-on counter-clockwise((:fn:>Meaning that, to remove the cap, you had to turn the cap clockwise, rather than the standard counter-clockwise.)) which ended up confusing me for about an hour as I was trying to unscrew the cap from bottles where that wasn't possible. My attempts to figure out how to remove the cap led me to collect bottles until I could properly figure it out (so as to get to the marbles).((:fn:>Although I have since gotten rid of them (without recovering the marbles), at one point there were around 45 empty bottles sitting on my desk.)) One of my methods was to use a knife to cut into the cap, but this was too much effort for too little reward.
