In India in this exact same bottle with marble it is sold for less than 0.1$ 🤣
@@Goat_edit25 Interesting. All of the examples of India bottles I can find are more of a traditional Codd bottle. The Japanese version of the bottle has a special socket that the marble snaps into. The marble is also tougher to release and that is why they include the plunger. The traditional Codd bottle out of London that India uses you can press the marble down with your finger much easier. As far as cost, it varies. You can find these bottles in our local cheap big box stores like Walmart, but the Japanese restaurant tend to charge more for them.
"Ramune" (ラムネ) is a popular Japanese carbonated soft drink. The word "ramune" is pronounced as "rah-moo-neh" in Japanese. The "ra" syllable is pronounced with a rolled "r" sound, and the "u" in "mune" is pronounced with a short "oo" sound. In English, the word is often pronounced with the stress on the first syllable like "RAH-moon" or "rah-MOO-nee," but the Japanese pronunciation is closer to "rah-moo-neh."
f off if u arent gonna answer in one vid

In India, it is popularly known as goti soda. Reason for the glass marbles was to maintain uniform co2 pressure inside the bottle. The marble lifts up only at certain pressure. it helps the manufacture to maintain constant pressure in each bottle without the help of any sophisticated pressure machine.
I was about to type the same thing...so glad to see this😊
Yeah its called Goli soda and it tastes very good

my Dad said he used to smash open lemonade bottles for the marbles, nice to know Japan still makes them.

That is a Codd bottle. Designed in England in 1872. The method of opening is thought to be the origin of the word 'codswallop'.
I thought you was making stuff up but you're actually right about all that...
I didn't even know codswallop was a word
Obviously because of proximity to England you do find a lot of them in Irish rivers and like 2 canals that were used to transport goods. love them so cool!
My teacher told me about this in primary school about 30 years ago.
I was looking for this comment.
I've still got all the marbles I collected from the Victorian tip I'd dig in
The answer is simple! So it doesn't sprinkle all over the place when shaken or bumped while transported, the marble will resist the plastic pieces (or sometimes your thumb) so you'd know that there's over pressure in it.
And even if you managed to drop the marble and break the seal the pressure will raise it up again to re-seal it.
A Japanese gentleman once told me that when I was stationed in Okinawa.
"they used this style for bottle tops because it does bottle top things"
It will still sprinkle all over the place when bumped or shaken, the bottle would have to be tipped over for the marble to block the hole. An actual cap would actually prevent the sprinkling and spilling
@@scutifr the pressure will raise the marble to block the hole, you're right if it wasn't carbonated beverage but it won't sprinkle if it wasn't.
@@MrUNCLESAM84 gotcha. Although I still don’t see how the pressure would be enough to raise the ball into the hole immediately before liquid gets there, I will take your word for it because I don’t have experience with this type of bottle
@@scutifr me neither sir I've never tried it before I was told by a Japanese gentleman whom I would think knows about it more than I do. You do have a point to be honest I don't know how much pressure would be required to lift up the marble to seal the hole.
Now you just gave me enough reason to make a trip to the Asian market to buy a couple of these bottles and perform an experiment 😂.
Thank you and have a great day.
It's called "Goli Soda" in Tamil, Malayalam, Kannada and Telugu 😅 we just pop open 'em with our fingers 😂😂
Aambala soda
In telugu also
@@girirajrdx7277 😂😂😂😂
that's nasty
@@user-gd1ch8nb2b he means we pop the marble with hand
The marble seal bottle is actually older than the cap top bottle. The marble seal originated in europe and was brought to japan. The Japanese continued to use the marble seal rather than switching to the bottle cap because of Japan's shortage of metal
Similar type bottles were used here in Australia, in the 1800s, very collectable now, and worth good money
Same in NZ, had a few
Thank you for delivering what this short Couldn't...
That’s why some place called soda pop
@@IsraelFundedEpstein attributing things to wypipo is considered rayciss these days
As an American I can say that I have had one of these before and its the most fun to open out of all the sodas I've had
Melon is my favorite I drink those sodas hella
@John John the melon one was so good it's just expensive
I've tried them too. But I don't have the physical strength to open one due to my disability. So I try and avoid those as much as possible.
I’ve had plenty in a couple states and the grape one is the best by far
these marbles are better for sling shots than industrial spray can marbles cuz the soda marbles are proper spheres.
I think the answer to the question is, “corporate told us we are NOT allowed to give customers an IQ test prior to buy our products.” then the designer said “hold my beer” 😂
I've honestly never met someone who opens them like this they just push the glass down with their thumb
And the designers beer was safe because nobody know how to drink from it.

Its the most popular and street basic soda in India during summer.. Called Banta Bottle
Just for people other than Asian here! These bottles are locally called in India as "Goli Soda" as Goli means the marble the creater is talking about. In our country we usually press the marble into the bottle using the finger as it was so fun to do. 😅
I am guessing the Goli Bottles are made very similarly to the Codd bottle that was invented in London. The marble presses up against a gasket creating a seal. The bottles in the video have a socket that the marble snaps into, making it rather difficult to press out with your fingers. I did a follow up video regarding the history of the bottle and the link can be found in the pinned comment.
@@1D10CRACY Actually we can push that marble into the bottle if we press the marble hardly inside. It's a fun activity we do everyday in our city. If you are ever in India ask for a goli soda and you'll be surprised people pressing it using thumb
The Goli Bottles look pretty cool for sure! The only Codd style bottle I could find in the states were the ones in the video, a bit of a modern knockoff. I checked some of our import grocery stores before I did the second video, but had no luck at finding them.
Tablet Soda🤣
I've always heard it being called a banta soda.
you can have a master degree just in opening this bottle 💀
This is just local goli soda you find in Indian villages, its just that Japanese have a plastic contraption to open while here we use just fingers
Because that is how bottles used to be back in the day. It was once very common.
Another fun fact, Ramune is romaji for Lemonade.
@ArmaDelLion Lemonida Grande
Bruhh I never realized.
I love when that happens lol. Is it right to refer to this as "Ramune" or is "Lemonade" more correct? Or is "ラムネ" the only correct way to say this?
@Chris D - It was based on the drink Lemonade served when Commodore Perry 'visited' Japan. A few years later a German merchant opened the first Soda company in Japan and named the brand being sold "Ramune" from the 'Engrish' word that the Japanese use in referring to the American drink.
That Soda company is now gone, the word Ramune became a Generic word to this old time style soda, whatever the flavor.
it should have been remonedu, sounds more like lemonade
The bottle itself was specially engineered to allow for the bottle to be open- while dealing with the pressure that was created by the inside of the bottle. At the time, it was a great invention- and today, is still awesome- as it can be ‘resealed’ by shaking the bottle (creating pressure with the soda, forcing the marble back into the original position).
I’m pretty sure it’s not just used for Japanese soda- and I think it was invented somewhere in Europe.
Cool bottle though- I’m glad you took an interest in them.
This type of bottle is common in India. They contain club soda. The people usually use their finger to open the bottle. It is commonly called soda bottle.
Yes in my area it's only 5 rupees per bottle

@@awkwardgamervrn4827 I believe them to be speaking facetiously. Sarcasm is difficult to pick up by those of low intellect.
I was so mad. I thought I was just twisted on too tight and ended up breakin the whole damn bottle tryna open it
@@TheStr8tshooter a genuine reply to a sarcastic comment is not a reliable indication of someone missing the sarcasm
Fun fact: the name "ramune" is just "lemonade" nativised into Japanese and then written in Latin characters (Japanese doesn't have an 'L' sound, so is replaced with 'r' hence ramune)
Makes sense ra-mu-ne sounds close to lemonade in engrish
"then written in Latin characters"
Technically yes, but it literally has ラムネ on the front. ラムネ is the name, and it's transliterated into Latin script for convenience
Oooooooooh snap, godzirra makes so much sense now lol
@@AubreyLavigne thats interesting, do you know why they didnt use レ? Like is it a full on loan word like ェィゴ? Guess it would make sense then.
@@Fisherminer probably because "ramun" actually sounds closer to "lemon" than "ray-mun"/"remun". Also words often don't survive being borrowed into another language fully intact. Like, i know the name "John" is often written as "jon"/"ジョン", (sounds like "Joan") over "Jan"/"ジャン", which sounds closer
Had one for the 2nd time in my life this summer, strawberry is my sister's favorite flavor when I sent her one back home in Mexico.

Congrats.
Are the bottles and marbles reusable?
@@ZoltarrtheDestroyer sure you can reuse them, but it won’t re-seal anything unpressurized.
Both we have alot of flavors here in japan but its much easier to find
In India we call it Goli soda. Goli means glass marble. This was our childhood paradise drink.
Loved the loud whistles-like sound it made when the bottle was opened.

Fun Fact:
Ramune is actually the invention of Scottish Chemist named Alexander Cameron Sim, who created the drink as a medicine, basically selling sugar water to treat people with low energy. He soon saw that his drinks were becoming so popular that he decided to sell it as a Soda Drink.
He died in Kobe, Japan on the 28th November, 1900. He was actually the one who came up with the idea of the marbel in the drink bottle as well to stop it from spilling
Fun Fact, the bottle is a Codd Bottle. It was first patented in 1872 in London. Keep in mind, a patent does not mean invented. However Alexander Cameron Sim didn't start using the bottle until 1884. Also the marble does not prevent the bottle from spilling, we go over that in the video located in the pinned comments.

Imagine if the guy went to Japan not to associate with his nationality and after his death, people like you come up, find the facts and make portray him as the one thing he fought not to be remembered for LMFAO. That's just a made up story btw.
@@kprajgaming4419 🤡
That’s white people for you 🤣🤣
Back in the day(late 19th to early 20th century), this was pretty the only way to provide an airtight seal that wouldn't leak carbonation. As sealing methods got more advanced, they were able to start sealing bottles with metal caps with thin films underneath them which phased out three marble method of sealing in most of the world except for Japan and India.
The struggle I had with one of these before I realized I needed that plastic cap. I thought kids with the strength of Thor lived in Japan
It’s really not needed you just hit the marble with your palm
Hell I just jammed it with my car key, did the trick.
Some designs have that plastic thing attached to a plastic cap screwe to it. So you can pop marble in and then twist the cap off.
I feel for you my friend.
All of you here could have done it with your small Penises 🤣🤣🤣
For those wondering how it tastes: It's not bad. It's not as sweet and sugary as most sodas, but it's pretty good.
The strawberry flavor slaps
@@julesking1303 That's my favorite too, at least of the three flavors (original, orange, and strawberry) that I've tried so far.
Just tasted like sprite when i got ramune
"But," you say, as if that's somehow a negative.
@@julesking1303 the melon one is my fav, lichee is really good too
FUN FACT!
Most blue candy in America is blue raspberry flavored. Meanwhile most blue candy in Japan is ramune flavored.
Ramune is a specific flavor of soda, but the company also has other flavors such as grape, lychee, and melon.
Really? I thought it was called ramune because it was the Romaji way of saying lemonade and that's what that line started as. Well at least that's what a Japanese woman I know told me. Can't vouch.
Hm, I'm not sure. It might be, because I do know that soda in general was called ramune in the past. But now I just know it as the flavor and brand
I wish instead of bluerazz there was more just blueberry. Same with wishing there was more lime stuff than green apple. The standard flavors have gotten so tiresome, and I'm someone who only eats sweets like twice a year lol.

This used to be how soda was bottled in the old days. The reason why you can only pour from one side is because of table arrangement. Bottles are kept on one side and you dont wanna pick up someone else's bottle and pour into yours. Especially if they have different flavours
How in gods name did you know that. Excellent 👍
Wait what? How does only being able to pour from one side have to do with table arrangement? I feel like regardless of what side the bottle sits on, or whos you picked up, you would just spin it to pour out the right side, right? And how much you need to spin it would likely change every time the bottle was set back down anyways..?
table arrangement is wrong... it is to KEEP THE MARBLE from stoping the flow..
@@wirebug42 this bottle was used a looooong time ago. so u may wonder why they did certain things, but it was just how times were back then.
@@juliustaylor9920 lol. I was asking how the OP would know why they did it. You just helped make my point
Since no one seems to have clarified why the bottle design exists and only describes where it comes from, it exists to help keep the drink carbonated while the top is permanently open. The glass marble acts as some form of valve to regulate the release of gas from the bottle by restricting the airflow when you aren’t drinking it.
I would imagine that manufacturing standards are the reason. That given the materials and methods available, this was the cheapest way to go. That it was far easier create a marble within the tolerances necessary to seal the container, than any other medium. This created a seal that became stronger as the pressure it was under rose (to a point)... Yet could still be easily opened, once in that state.
I don't know if they ever tested it but that simply doesn't work
There is so much room around the ball for gas to escape...
dope thx
@@DoNotPushHereyeah that’s just bullshit. Once opened, the top is just as open as if there wasn’t any marble
Lmao no.
The soda itself is absolutely the best drink I've had in my life, and the bottles are so unique too. I got like 5 of these in China Town Chicago for my 7th grade field trip.
I love those sodas. They are all so very delicious, and it's fun to open them.
Fun fact, this is still how we serve soda in most of India!
We call it goli soda, meaning ball soda. We typically open it with our fingers instead of a special opener. You can put your thumb over the open and lever it in to break the seal.
We find it mostly being sold by street vendors with refrigerated carts who serve it with a mixture of herbs and spices to make what we call masala soda. It's very fun to watch and hear the pop, so it's especially popular for kids. I remember always asking for it as a kid when I saw the vendors.
Edit: it's sold with lime, so it's actually a lime soda. Forgot to mention that. Also, it's also called Banta Soda in other regions of India.
It's called Goli soda in Karnataka.... And we have 10 flavors
Spice Soda? Man that would make my stomach act up
@@kevinashbridge9638 it won't. It tastes quite good and refreshing.
Searching for this comment 😃🤝
@@109fr is it salty or sweet? Never heard of spicy soda tbh
It could be a way to reduce the amount of spilling if the bottle topples over giving you time to pick it up before making a huge mess.
I truly enjoy Japanese soda, a childhood drink
I'm my neighborhood we had a Japanese lady that owned a party store and about 1/2 the store was Japanese candy and soda, good times
Does it taste different? Is it more about the different flavors?
It’s more about the different flavors, and the drinking experience. Idk, I haven’t tried it for years, but I do know where to buy them (in my area at least).
Seafood City has them, but I’m sure you can find them in other places
@@jc1124 I remember a few tasty ones and few that tasted like wax kinda similar to trying random American sodas
I love these. Will have one on rare occasions
Fun fact, an English inventor created this bottle design called the Codd bottle, and then later a Scottish pharmacist by the name of Alexander Cameron Sim introduced ramune to Japan in 1884
The English guy was called Hiram Codd.
This is a neat resealable bottle too, once or twice. As long as you have pressure and the "key" you can reseal it 🤟

In the UK victorian glass versions of these are often dug up. They are called Codd bottles, nicknamed "codswallop bottles" and are usually made of pale green glass.
We have this in India as well from generations. It's called Banta, which literally translates to marbles balls. This was a way to preserve carbonation of water in the earlier days and it's one of the most refreshing drinks to have on a hot summer. Just pour some lemon juice and a bit of a chat masala in a glass and pour this drink into it. Do have it on a hot sunny day and it will refresh you from top to bottom. Cheers 🥂

It’s the original way soft drinks were packaged invented in England - codd bottle

my favourite sushi place in darmstadt germany has these in 3 different flavours. i love those drinks. sweet and tasty.
I remember buying one of these for the first time in middle school, and getting so frustrated with trying to open it that I just smashed it on the ground 😂
This was how soda was bottled before the use of the twist cap, I’m from Taiwan( used to be a Japanese colony) and a friend of mine’s family used to own a small soda business half a century ago,this is what their soda looks like. They still have the machine for it too.
I was just thinking that I have seen these in Taiwan before!
I wonder why this method was used first. Getting a marble in a bottle and securing it seems much more challenging than adding a screwcap
@@redhawkneofeatherman261 I actually wondered the same question before, here are three possible reasons:
1. The first Japanese soda (Ramune) was invented a few years before screw cap was invented.
2. The harder the carbonated soda is push the marble, the better the seal, so it’s a guaranteed perfect seal while the earlier screw caps might not be as effective.
3. Since both the marble and the bottle are made from glass, it’s easier to recycle and reuse, and because marble bottle aren’t that much more expensive to produce compared to screw caps( in smaller production) it’s actually more economical to do for a smaller business before the time of fully automatic mass production.
Worth every second because once you get it open, that is liquid heaven inside.
So in 11th grade one of my friends brought a bottle of ramune to school, and of course we were all fascinated, but we couldn’t figure out how to open it other than the peg had to go in the hole. We somehow skipped the part where the peg had to come off the rest of the lid, so we spent an unreasonable amount of time trying to push the whole thing back into the bottle. Eventually, I got the idea to take my heavy metal water bottle and proceed to hammer away at the thing before we realized “hey, maybe we shouldn’t smack a glass bottle really hard with the metal one”. I don’t even remember how we figured it out, but I remember that we eventually did.
The real kicker is that we were maybe 20-30ft from the teachers, who just kind of watched the whole thing, complete with the roughly five minutes of loud, metallic clanging.
Awesome teachers!!
Only the Japanese could produce something as beautifully complicated as this
I heard Ramune looks and is called such because it's based on how soft drink was in America, and Ramune is just the Japanese trying to say "lemonade"
Makes sense in a way since it’s actually pronounced “la-moo-nay”
Omg this makes so much sense now
That's lacist!
@@jackkraken3888 😂
Yup, that's actually true.
It's useful to have a drink that doesn't spill much most of the ways you turn it.
Exactly what I was thinking
I remember trying to drink out of these as a kid and just getting little dribbles. Never knew the poring technique
So many pores. 😂
Pouring?
Anyway the marble can also used to close the soda if you want to finish it later. Drink with the bottle bottom tilted up and when the flow is hindered by the marble then you stuck as hard as you can to pull the marble through. It’ll get stuck in the rubber portion of the opening
@@MimiYuYu you've never had these before or you'd know you cannot reseal it with the marble

I'm a Japanese guy who never knew about the indent thing. Thought it was just supposed to stop no matter what haha
😂❤
Same
As many other folks have pointed out, this type of bottle is abundantly available in India. It's known as "Goli" or "Kancha" Soda. Interestingly enough, you would rarely, if ever, find this in regular grocery stores or stroes in general. They are sold on the streets of the wooden push carts which are typical for Indian streets. They usually prepare a drink with this beverage by mixing it with lemon juice and a spice blend. Tasty stuff. Probably not the healthiest but definitely tasty.
Never say “Kancho” in Japan
@@MrRobuo benchoo l😂☕😂
@@MrRobuo yeah, just said "boku wa chinpo ga chisai".
Not unhealthy but ok
@@sivaambika8194 so it’s healthy?
This type of bottle was common in New Zealand in my grandparents time. It's called a Codd Neck bottle
I'm a kiwi & never knew that
OMG THANK U SO MUCH I WAS STRUGGLING SO MUCH! LOL
YOU ARE WELCOME! THIS VIDEO WAS CLEARLY MADE TO HELP YOU! IT WASN'T JUST A VIDEO MADE TO SHARE THE UNIQUE BOTTLE DESIGN! LOL
The bottles are called Codd bottles and were invented in 1872 in London by Hiram Codd. They were the standard bottle for carbonated beverages until the introduction of bottle caps, after which they declined in use.
And apparently that's where the word codswallop came from
Codd-bottles are a British invention from the 1800's. Traditional wine bottles were thinner glass and the cork was a tight seal but could be pushed out if the internal pressure was too much. Soft drinks needed a way to deal with a higher pressure so the bottle had a thicker glass and that marble with a rubber fitting resting on top in it's own chamber would be an airtight seal but also it would be able to release some pressure built up in the bottle.
Crown corks can withstand high enough pressure so releasing some of it isn't necessary anymore leading to longer shelf lives for soft drinks so that's why those marbles aren't used widely anymore
thanks,I've been reading comments for ten minutes trying to find out why
If you're wondering why this idea stayed around in Japan I asked a Japanese born friend of mine, Japanese people lead a mindful life , they don't like that instant results instant gratification thing unless it's in situations like when they're caught for time or need the convenience, such as single person meal vending machines, so this bottle makes you do a set of steps to open it , and in turn causing you to be more mindful of something simple like having a drink, you should see the way tea is made , very methodical approach
All fizzy drinks, inc. beer ect. used to come in these bottles. In the UK they were known as "cod's eye" bottles. And now you know where marbles come from. It's rare to find an intact cod's eye bottle in old dumps as kids would hunt them down and smash them for the marble contained therin...
Americans: "Why was a bottle like this made?"
Japan: "Americans will buy anything neat-looking at the Asian food market."
Lmao so true
You’re not wrong
actually they got it from us but nice try
pure Japanese summer vibe
It's also there in India
I go to g fest every year and there's always a stand there that sells Ramune and I always get a few and drink them through out my stay at the hotel. Very cool love opening them lol
That looks like cleaner 😂
The Japanese aren’t afraid to complicate things for better efficiency.
This often confuses us foreigners but the Japanese get it somehow.
It's a British invention from 150 years ago
@@Inimbrium oh who they stole it from it plz tell me that also
@@jaydeepsinhjadeja2820 nobody. Unless you have proof! If you do, let's see some reputable sources, if not, be quiet.
I remember as a kid when I was still living in Japan, my grandpa would bring these and I would break the bottle and take little glass marble out of them.
You monster lmfao
Thu there are few old codd bottles left.
@@BTheBullTurbo My ooga booga brain wanted the round piece of glass okay, can't blame a child for that XD
“rah moo nay” 🇺🇸
One dude pronounced it as RAMOOON 💀
I got these all the time as a kid and it is still one of my favorite drinks. Also I'm pretty sure you are supposed to drink it from the bottle.
never let them know Your next move
*destroys the top of the bottle and serves it in a glass*
What are you talking about? He didn't destroy anything, he opened it correctly
In India, most if not all soda bottles where made in this way. Childhood memories!!
It's a style that actually pre-dates bottle caps, all soda bottles used to be done that way everywhere.
Always behind 😂
yeah goli soda
@@VladamireD everywhere? I doubt that. Never heard about that before in Europe.
@@nichderjeniche Probably because Codd-neck bottles went out of fashion in most places (outside of India and Ramune in Japan) absolute ages ago (it was invented in 1870's in the UK and spread throughout Europe and the Commonwealth). It was replaced by external closures and caps eventually, much like it replaced corks in soft drinks, mineral water, and beer.
I've had those, the watermelon flavor is actually really good. My ex sent me some and I found some at my grocery store soon after. I thought they were fun to drink just cus of the bottle.
What a nice ex I have to ask if he's so thoughtful why is he your ex lol or do you mean when you guys were dating
@@angmoulton8528 How do you know the ex is a he? I didn’t read the OP mentioned their gender

Basically this bottle design originated from India and the rest of the world copied this design from India. This design is basically used for cost cutting purposes to fill Soda in India. Particularly for this design you don't need a cap to close the bottle instead of that soda which contains gas pressure will pull upwards the ball towards the hole and hold tight also in India soda glass bottles are all in black colour because it protects entering light into the bottle; even sun light & heat can't enter into the bottle to maintain Chill forever.
Interesting! India actually got its first "major" soda factory in the 1830s. I found that pretty interesting! The first patent of the Bottle with the marble was in London in 1872, it was Hiram Codd's answer to the cork "popping" off of soda bottles during shipping. But keep in mind, a patent doesn't mean invented, though Codd claimed it was his invention. The Khandelwal Glass Works company in India claim to be the first in India to manufacture marble stopper bottles in 1932. So by what I can tell, the bottle was a London invention, but again, this is all hearsay over what I can find online.
Idk what's with some Indians and them claiming everything else was just copied from India🤦🏼♂️
These are so much fun!😊
In the Pikmin short movies, one of them, titled "treasure in a bottle" or something like that is about a red Pikmin trying to get the marble out of one of these bottles left in the dirt
That's basically the reason why they aren't produced in bulk anymore. Kids used to smash the bottles to get to the marbles inside. That left broken glass everywhere.
Ramune drinks are good. It's just hard to open the drink when ya keep on pressing on the cap down but it won't work(pipsqueak and smol maximum strength lol). So I'd usually ask someone to open it. Best to do it over the sink to avoid spill overloads.
Lol 💪
Back in the day at festivals, they always kept the bottles. I assumed they just recycled them. It was easier to close back up with pressure
Thats how soda was available in India up until recent times. The bottles are reusable and does not waste any metal caps in the process. Super environment friendly
This is actually very common in India, most street vendors use carbonated water bottles to make various drinks like jaljeera and nimbu soda. These bottles have the same mechanism and the vendor usually opens them using his finger to shove the marble in the bottle (looks very cool and painful)
Yes, but we never used a plastic opener.
Here is a video of Robots delivering food at a local Japanese Restaurant I frequent. ruclips.net/user/shorts6P7YgWEbSOw
this bottled drink was in Singapore in the early to mid 90s !
Oh...thats what i was doing wrong🤦♂️ i could barely get any of it to come out and it was very annoying to drink. Good to know this cause it was actually quite good
