Vending Machine Awards

Shizuka and I have been debating the relative merits of the soft drinks to be found at the local convenience store. The variety is endless and some of the drinks are mind boggling. 
Here are the nominees.
 1 Calpis soda Zero. A white carbonated beverage with 1% lemon. Delicious and refreshing with zero calories.
2 Fanta grape. Now to me Fanta is a sickly orange drink. Fanta grape is just not Fanta. But Shizuka likes it. 
3 CC Lemon. 70 Lemons worh of vitamin C in every bottle. Wow. Thats a lot of lemons!
4 Ju roku Cha. 16 kinds of tea blended into one easy bottle.
5 Fanta. The original. In Japan Fanta has stayed true to it's original taste. Unlike NZ.
6 Pocari Sweat. Energy water for those who perspire.
7 Bubbleman II. Don't ask me what happened to bubbleman 1.
8 Kagome Veggie Life. 21 vegetables and 3 fruits smooshed up together. Great for constipation!
9 Aserora Drink. Strange cherry coccoction with 30 times more Vitamin C than lemon. 30 Times!!!!
10 Coke. The original. Black gold. Say no more.

Calpis...the winner
Shizuka winners are
 Calpis soda zero  followed by kagome veggie life.
For me its
 Coke...refreshing and uplifting and then CC lemon.
