this is ramune a it's a soda that originated in Japan in the late 1800s and it's very popular
at many Japanese summer festivals as well as just many other events in Japan you can find
it in America and a lot of people are really interested in it but despite being made in
Japan and being a huge favorite that everybody notices as a Japanese drink it actually was made
by a Scottish pharmacist which his name was Alexander Cameron Smith who woulda guessed
that being said it's also gone through a number of name changes before and ended up with a name
Romane it started off with some stuff like remon sui which stands for a lemon water but also had
the name remonedo which stood for lemonade in the English translation and it also had another name
which featured one of the two things that made it incredibly popular in the week which was maru
soda you see Maru who actually stood for marble which if you remove this top portion here you
can either pull it off just like that or I can use one of those side ripping things you'll find this
little funnel now you want to pop this piece out of the plastic and right on top there's actually a
marble that keeps the entire thing carbonated and keeps it completely pressurized so if you were to
take this pop it in the top and push as hard as you can let's use two hands make sure you hold
it down so that the carbonation doesn't leave the top as you can see the marble has now been pushed
into this top portion might be able to see it in there and I put this inside here so you can take a
better look yeah the marble is inside of here and the other feature that makes this a really popular
kind of drink is it's cod neck design about 1/4 of the way down the bottle they have this narrow neck
and they have these two bumps that are meant to stop the marble while you're pouring oh so that
it doesn't block up the ending that way you can drink it and not lose a lot of the liquid but a
lot of you guys have come to this video because I was going to teach you how to remove this marble
from this contraption which has actually gotten a lot of kids hurt because most kids really want
the marble and so they'll break the glass and just everybody gets hurt so let's take a look at that
first I'm gonna drink this sucker and then we'll get started so now that we got that thing cleaned
out I actually emptied it and I washed it out with some hot water just so that we have a clean bottle
to mess with you might have looked at some other YouTube videos and honestly I've checked out a lot
to try to find the best technique for getting this little sucker out because it's just such
a tantalizing little marble you know me and my friends we've tried to get these out before by
just smashing them on the ground and yeah we got our hands pretty cut up so this is some of the
stuff I've checked out so going online it seems a lot of people recommend you get this marble out by
taking a knife and cutting through the inside and trying to make a mark straight down the side but
as you can see like this thing was pretty tough and it's really dangerous to try to do it on
this really smooth plastic especially when it's stuck on there real good but eventually it did
image it did get it off and there was no glass so that kind of works they also recommend sometimes
to soften up the plastic use a little bit of fire but I found that to be really terrible also I did
find another method which works pretty well it's potentially has the chance of breaking the glass
but for the most part I've had really good luck about three out of four made it without breaking
the glass and so I'm going to show you that right here so what you do is you take a quarter inch
screwdriver flat head and you're going to just try to put it in between the gap here and as
you raise it I'm just gonna get a little bit on the first one move over to right next to it and
keep on doing that you're just gonna go all the way around now you can occasionally put it on an
angle to try to get the edge of the screwdriver further in there but we're gonna go all around
this thing and as you go further you'll be able to get it a little bit further in and yeah it'll
take a little bit of time so I'll spare you that time just by Spee well-marbled shot out of there
see that only took about actually uh about a minute and the bottle is completely intact you
could put them all back in every one and if you wanted to you can actually make your own ramen a
using this container and this cap so in a later video maybe I'll show you guys how to do that
pretty cool huh and if you're gonna do this at home I really recommend wearing some gloves and
potentially some eye protection cool so guys I hope you really enjoyed the video and if you'd
like to pick up one of these things for yourself so that you can try it out there's over thirty
seven flavors so I'm pretty sure you'll find one that you like whether that's blueberry strawberry
orange the melon that I was using earlier or uh maybe one of their more unique flavors like
teriyaki or wasabi and if you think that that might be a little bit out of your desire to try
something exotic you could try some American drinks that uh you know they're a little bit
exotic as well like brass soda just seems like a great flavor and you can pick up one of these
at a local at a local Japanese supermarket or Chinese supermarket any Asian supermarket should
have them if they cost a little bit more than two dollars then you're getting ripped off so
go someplace else but yeah might as well try some of these unique American drinks water
