I Love to DRINK!

I feel as though the drinks in Japan deserve their own post.  And they taste like those fancy drinks that are like $6 in America but all these drinks were bought either through convenience stores or vending machines.  So none are more than $2, crazy right??  And all these drinks are LEGIT.  Check em out:

This is Strawberry Milk.  And this is a BIG carton too, not those tiny one-gulp school lunch kind.  I have never tasted better Milk than Japan's Strawberry Milk...rule of thumb in Japan: Strawberry flavored anything is awesome!

And this carton: about $1.25

I'm a fan of milk tea, and this was one was one sale so of course I bought it.  It was only like a $1 and because it was so cheap it tasted better.  I don't know why it works that way it just does.  The better the deal the better things taste.  

So...I thought this was peach milk judging from the milky-like liquid in the carton's picture, but no.  The Japanese tricked me.  It turned out to be just peach juice with some other weird flavor...it was really sweet and had some chucks of, I'm assuming, peach.  I don't know if I didn't like this drink cause it humiliated/disappointed me or if it was actually not that great...maybe a mixture of BOTH.  But hey, only around $1.25...

This is the first vending machine drink I bought in Japan.  After passing around 436 other vending machines I finally decided on this one.  I was thirsty, and the Banana Milk gave me those puppy eyes so I couldn't resist.  I admit, this time the size was disappointing...kinda tiny can I finished in 30 seconds for like $1.25.  The size was even more disappointing because it tasted so dang good!!  I though Strawberry Milk was good...but Banana Milk is up there too...Japanese have so many flavors of milk and NONE disappoint!

I have no idea why they call this "straight tea" but it does not taste like it sounds.  I was thinking straight as in like an expresso shot or something but like a tea shot.  But boy was I happily wrong.  It's got this sweetness to it... I have no idea if it's naturally sweet or if they add sugar but if it's naturally sweet I'm growing one of those bushes in my room.  Only like $1 too.

Like I said before, I'm a fan of Milk Tea, thus I've drank a LOT of different kinds.  But this is a different story...this is like cream puff flavored milk tea...OMG this stuff scares me.  First of all it's LIPTON.  Secondly, it tasted AWESOME + it's LIPTON.  It's not even a Japanese company and it is probably the best Milk Tea I have ever drank...for real.  But even though it's Lipton I bet it was the Japanese idea.  But it was the most expensive drink I have bought so far...which still wasn't that bad at a price of $1.70.  If you ever see this I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT.  

This Milk Coffee was HOT.  From most vending machines they have hot and cold choices.  And they're so sneaky cause the hot and cold drinks are in the same type of container.  This plastic bottle usually denotes cold, but not in this case.  Man the Japanese are so sneaky!!

Again around $1.25.

Eat drink and you WILL be merry!
