Everything is better with Coke


Today it is raining here...again. As such we didn't really go out today, of course Gabriella still went to school and we still stopped by the post office but we didn't do anything really exciting.  Although we did go to a nice dinner at Kadena Marina.
But what I really want to talk about today is my love for all drinks Japanese. I try to stop at a vending machine at least once a week and try something new. However, because Christmas time is the season for gift boxes I found the little gem pictured above. It was a suitcase full of my favorite teas. They are meant to be consumed chilled although they are just as tasty hot.  The vending machines serve hot beverages, fresh from a 200 degree can. When Greg and I got a tea, neither of us could hold the can in our bare hands, it was just too hot.  Basically because of this suitcase of deliciousness I'm now able to consume my apple, garden lemon and straight tea at home.  There were a few other suitcases of drinks by coca cola that I'm dying to try out. Perhaps future posts will include them. I suppose the thing I find most humorous about the vending machines is that most are sponsored by coke and yet coke makes all these wonderful products only for Japan. I think when I move back home I'm really going to miss the variety of vending machines and soda products.  They also have these packets of gelatinous juice, but that is a post for another day.  Cheers!!
