Goli soda

Have you tried Ramune or Goli/Banta soda?

I found this drink bottle at an Indian grocery store in Singapore. Looks like an attempt on enticing people with nostalgia. Goli/Banta soda (goli refers to the marble stopper that you have to dislodge to access the drink). Many countries had these bottles in the early days of carbonated drinks but now they are only made in Japan and India. The pressure of the gas inside pushes up the marble creating a seal. Ramune (Japanese pronunciation of Lemonade) is the Japanese version. Unlike the Indian versions, the Japanese bottles are almost always made of plastic. The Japanese drink comes with a little plastic tool for pushing down the marble. The Indian one, you just use your thumb.
