Japanese packaging makes you smile...

Innovative packaging in Japan is nothing new, so it's not too surprising that you open this sparkling soda by popping a marble into the bottle.

The brightly-colored packaging also features smiley faces in the shape of the featured flavor—orange, melon, strawberry, peach, grape, and lychee. The marble rolls around in the bottle as you drink the beverage. Kids and adults are drawn to the quirky drink, which is being sold in specialty stores in the US.
