Fans of Japanese culture in the US are often interested in Ramune, a curiously flavored soft drink known for it's unique bottle design. The drink and it's bottle design were created by an English man for the Japanese market in 1884. The name is actually a Japanization of the word "lemonade." While I've seen some Ramune in the traditional glass bottle, most often I see it in cans featuring a picture of the bottle. In the US, Ramune is all about the novelty, but in Japan I would imagine many people just like the taste and don't want to bother with glass bottles.
