Open and Drink a Bottle of Ramune Pop

The novelty of the ramune drink is the bottle shape and the stopper. It comes in a variety of flavors, including strawberry, peach, and lychee. A glass marble acts as a unique cap, keeping the soda closed, and the liquid inside carbonated. When it's released the marble falls into a specially designed chamber. Sometimes the process of opening a bottle of Ramune can be messy, and leave your hands sticky.

Steps

1. Set the bottle on a stable, flat surface. (e.g. a table or a counter.) Preferably something that will not allow the bottle to slip out from under your hands.
2. Remove the plastic wrapping from the bottle's cap. Throw it into a trash receptacle.
3. The hard plastic piece on top of the bottle separates in two - use your thumb to push out the center part (the plunger), separating it from the outer ring. Throw the outer ring into the trash.
4. Place the plunger on top of the marble, with the flat, round side facing up.
5. Use one hand to grip the bottle securely. Place the heel of the other hand on the plunger.
6. Making sure to concentrate pressure in a solely downward direction, push forcefully on the plunger until the marble drops into the bottle. Do not release or change the direction of pressure.
7. Continue holding the plunger against the opening of the bottle for approximately 5 seconds, or until the pop has visibly settled.
8. Remove and throw away the plunger.
9. When drinking the soda, hold the bottle so that the indentations in the neck are facing down to catch the marble. This will prevent it from stopping the flow of liquid.
10. Enjoy!

Tips

• Do not drink if marble is broken.
• Don't accidentally throw out the opening widget!
• Don't shake the bottle before opening. This will cause excess fizzing.

Warnings

• Don't stick your finger or tongue into the bottle in an attempt to remove the marble. It may get stuck!
• Always be sure to push on the FLAT part of the push-tab. Pushing on the other side may cause damage to your hand, and will not displace the marble.
• Don't break open the bottle to remove the marble. You may cut yourself or someone else.
