Not sure if this counts as a fan created work but...

Post by Masa95000 » Wed Jul 20, 2011 6:29 am

I was in a maid cafe today in Nipponbashi, Osaka, Japan today and was looking at their alcoholic drinks because those were the first items on the English menu (I'm too young to drink so I didn't get any of those). The second page of the alcoholic drinks menu made me chuckle. They were called "Z Cocktails". Take a look: (forgive the poor light quality)

Also, the maid cafe was awesome; however I wasn't used to things being done for me like the syrup being poured into water to make Calpis. I almost didn't let the poor little thing do her job by automatically reaching for the syrup boat.

Now that I see them, this is awesome. Who doesn't want to sip on some "Explosion of the Earth?" :P

Ha, these are pretty cool. I know what I'm mixing up for my birthday in a couple months.

You should mix 'em all up and then draw them all out over the course of over 9000 episodes while bragging about each other's powers.

Most of these sound terrible, except maybe Cell and the Genkidama.

However, I would still have them.

If I could drink, I'd probably have all of those just to say that I've drank them. Do you know how cool it'd be to go out and say you've drank a "Genkidama"?

You mean drinking all the donated/left over alcohol you can gather up from the tables around the bar after they close? Disgusting... =P Yes I read the first post, I just ignored it for the sake of comedy.

I don't know if it quite comes across in the English translation they have, but the joke behind the Genkidama drink is that it combines "a little bit" of different kinds of alcohol, similar to how the Genki-Dama takes bits of energy from everyone on the planet.

No, I got that, I just decided to turn the joke around. Having people donating their left over alcohol seemed more Genki Dama-ish than just using a a little bit of everything from behind the bar. =P

Well, I was somewhat disregarding what was actually inside the drink when I wrote that post. My point is, that it would be cool to have bragging rights to say you've drank something that is named after an attack/person from Dragon Ball.

I would love to go to a bar that serve those drinks. I'll be so proud to order a Genkidama.

Just go on down to Nipponbashi (or Den Den Town as it is sometimes called) and follow the signs to this maid café.

I´ve always wondered why these things are called "Cocktails"

From what I used to hear when I was a kid, it's because the drink is colorful like a cock's tail.

Side note: Here, they refer the cocktail to the mixed fruit juice. It's not alcoholic.

Instead of holding out my hands for a Genkidama, I'll just open my mouth. :o

It's because if she drinks too many, she gets a cock in her tail.
