Woah what? I want these..... and for no reason at all! Is there any way to buy them? Maybe one of our members lives in Hong Kong and is willing to distribute them to us if we pay for shipping and everything?

I heard they're like yogurt drinks. Or at least, it tastes something like those marble drinks they have in Japan but not as much fizz like the actual marble drinks. I'm told you buy 4 cans for about $100 Hong Kong dollars. You might want to check xe.com for foreign currency exchange rate.

Somehow I sense a TFS joke arising from this...
A "rather haggard" translation of a line from Future Gohan in DBZ, provided to FUNimation by Toei:
"To think of fighting that is this fun...so, it was pleasant fight, as many as, therefore is a feeling which is good the fight where."

My mom's actually going to Hong Kong next month but i don't think I'll bother asking her to get it. i'm afraid i would never open a can of these. This drink is selling like crazy in Hong Kong right now considering Dragonball is finally back on the air over there. I'd go to HK and buy 'em myself but I'm probably gonna be busy working as a film extra on the set of Guillermo Del Toro's new flick by then.

Energy drink. Tasts sorta like Red Bull, from what i remember. In Japan, it was something like 150 yen on any given vending machine. If you like Red Bull, you're gonna like that one lol

"Ramune" (the ones with the bottle with the marble in it, that i think you were refering to) is great. It's soda, but with a nice sweet taste

Ugh...not another energy drink! The only energy drink I can stand on a hot summer's day is Pocari Sweat. And yeah, you got it. I was referring to Ramune. I've been told that Power Squash tastes like Ramune but with less fizz.

I'd love to get these just for the cans, but I wouldn't be surprised if the drink tastes horrible xD.

I'm pretty sure Pocari Sweat's not an energy drink. :-O

Nah, man, Ramune is t3h awesomeness. Power Squash is (as you mentioned) another one of those in-between Reb Bull and Rock Star lol. But hey, for those that like the stuff anyway, it is nice and refreshing.

I may be wrong (please correct me if I am) but I had the impression that Pocari Sweat had a variety of different types of drinks...or maybe just as Pocari, memory's fuzzy :P

Well, Pocari Sweat is an ion energy drink. There is a reason why it's called "Pocari SWEAT".
It's to keep yourself from dehydrating and taking care of that sweating problem. Or something and the other. Can't remember what the side of that bottle says but it's printed there in Chinese. (Pocari Sweat is widely available in Hong Kong and if you're lucky, many Chinese supermarkets and snack shops in North America would carry it too.)

From what I've seen, these average around 150 - 180 yen a pop in one of Osaka's (many) vending machines:
