In Japan, Star Wars mania is everywhere. There are posters, ads, products, and toys everywhere. Japan loves Star Wars. With the upcoming movie premiering in only a month, the ad campaign has many people excited about the movie.
Well, there’s a campaign with Kirin (it’s a drink company) where they are selling Star Wars themed soft drinks. They come in two flavours: Mets Blue Force and Mets Red Force. From what the label says, the Blue Force is refreshing, and likely a somewhat minty flavour. Red Force says spicy/dry (they use the same Chinese characters). It also says cayenne, which makes me think it’s spicy. I have to wonder if it truly is spicy.
I haven’t tried them yet, but I’d like to. I’ve seen them everywhere, so it’s only a matter of time. I’ll probably take videos to taste test them. So, look forward to that.
Which would you like to try?

Hmm Red and Blue. Reminds me more of the Matrix – the red pill and the blue pill. I’m curious to know what they taste like.
I’ll probably try them within the next week.
Spicy, for sure! I wouldn’t be able to resist trying the blue one, afterward, though.
I’ll see if it actually tastes like cayenne.
I guess I have to try both. I haven’t seen them yet, though.
I’ve seen them in convenience stores and supermarkets. They seem to be everywhere right now.
