hmmmmmmmm . . . and just what does ORIGINAL taste like?

No clue, haha. I wondered the same thing.

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to:

secure a bottle of ORIGINAL
drink said bottle
record the experience (video is first choice, but written report will suffice)
detail your findings / recommendations so I don't waste any of my own money or nasty tasting bottled water

P.S. if there is even the slightest hint of raspberry or strawberry, please check the ingredients list for "NATURAL FLAVORING" and determine if CASTOREUM is used in the production of this product.

I've had the original. It's kinda hard to describe. The closest thing I can think that it compares to is bubble gum, but it's not incredibly close. It's not as strong of a flavor and has a refreshing quality.

Phew, does that mean I'm off the hook for the mission? >.>

Certainly! just give us a review of CASTOREUM instead of RAMUNE and all will be forgiven

I ran out from the office today and picked up a tasty lunch from Kazy's Gourmet . . .

thoroughly enjoyed the sushi rolls and nigiri back at my desk . . .

browsed through the grocery, frozen and refrigerator items while I waited . . .

but just couldn't bring myself to sipping on this syrupy concoction . . .

Oooh, daifuku (the mochi with red bean filling at the top of your 3rd photo) is one of my favorite treats!

It looks like your store has a wider variety of Ramune/Ramune-like drinks.

On my most recent trip to the local international grocery store I decided to take the plunge and buy these two unusual flavors.

I'm not sure if I'll try them myself or ship them off to R&L. I don't have high hopes for these things to taste good...

Chili oil flavor? Yikes. o.O

My very own Tillie House kit is on the way. Got a second one for the grandkids, too! Have any other MB's ordered one for themselves or a loved one yet?

Hmm...I have a strong feeling that the Wheel ending on this GMM was used once before. Either that, or I saw the end part of this before? I just have a memory of hearing that guy break into laughter as he's saying the last line.
