Final Fantasy Potions

Itsuki is out tonight for a year-end party (Bounenkai – 忘年会 : lit. “forget the year gathering”) at one of her workplaces and I decided to go shoot some pool at the monthly 9-ball competition in my favorite pool hall g-Forest. Unfortunately I didn’t do well and I got to go home early …

On the way back home i dropped into a FamilyMart to get some sweets (apple pie) and spaghetti lunch for tomorrow and noticed a new soft drink on the shelves. The sucker that i am i couldn’t resist the allure of trying out this new fancy looking drink.

I haven’t opened the can yet, but i don’t expect Final Fantasy IX Potions to be very nice. A quick Internet search mentioned the words “repulsive and repugnant” in combination with an earlier version of the drink and my experience so far tells me that the more advertising a drink needs the worse the taste is. But there is always this hope to find something new and awesome that makes it worthwhile to go through 95% of garbage!

P.S. - so i got around to drink one of the cans .. turned out that “repulsive and repugnant” is still spot on .. that stuff is undrinkable
