Calpico aka Caripis

It is a Japanese non-carbonated soft drink that has a white coloring to it. It is quite popular in Japan. It's Japanese name is caripis, but sold outside as calpico. Here's the reason someone told me.

Say Caripis really fast in a Japanese accent.

Ka ree pis.

Real fast.

Sounds like CowPiss. Lol! And it can kind of look like it. Ewww.. lol.

The bottle itself is a squarish bottle with a nice design to the sides. The cap is just a normal twist cap. The bottle cost about $2, and it has 230 cals for the 500 ml (16.9oz).As I took a sip It felt it has a its a sweet fruit flavor. It leaves the after taste of a mentos fruit chew or tums fruit tablet. Yes tums is not a candy. But it does taste like candy. The texture is very smooth of the drink. A few minutes later there is a slight dryness in the mouth. I'll wash it down with water.

Ask any Japanese friend and they will endorse Calpico and I will to.
Verdict: Should try!
