飲み物(のみもの)=Drinks

カルピス
One of Japan's most popular drinks especially during the summer months. You can get the "ready-to-drink" bottle or the concentrate. All you have to do is add 1 part カルピス to 4 parts water.
It used to be spelled Calpis in English but got changed to Calpico after a meme went around because everyone started to pronounce it inappropriately.

ラムネ
A popular drink among kids that you can find in any Asian market. There's a marble lodged into an opening and you need to use the cap to push it down.
Here's a video demonstrating how to open it.
