Count Inside the Bottle

[Oblivia]

What does it taste like

Full disclosure here that I don't read Japanese, so this is based solely on trying each packet and figuring out flavors that way.

Purple - grape
Pink/white/green - strawberry or possibly watermelon, or some combination of both
Green - Honeydew melon
Orange - Orange
Blue - 99% sure it's that soda with the glass ball inside, which Google says is called Ramune

Orange and blue are prime.

I made my second guess. I can’t tell you what I guessed, but I did say something about apples in my submission thread.

If I were hosting the event, I would make people count how many beads there are. Tiny beads in a 5-gallon jar.

i either just undershot or overshot my guess— guess i’ll find out LOL

also, sweet surprise you say?

 

[kikotoot]

Not the star confetti I was so off last time, and idk if I remember if that was off by being way under or way over so have to guess in which direction I drastically add/subtract to/from my guess

But then you would have to count every single one of those beads to give us the correct answer

Alright you got me! My trolling has backfired.

Unrelated but I love that piece you have behind the jar!

tbh, of what I can tell, the packet labels seem to be novelty 'flavor' names based off of flowers anyways

purple/pink: wisteria
pink/white/green: sakura
green/yellow: dandelion
orange/pink: cosmos
blue/green: hydrangea
