Let's just say if you drink Bleach, you will go to the Soul Society.

The only issue is that it's Coke Zero, I don't like diet soda. The unfortunate title does draw you in though.

This might be hard to believe, but they aren't the same. I've had both and hated diet soda and I've had Coke Zero and liked it. It just tastes like Coke.

When life gives you Bleach, make Bleach Coke.

I prefer Coke Zero over regular Coke but they do taste different.

Haha, yeah, poor choice of meme--

Quote:
US$10 per can


Sorry, HOW MUCH

I know my currency is in the gutter right now (even though it's actually better now than anytime in the past three months) but HOW MUCH

Woowwww.

The message on the tin says it's "Action Flavored" which introduces more questions than answers.

Apparently it tastes like "carbonic acid, caramel pigment, acidulant, fragrance, sweetener (aspartame/L-phenylalanine compound, acesulfame K, sucralose), preservative (sodium benzoate), potassium citric acid, caffeine." Yum?

I will pay $10 for a can of Coca-Cola only if it comes with a free fifth of Blue Label.

I love Coke Zero and Bleach the anime but I'm not gonna buy a US$10 can when i can get a regular one for way cheaper.

Did she say it was free from a vending machine? That seems counter to charging $10 a can elsewhere, even if it is from a pop-up front.

Wow, SugoiMart doesn't even try to hide how they overprice everything anymore. Yatta Japan is selling them for $1.92 USD each. Still more than I'd ever be willing to spend on Bleach merch.

From JapanToday (Oct. 7)*;
Quote:
The pop-up store opens October 7, and the "Bleach" Coca-Cola will be available at stores elsewhere in Japan too starting October 10, the day before "Thousand-Year Blood War" debuts, in 355-milliliter cans for 140 yen.

Quite the fleecing here, especially if shipping is not included... Shocked

*If Kadokawa acquisition results in any improvements here on ANN, may I suggest they make the forums render some urls correctly... ;
