There seems to be a popular Japanese soft drink missing from that machine; LA is home to a huge Japanese-American/Japanese ex-pat population as well as a lot of Japanese tourists passing through; as a result, it is not that difficult to find Japanese food and drink products here in many places; one soft drink was imported here a long time ago which was very, very popular in Japan but struggled, at first to gain any acceptance, even among Japanese-Americans and ex-pats; it seems the main problem was the original Japanese brand name, under which the drink was originally sold in the US; it was changed, some time ago, to Calpico here in the US; the original, unappetizing-to US-buyers name?...


...Calpis...
