Meiji VAAM Comparison

Here is a comparison of the new VAAM sports drink line-up in jelly form. From right to left you have Diet VAAM which contains the new amino acid mixture (D-V.A.A.M.), with implied slimming effects, the original VAAM in the middle with added citric acid, and Super VAAM on the left with added L-carnitine and CoQ10. The amounts of added amino acid mixture also increases from left to right: 1,500 mg, 1,800 mg and 3,000 mg. The two to the right sell for competitive prices (about 200 yen per can), but Super VAAM goes for a nice premium of about 300 yen per can or a bit more for the jelly pack. スーパーヴァーム ヴァームダイエット L-カルニチン コエンザイムQ10 明治

Ben & Jerry's Cherry Garcia

Ben & Jerry is extending some of the same brands popular in the US to Japan. Cherry Garcia is one of those flavors, even though I think the recognition of Jerry Garcia is much less here. This image shows Cherry Garcia in a Hina Matsuri or Girls' Day setting. ベン&ジェリーズ チェリーガルシア
