Corner vending mystery solved

[jay]

I decided to pick up some items for breakfast at a convenience store last night... among them one of these small cans of chilled, sweetened coffee that seem to be very popular in Japan. I was mystified by the branding... "Georgia" since (as a native of Atlanta) I know perfectly well that it isn't a region known for particularly good coffee. Or is a producing area. Unless someone has cross-bred coffee plants lately with kudzu... The mystery was solved when I discovered that the beverage is made and sold by Coca-Cola here. Sigh.

Off to morning sessions in robot control, then some afternoon sightseeing in Nara...

The Pocari Sweat was interesting -- a grapefruit-favored sports drink. But I love the Royal Milk Tea! And have opted away from the energy drinks ( Ican't read the labels, so don't know which have nicotine ;).

Thanks!
