A fridge full of Black Punch (and one Syrupy Slime Drink) approaches! This is like a way nerdy and less gangsta version of that fridge full of 40s in Dr. Dre and Snoop’s classic ‘Nuthin’ But A ‘G’ Thang’ music video.
For those wondering what Black Punch is, from what I can gather, it’s a fruity soft drink with guarana flavoring. Has anyone here ever tasted a guarana-flavored beverage? Would you classify it as delicious or throwupus??
And if you want to know what the Syrupy Slime Drink tastes like, N-Sider reviewed both Hoimi/Heal Cider (blue) and Mera/Frizz Tropical (orange) variations of the Dragon Quest Monsters: Battle Road Victory promotional item:
“The beverage itself in both cases is actually non-carbonated, and both of them command quite a sweet aroma. … True to its name, this gloop is thick, and I can almost imagine gruesomely drinking one of the game’s slimes down and having it feel exactly like this.
The cider flavor is quite similar to that of the popular Japanese cider soft drink: a hint of pineapple, perhaps a little lemon, and sweet but subdued. A bit… sterile, if you will.
The tropical flavor commands much more braggadocio, a real cock of the walk—the sweet, thick mango flavor of this one is almost aggressive! There is also an undercurrent of orange, with the slightly tart aftertaste of citric acid. The orange is definitely the better of the two flavors here, though I prefer the classic looks of the blue slime.”
