Lemonade?

The hubs brought me home this "souvenir" from his first business trip here in Japan:
Curry flavored Ramune
It smelled like curry.  It even tasted like curry.  Weirdness.

So, what is Ramune, you ask?  Its a drink I usually associate to my childhood summers in Japan. Its a fizzy lemon-y drink that has a unique bottle - curvy glass with a marble inside.  What I didn't know until today was that the drink name actually came from phonetically (mis)spelling the word "lemonade."  Ha!  Wikipedia comes to the rescue, yet again...
