Against all the odds—and to my endless irritation—I see Dominik Hasek continues to snap up those salary bonuses of his with some show-off performances. God, it’s hard to stomach.
But I’m a good sport so I thought I’d offer him a celebratory drink, sure to be the next big thing at The Joe: Octopus Ball Soda. (I’m not even making this up.)
Who knew the Japanese could contribute something so profound to the sport of ice hockey?
I’ll look forward to seeing the boys at the office knocking a couple of these back.

Note: For Wings Fans with octopus fetishes that are unable to get their hands on this fine product, I’ve listed the ingredients below, just because I care. From News on Japan:
“a soda drink made with the flavors of diced octopus, tempura scraps (tenkasu), pickled ginger, konnyaku, and green onion, topped with okonomiyaki sauce, green laver (aonori), mayonnaise, and katsuobushi (fish shavings).”
I do hope you have fun making it and sharing it with your friends… there’s even a soundtrack to go with the experience.

The Japanese make some very odd food choices (green tea ice cream, etc.), but soda flavored with octopus, ginger, and fish shavings is a new one. Who comes up with flavor combinations like this? Late night dares at the bottling company?

White tea is another great tea for your health. I think it’s actually the same leaf as green tea, just not dried. One thing to know is that the lighter the color of the tea, the better it is for you, and I’m not making that up. (Green tea and white tea are both pretty light)
