Goli soda - a unique experience

I wonder if you have ever had this drink - we call it Goli Soda. Goli refers to the marble ball that seals the mouth of the bottle. The original used to have a flavour called paneer soda. I used to have it as a kid decades ago. But this disappeared from shops for more than two decades. It's making a strong comeback now and is easy to procure. It comes in many flavours - what you see is blueberry. There's lime, ginger, pineapple, orange, mango, strawberry and more. The unique goli needs to be pushed in - it falls into a groove in the bottle and bobbles around as you drink your fizzy soda. That's so much fun while having something unhealthy - it's loaded with sugar!!

No, I haven't tried this yet but it looks awesome. If it's sweet I would like it but would refrain from buying it. Strawberry would be the best flavor for me.,

Having something that has lots of sugar in it is ok once in awhile.

It looks like my favorite dishwashing soap. But I bet I would find it delicious!

I don't think it has any nutritive value.

I don't know of any American soda brands that use Codd-neck bottles, but in my area most of the grocery stores carry a few different flavors of the Japanese Ramune soda which is very similar to this. They mostly have what we'd consider "normal" flavors like melon, strawberry, or lime-lemon, but they've made some really odd ones like curry and wasabi, too.

@pitstop It does! I have to admit I'm pretty curious about how that one is supposed to taste.

Years ago, there used to be these marbles in drink bottles.

It's available in a few countries - the bottle design has another name too. Have to look it up.
