Well I was drinking a fermented drink similar to Yakult called Biofeel (made by Koreans). Yakult is a very successful world-wide product that is enjoyed by kids & adults that was first made in Australia! Unfortunately it is very expensive here in NZ! But they sell many of them at the 7 eleven stores in Asia.
Anyway, I did research on it because I wanted to know why they do not sell in bottles larger than the ones presented here. I remembered that I heard from somewhere that it has a type of bacteria too & wondered why it plays an important part of the bottle being so small?
Flavours : original, grape, orange & green apple
I went to the original website http://www.yakult.com.au/index.html
This states: Yakult Australia Pty. Ltd. commenced production on 22 January 1994. Australia was the first English speaking country chosen to launch Yakult due to its close proximity to Asia. Another reason was Australia’s increasing interest in maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Yakult contains beneficial bacterium called Lactobacillus casei Shirota strain. Each one of us has around 100 trillion bacteria in our intestines. Some of these are beneficial and some are potentially harmful. To work efficiently our digestive system needs a healthy balance where the number of beneficial bacteria outnumber those that are potentially harmful. The unique beneficial bacteria in Yakult are strong enough to survive the journey through the stomach’s gastric juices to reach the small intestine alive, where they help maintain an ideal balance of beneficial bacteria. Each 65ml bottle contains hundreds of millions of these highly acid resistant bacteria, which are exclusive to Yakult.
So that is the reason why Yakult is contained in small bottles. Plus people who have diabetes or are lactose-intolerant can still enjoy & reap the benefits of yakult. Go to the FAQ's section to read about it!! This is fantastic stuff! Although I do want to drink more than those tiny bottles ahahah its so tasty!
However, it is advised that one bottle a day should be good for you. They said that if you drink another, it should be fine as well. But I wouldn't do that....oh wait I drank 4 bottles yesterday???!!!!
Oops.
My friend told me about a new Taiwan drama with the actress Hebe, also known to be in an all-girls band S.H.E. She plays the character Yi Sheng Xue 伊勝雪. Starring alongside with Mike He (賀軍翔) as Shen Ruo He 沈若赫 & Lee Wei (李威)as Jin Zi Cong 金子聰, the show is called Bull fighting (鬥牛 · 要不要). This is a basketball show.... Anyway, this drama was released just last year & it is like the typical story of 2 guys & a girl. Sheng Xue (Hebe) is actually quite terrible at basket ball haha.
Wikipedia: In this Drama Yi Sheng Xue plays a gang leader's daughter, and Shen Ruo He plays a gangster. Both of the two attend different schools, which street basketball ball games take place on the court between the two. Jin Zi Cong plays one of the gangsters that are assigned to keep an eye out for Yi Sheng Xue, Both Zi Cong and Ruo get quite close to Sheng Xue, and their history is slowly revealed as a romantic(and very interesting) story unfolds.
