Effects of drinks used for penalty games and types of extremely nasty drinks (21–30)
Squid shiokara soda, natto soda
Squid salt-pickle soda and natto soda were developed around the theme of foods with impactful flavors and smells.
Their defining feature is a taste so strong that your expression changes the moment it hits your mouth.
They also look like clear, ordinary soda, so the gap between their appearance and their flavor will surprise you when you take a sip.
As soon as you open the cap, the aroma wafts out, so you can expect a dynamic reaction from anyone taking a punishment-game drink.
You can also try mixing the two to create a soda with a mysterious, unidentifiable flavor.
Bitter Bug Tea
Kuchimushi Tea is even more bitter than Senburi tea, the classic go-to for bitter drinks.
It looks and smells like green tea, but it’s bitter enough to make your facial expression change.
We recommend a system where the loser in an event or game drinks one cup at a time.
You’ll end up laughing when the person taking the penalty blurts out or moves reflexively.
It’s the perfect drink for those who find regular beverages too tame and want something more stimulating.
Based on the title, make sure to prepare a bitter drink with real impact.
Coffee and salt
Accidentally adding salt instead of sugar is a classic, all-too-familiar mistake.
Let’s have you experience what coffee with salt—an embodiment of that mishap—actually tastes like.
Compared to sugar, salt is a seasoning that decisively sets the flavor even in small amounts, so putting in as much as you would sugar drastically changes the taste—that’s the scary part.
The more sugar you usually use, the bigger the flavor gap will be.
So while keeping health in mind, let’s have you report back on this shockingly flavored drink.
Sea buckthorn juice
This is a juice made with seabuckthorn, a type of superfruit that’s attracting attention for its high nutritional value.
Because it has an intense sourness, it’s usually recommended to dilute it in juice or something similar, but for a punishment game, the closer it is to the undiluted form, the more effective it might be.
On the other hand, it’s rich in iron, which can help with anemia, and it offers the benefit of letting you consume over 200 nutrients in a well-balanced way.
It’s a drink that can improve your health even as a punishment, but drinking a large amount all at once may irritate the stomach, so for a punishment game, it’s best to limit it to about one small cup.
Miso cola
It’s hard to imagine how miso and cola would go together, isn’t it? There’s actually a novelty drink called miso cola on the market.
Some people say it smells like sweat—it has a strong odor and pronounced tartness.
However, as you keep drinking it, some find it strangely refreshing and richly flavored.
Since cola is said to help tenderize meat, some people even use miso cola as a seasoning.
You wouldn’t want to drink it as a punishment game, but depending on how you use it in cooking, it might actually be a handy item!
Donki’s death powder
This is “Death Powder,” a punishment-game drink mix you can easily buy at Don Quijote, which also sells party goods.
It works by dissolving the powder in water or mixing it into food.
There are four types—sweet, bitter, spicy, and sour—and all of them have a reputation for being pretty intense.
The product packaging even includes a warning that says, “Do not chug.” The appeal of this item is that you can adjust the concentration yourself.
If you want to keep the punishment light, use a small amount; if you want to go all in, use the full packet.
Try making it while adjusting to your preference!
lemon water
Lemon water is expected to have anti-aging and cold-preventing effects.
If you remove the soaked lemon slices, it looks just like regular water, so you can set up a fun surprise.
Try adjusting the amount of lemon to make the drink more tart.
Since lemons have antioxidant properties, they may also help relieve constipation and improve skin.
After enjoying their reaction to the sour drink, you might make them even happier by telling them, “It actually has these benefits!”
Mentaiko Cola
It’s a drink that combines mentaiko and cola, filling your mouth with a distinctive flavor.
Since both ingredients have strong personalities, the result is a punchy taste.
You can buy a ready-made version, or pick up mentaiko and cola and make it yourself.
It could be fun to line it up next to tomato juice and play a game where you have to drink one or the other.
Despite the mentaiko taste, you also get the fizzy carbonation—truly perfect for a punishment game.
Try incorporating this uniquely flavored drink into your forfeits for a quirky twist.
Tagame Cider
The giant water bug, a familiar insect from variety shows.
Many people probably find it off-putting just from its appearance.
But in Thailand, giant water bugs are commonly eaten, and their flavor is said to be surprisingly fruity.
Noticing this, the edible-insect shop TAKEO developed Giant Water Bug Cider.
It contains 0.3% giant water bug extract, recreating the insect’s flavor.
People who’ve actually tried it say it tastes pretty good.
Still, the fact remains that it contains giant water bug—so it could definitely serve as a “drink a bug” penalty game! Recommended for those looking for a low-impact punishment.
sweet tea (specifically, a type of herbal tea known as GABA tea or Rubus suavissimus tea in Japan)
Tencha is a general term in China for sweet teas made from tree leaves.
Because it has a natural sweetness without added sugar, it’s also used in drinks and sweets.
You can use tencha itself for a forfeit game, or mix it with bitter drinks like green vegetable juice or swertia tea.
Another fun idea is to set out various Chinese teas on a table and play a game where you choose one to drink.
These drinks are made from plants in families such as Rosaceae, Saxifragaceae, Rubiaceae, and Fagaceae.
Consider including it as a penalty for people who don’t like sweet drinks.
In conclusion
I introduced some recommended drinks to use for penalty games. Instead of just picking unpleasant-tasting drinks, choosing ones that actually have health benefits can become a fun talking point! Be sure to pick something that suits the other person, and use this article to help make it a great time.
