A short conversational vlog-style video (first episode) where Luis Lan and a companion sample and rate various drinks from a Japanese vending machine while waiting for a flight. They discuss types (green teas, coffees, sparkling waters, flavored waters, milk/yogurt drinks, and a "chill out" relaxation drink), taste impressions, and give numeric ratings for a few items.

Will you share with me?
Yes, I'll. I will share. I will share. All right. Do you. Do you have 130 things?
We will find out.
We got coins, but we don't know what they mean, so we just start sticking them in there. Until.
That's what she said. Until we get the bottle.
Yeah, until we get the bottle or they start popping back out. All right, Start. Start sticking the coins in there. All right. Coins going there. Is that enough? Oh, that was more than enough. All right, we had a 500. All right, easy enough. You just needed one coin. How do you. Okay. Oh, oh, we gotta put on that.
I keep wanting to say hello.
Not in Hawaii anymore. For you. Thank you. Sparkling. All right. Interesting, interesting. Now she's. She's gonna try out. Chill out. See how chill it makes her. Yeah. Got a lot. A lot going down here. We're in the bottom level. The top one has a lot more stuff going on. We just wanted some peace and quiet.
They're just like smaller planes. So the bus will take us out and, like, the stairs will come down.
Yeah, we'll see. See how that works. She's going, chill out, guys.
I'm gonna be the ch.
Oh. 210. All right. She stuck. Stuck a coin in there. 100, 100, 210.

Chen, chill us out. All right, all right, we got chill out. It's pretty small. Relax. Relaxation. That's about all you.
That's the only word I need yeah.
That'S about all you're getting out of this. The rest of it is Japanese. Oh, you got it.
Is that a pickle?
Maybe it's a sausage. Who knows?
But he's kind of looks like a hot dog.
He's chilling out. All right, try it out.
But firstchillout.com.
But first scan me.
There's a. Scan me.
No, Just. Just.
Come by.
Oh, damn.
I'm so chill.
Too chill. All right.
That's really tasty. It kind of tastes like a. A gobstopper. That tastes exactly like a Gobstopper.
It tastes like something sweet.
Yeah, like a gobstopper. It tastes like a schnozberry.
It's not for this guy.
Lucky. I like schnozberry.
What's out of a 10?
Out of 10?
Of a 10.
Comparing it to all the other Japanese drinks I've had so far.
No. Yeah, I just. I guess this is your baseline.
I would go. I would take it again.
So what does that mean?
It's up there. 8.
8. 8.
I think what would make it better is if it was bigger and sparkly.
Okay. I would. I think I would give it a five. It's not for Louise. All right, my turn.
I don't know what it means.
Spark. Try it out.
That's sparkle.
That's sparkly.
I need some.
I don't taste a lemon.
I definitely taste the lemon.
You taste the lemon.
Tastes like a lemon Lacroix. Maybe less sweet, though.
These bubbles are aggressive.
They'll treat me like a baby. I'll show them. I'll prove that I can be them. Hardcore. I don't think it's. They're aggressive enough.
Whoa. They're fighting down my throat. I'd get it again. I'd give it a seven.
I'd get that. So sparkling water is not really a thing here.
Apparently it is in this bottle, like in Hawaii, too.
You have to have that big machine, the really expensive machine.
I think. All in all, for what would you rate it? 7. But for our first. Hey, we don't know what any of these drinks are, but let's try them out.
See the number 10.
All right, you got.
I guess, Chen Sun. Fanny Chan.
Chen recommends Chill Out. I recommend Suntory Sparkling. Stay tuned for the next episode.
Chill, Chill.
