Ramune is widely known for the distinctive design of its bottle, often called Codd-neck bottles after the inventor, Hiram Codd. They are made of glass and sealed with a marble; the marble is held in place by the pressure of the carbonation in the drink. To open the bottle, you will use the plastic plunger to push the marble inward. The marble rattles around while drinking for a entertaining effect. Therefore, the drinks are sometimes called "marble soda" outside Japan.
At times, people trying Ramune for the first time sometimes find it difficult to drink, as it takes practice to learn to stop the marble from blocking the flow. In one version of the bottle introduced in 2006, little slots were added to the cap where the marble was originally held. This prevented the flow from being obstructed if the marble falls back towards the cap. Ramune is also available in plastic PET bottles and cans.
Ramune is one of the modern symbols of summer in Japan and is widely consumed during warm festival days and nights.
