Takara Plum CANCHUCHI
I grabbed this drink at a 7-11 in Beijing for about 7 RMB (about $1 USD). It's sour and tastes like sour apple even thought it's supposed to be plum flavor. I guess it's supposed to be some sort of plum wine, but with 4% alcohol it's more like a bad wine cooler. It's carbonated, weak, and overall not very tasty.

I came across this weird drink in Park City Utah, while on a snowboarding trip.

Lychee Beer
This stuff smells just like lychee candy. Since it came in a can I wanted to see what it looked like. Poured out in a glass, this lychee flavored beer is whitish-clear similar to the lychee fruit itself and very bubbly. Judging from the color alone, I would probably be more likely to call this a wine cooler than a beer. It does say 荔枝啤 "lychee beer" on the bottle, but it could just be a translation issue.
