2. Milkis; $12

Lotte/Amazon

Netflix's To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before brought the popular Korean yogurt drink Yakult to the U.S. mainstream in 2018. If you want a fizzier, but no less authentic, option to try out, you should go for Milkis. Like the name suggests, the soda has a creamy quality to it, but in terms of flavor, think of it more like yogurt than milk. There are also different flavors to try, including strawberry, melon, and peach.

In order to open the bottle, you have to push the marble down with a tiny device located in the cap.
