This week's puzzler:



What? Why?
Open to anyone who can provide an explanation or hazzard a guess.



The product marketed by the "Otani Slim Company" is not what's actually in this package!

I must also claim an advantage. I read the Japanese and can understand all of it. However, the funny thing is that it is still somewhat mysterious. I would guess a diet drink? If I'm wrong, can I post what the Japanese means so that others might guess?

Oh, my! I just went to the website and realised that I am quite wrong! Japanese marketing is so crazy! I don't think that translating the package would help at all...

Just because a translation wouldn't make sense doesn't mean you shouldn't write it anyway.

We want answers here.

Translate away!

Oh, please do provide translations of the text if you can.

" I would guess a diet drink? "

Close; very warm.

"If I'm wrong, can I post what the Japanese means so that others might guess?"

Please do post what the Japanese says.

And can you offer an explanation as to point 3, why what's in the package is not the same as the producted marketed by Otani Slim Company? My friend says it's a fairly common marketing gimick in Japan.
