I've written about chopsticks a few times, but never focused too much on how it's wrong to rub the waribashi together (I mention that in one column about a restaurant that had notes telling customers not to do it, I think). But here's column from way back in 2000 that I might copy and re-use as a blog posting: http://nikkeiview.com/nv/archives00/100900.htm Hi Linda, thanks for the comment and reminder about chopsticks.

I still get creeped out when people pour sugar in ocha. And the idea of eating American rice pudding grosses me out to the point that it even makes my teeth hurt. I would try Pepsi with shiso, though. Should check your archives on how annoying people are when they break apart chopsticks and rub the sticks together. Gil–Thank you!

Frankly, I don't know how does the addition of a small ingredient in a drink like cola or pepsi (which is strongly cola flavoured) gonna even slightly change its taste. I remember when pepsi had a lime twist limited release I used to wonder where did the lime go!! ha ha.
