I got hooked on that candy too, thanks to Naomi. It actually comes in different flavors, but the blue one is flavored like the Japanese soft drink called Ramune ("rom-nay"), which comes in a bigger glass bottle in the same shape. Just had Ramune with lunch today in fact.

The drink bottles have a neat little gimmick - you open them by popping this little glass marble stopper into the bottle, which stays there and rattles around. The "eyes" on the bottle are there to keep the marble from rolling back to block the opening when you drink. I've never seen the candy or drink bottle with the "mouth" part below the "eyes" though.
