Pocari Sweat is so good. I always grab a bottle anytime we go to the japanese store outside chicago. I assumed it was a fake anime product like the way they always turn pepsi into bepsi or something, but no it's real and it's delicious.


Pocari Sweat is great. I live in Osaka now and it's hard to resist constantly drinking the stuff. Aquarius also.


Aquarius (essentially grapefruit, somewhere between soda and sparkling water) is a bit of an acquired taste. And when my school's Japanese club visited in high school, boy, did we acquire it. Lots of "Pocari Sweat" and "Calpis" double entendres flying around, too.


Aquarius is huge in Catalonia as well.


TIL there was a real-world inspiration for Tropic Thunder's Booty Sweat.
