Pocari Sweat

Pocari Sweat is a Japanese water drink that replenishes your body with electrolytes. It is supposedly the ultimate solution for rehydrating your body after a sweaty workout, hot bath, or diarrhea. As usual, I pulled up Pocari Sweat's website to see what I could see. The Japanese version of the site exclaims "FAST SUPPLY, KEEP LONG!". While the English-language version is a bit more useful (to me). But, the most unusual content can be found at good ol' pocarisweat.com. I am the Ostrich Man??

The beverage is strangely foggy, like Fresca, but not carbonated. Hmm...it smells kind of grapefruity like Fresca too. I thought this would just be water with a strange viscosity to it (like Smartwater). Ugh. There's something disconcerting about the flavor. It's like really watered down lemon lime Gatorade but with a slightly syrupy mouthfeel. Welcome to the future. Like Brawndo, it has what plants crave. It has electrolytes.
