![[image loading]](http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Fk-fDl8nQmI/SnVjlPFsiLI/AAAAAAAAAQ4/Idvcure_w4s/s400/Pocari+Sweat.jpg) Yeah,its something like that. I never thought I'd see Pocari Sweat in the states, like the Golden Fleece it was far, far away. But apparently at our Asian Food market, one day they started offering it. And I have tasted the nectar of the gods! Seriously though, the drink is pretty decent. The price is a little much, but for an import from Japan and a relic of our community, I'm glad to have it. Cheers everyone!   | ||

(I'm born/lived in Japan, I'd know okaie guise) the water is just about free 2 cents, if not less, for the powders they mix with the water 10 cents for a plastic bottle (you see no cans? they cost too much) --> Sell at 145 Yen See how much profit that makes? | ||

water flavored gatoraid is a fair description as someone on TL put it. I thought of it as like water you get at a restaurant that comes with a lemon in it, and then dump in a couple packs of sugar. water+sugar+lemon sounds like lemonaid, but its not the same. It would be like lemonaid, if lemonaid had less lemon in it. That doesn't sound very good, but it is. | ||

It's cheaper if it has none... Nah, the real reason is that gas would be a nuisance and contravene it's main purpose. This is what Pocari Sweat is for: You're in Tokyo, in the summer. Right there that's 34-36-38 degrees (Centigrade mind you), add on top of that near 90-100% humidity (especially during typhoon season). You've just gotten off a jam-packed commuter sub-way train. Your personal fan is broken, your handkerchief is soaked through (as are your shirt and underwear) and you're dehydrated like hell. Now what are you going to want to buy from the drink-dispensers found every 1/10m^2 in Japan? Buy a sweet, cool, refreshing drink to try and restore your ~electrolytes~. ... no gas, plox. | ||
