I'm sure you've all seen this documentary before, (it's in korean), it profiles one of the greats, [NC..]Yellow, showing his life, and various interviews with other progamers about him. At around 2:35 in the video they can be seen drinking Pocari Sweat, which is a kind of electrolyte replacement drink from japan, which is probably the most awesome drink ever created, though it sounds disgusting and is just slightly thicker than normal water (flavoured or otherwise) that it feels really weird going down your throat. I know what I'm stocking up on in my quest to reach D+ on iccup!

Yeah I don't get it, why is this big with people from HK? When we were in Beijing our cantonese tour guide was drinking it and when we went to visit relatives in HK it was sold in the stores and stuff.

btw Happy Birthday!

It's not that bad actually, but what is a problem is when you accidentally grab it thinking that it's water and try to chug a nice big gulp only to find out that it's definitely not water that you're chugging. That can really catch you offguard.
