Wacky Vendables: Pocari Sweat!
Yes, we’ve all heard of the legendary Pocari Sweat, be it from Engrish.com, or through conversations about the silly things of Japan. Now, I have experienced the Pocari Sweat experience, and can now do you the great service of reviewing said beverage.
It advertises itself as an ”Ion supply drink” and the English product description is surprisingly sane. ”POCARI SWEAT is a healthy beverage that smoothly supplies the lost water and electrolytes during perspiration.” Basically, whenever you sweat, replace your lost fluids with Pocari Sweat. Don’t know if it works for other fluids.
The appearance of the liquid was actually a pleasant surprise in a day where every non-health orientated product has been coloured by chemicals to a ”glow in the dark ” status. It was just like water. My first taste was in fact of water with sweeteners, but after further tries I did find it quite nice. The lack of strong flavours is not infact detrimental to the drink, but makes it a nice alternative to plainer drinks as a thrist quenchaa.
I give Pocari Sweat 3.5/5 points!

Your description made me imagine drinking actual sweat... :D
Nice name for a drink. :P
Btw just to let you know, I bought guitar hero 3 and beat it. took 2 days.
If this stuff tastes any better than the water into which you added chilisauce from Pyrys fridge, I suggest drinking Pocari Sweat everyday to rejuvenate your mineral balance!!!
=D
