The "sweat" in its name threw me off the first time I saw this drink at a 7-11. The name conjures up images of people on treadmills hooked up to machines that suck sweat. Yeah, eeew.
But that was before. Now, I'm so addicted to it. I first tried it in Tokyo after seeing people there gulp this stuff as they walked the underground walkways. If you need a quick Pocari Sweat fix, no sweat (har.har.), almost every vendo machine in Tokyo carries it.
I love the simple sweet-salty taste. But aside from the taste, I keep on buying it for the element of nostalgia: This drink reminds me of Tokyo.
Pocari sweat is recommended for people with active lifestyles but, that shouldn't stop a lazy ass such as myself from drinking it.
I just wish they came up with a better name. "Pocari sweat", seesh.
