Pocari Sweat

The other day, I saw this price tag in the office cafeteria.

Pocari sweat? Who is Pocari and why is his sweat so valuable?

I looked at each of the bottles, but couldn’t find anything that could be mistyped as Pocari sweat.

But then, I noticed that the rack below it was not empty.

Turns out that it is a drink!

When I posted this on Facebook, a friend informed me that it is the Japanese version of 100 Plus.

And guess what, it existed since 1980. It is older than me!
