High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Pocari Sweat is a popular Japanese soft drink and sports drink, manufactured by Otsuka Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.. It was first sold in 1980. Outside of Japan, it is now also sold in East Asia, South East Asia and the Middle East. Pocari Sweat is a mild-tasting, relatively light sweet drink and advertises itself as an "ion supply drink." It has a mild grapefruit flavor with little aftertaste. Ingredients listed are water, sugar, citric acid, sodium citrate, sodium chloride, potassium chloride, calcium lactate, magnesium carbonate and flavor. It is sold in liquid form, in aluminium cans and plastic bottles, and also in powder form. The reference to the bodily fluid resulting from perspiration in the name of the beverage tends to have a certain offputting or humorous connotation for native English speakers. However, the name was chosen by the manufacturers originally for the purpose of marketing the product as a sports drink in Japan, where people generally do not mentally translate names appearing in English and are therefore not bothered by the connotation.
