i haven't had pocari sweat since i left korean 8 yrs ago.

 

[Brackis]

Had a bunch in Japan last year (white guy)
Not bad at all but it had a particular aftertaste that made me feel a little nausea.

 

[HardcoreRobot]

oh man i loved that stuff. many hungover days in japan rescued by it...

white guy

 

[PhoenixOrion]

its okay, not that great. the name though is a turn off.

 

[richardycc]

not for me, tasted like a flat very waterdowned fresca soda with msg and salt. nasty stuff!

 

[larciel]

i use to hate it , but once I left Japan I can't get enough of it for some reason.

yeah it tastes nothing like gatorade. It's very flat and almost no taste, but once you get addicted there's no turning back

Yeah it's alright, but nothing really special, I think.

 

[thoro86]

it tastes good only after you're exhausted after sports....

 

[z0mb13]

its great to drink while u are playing golf in hot weather

I think it tastes good, but I kinda grew up on it in Japan. That and Calpico which, in Japan, is pronounced Calpis, which sounds an awful lot like cow piss. It's good stuff once you get past the name.

Oh, did they change it to Calpico here? I enjoy Calpis a lot more than pocari sweat.

Yep, lived in Japan for three years and loved the stuff, though I preferred Aquarius. I didn't stick to one drink though for very long because there were SO many of them there. CC Lemon, anyone?
