Talk:Pocari Sweat

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I always thought it was a mixture between sour orange juice and pepper. What ingredients were those? Mike H 06:13, Sep 4, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] The meaning of the name?

What is the name supposed to mean? Is it intended to refer to sweat as a way to relate the product to sports and exercise? Or does it have some other intended meaning and it's just an (unfortunate) coincidence? Maybe it's a phonetic transliteration? Does Pocari mean anything or is it just a name? Pimlottc

I believe it's Engrish for "sweet", in most English words spelled with "eat", it rhymes on "sweet", so it's an acceptable mistake, although I'm surprised that it went as far as the shops. 惑乱 分からん 00:13, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

Hmmm, it's "suetto" in Katakana, though, not "suiito", so I might have been wrong. 惑乱 分からん 12:16, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

My dad brought me a bottle of this stuff from Japan once when he went there on business. I remember that the description described it as being a drink that replaced the ions lost through sweat and that it "closely resembled human sweat" or words to that effect. The other thing was that it tasted like Lilt, a pineapple and grapefruit soft drink we get in the U.K. I'm not going to put any of this in the article itself, because I'm remembering from years ago, but I hope it comes in handy.

[edit] Stivia

Is stivia meant to be stevia?

[edit] MSG

I was surprised to find MSG in the ingredients list on a recently purchased bottle. MSG is not listed in the article's list of ingredients. Is this new? Algorythmic 17:49, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
