This one is for all you William Gibson fans (like me). On first glance to North Americans it looks like something sweet, but no it does actually say sweat. I wonder if that is supposed to taste good? My wife, once, when she was in a hurry and very thirsty was running by a drink machine, (which there are a lot of in Japan). Quickly she popped in her change and thought, hmmm, something sweet might be nice. Almost needless to say but not quite since it adds to the story, she reread the can after the first sip. Kampai!

What is a Pocari!?
Pocari (I am assuming) is a brand name similar to Gatorade. I shall enquire further of those in the know.
In William Gibson's book Idoru, one of the characters is drinking a Pocari Sweat at some point in the story. (That is unfortunatly as detailed as I can remember it).
Yah!! it's like Gatorade! It has all the salt stuff to replenish stuff you lose! Hense the name... it's like replacing your lost sweat by.. drinking... Sweat? :> Japan's Gatorade! How does it taste?
