Talk:Pocari Sweat

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)

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. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 86.5.110.43 (talk • contribs).

A businessman I teach English to is head of strategy at rival Lotte Duty Free. He insists the name is, in true Japanese style, a shortening of 'POwer, CAloRIes, Sweat' - the 3 things the drink professes to replace. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 115.94.73.122 (talk • contribs)
 * Perhaps he can find a text reference for this for you? Preferably in English?Doctorx0079 (talk) 23:05, 25 November 2009 (UTC)

Ingredients and Product origin?
I have a bottle beside me. It says Product of Taiwan, and has different ingredients listed than on the main page. The ingredients listed are: Water, sugar, fructose, citric acid, sodium citrate, sodium chloride, potassium chloride, calcium lactate, natural flavor, magnesium carbonate, and vitamin C.

Someone may want to update the article with this information. I can provide proof (picture of the bottle) if needed.

I would edit the article, but I'm new to wikipedia.

Maybe there is regional differences? If so, this should be listed in the article. As my tainwan bottle apparently has different ingredients than the Japanese bottle.

Name Contradiction
"The first part of the name, Pocari, does not have any meaning; the word was coined for its light, bright sound.[5]" "Cloud Nine (disambiguation) (a term which has some similar connotations in English to pocari in Japanese, except that the idea in English is more of joy than of relief or calmness)" Hmm? 09:46, 3 December 2012 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.189.46.33 (talk)
