Pocari Sweat actually started in Japan back in 1980, and the story behind it is pretty wild. The creator got the idea after hearing a doctor talk about how IV drips help patients recover faster. The goal was to make a drink that could quickly replenish fluids and electrolytes, just like an IV, but in a tasty, drinkable form. That’s why it’s not super sweet and doesn’t have that heavy soda vibe. It’s all about hydration science, not just flavor. #FoodKnowledge #hydrationfacts #PocariSweat #Food
