Pocari Sweat

[Drewhunz 3]

My friend is a kinesiologist and a personal trainer and swears by this stuff. He claimed it was like Gatorade and only drinks this stuff when he works out. He gave me a can to see what I thought when I played hockey this week. As I put it in my bottle, I couldn't help but notice that it is a yellowish/gray color and smelled salty but sweet. I took a swig. I had uncontrolable dry heaves for a good 15 minutes. STAY FAR FAR AWAY. It could only be described as pure torture in a can. It is called Pocari Sweat due to the fact that its formulation is supposed to mimic sweat, and thus be more readily absorbed into the body. FROM NOW ON, I'M TAKING MY CHANCES AND ONLY DRINKING PLAIN OLD WATER.

He claims that it keeps him hydrated better than any water or sports drink. By the way- he's a vegan who wears those stupid vegetarian shoes and Phish t-shirts. Boy has he changed since high school!

I hadn't ever heard of this before you posted. I thought it was some sort of cologne but after your rave review it sounds like you drank semen =(

Enough said!

I'm pretty sure my sweat isn't carbonated...... I tried this once and it is truly disgusting.

[biff44 0]

I suggest you just ring out your hockey socks after every practice and save the sweat in a bottle. Then just before game time you could add some sugar and chug away!

[mgchockey 0]

lol honestly who would buy that stuff, hmm i think ill pay for a drink that makes me yak and probably doesnt help me any more than water

[pldhockey4 0]

im definately not thinking about trying this, but where would someone find such a drink?

[Drewhunz 3]

I don't know, but after that experience I sure as hell don't want to find out.

Just wait twenty years until you guys have to drink a gallon of GoLightly. I'm sure it makes a ounce of Pocari Sweat seem like an apertif... ;)

A day in the Sahara may make you dehydrated. The flu might dehydrate you, but short of that I have yet to get dehydrated from an hour or two of hockey.

Yes, my doctor friend calls it the number one misnamed product in America. :D

Tell you what, you can drink the next can, and if you don't retch uncontrolably you have my respect.

Unfortunately, I have to do that about once a year (family history of colon cancer). But I would rather drink GoLightly, ipecac syrup (done that for a little of the old cashish) and a case of Beverly than drink Pocari Sweat ever again.

Aren't you glad you did this before you were on the ice and dying of thirst, and in full gear.

That reminds me when I had a case of the runs and discovered just how quickly I could get out of my pads. I guess its all about the motivation.
