It is painfully funny to watch how chubby I was…

I remember this brand from when I lived a summer in Japan.  They have a drink named "Pocari Sweat" and it is a best seller.  Sweat?!  Apparently in Japan, perspiration is associated with rejuvenating freshness.  Now here is a line extension for Pocari Sweat in powder form.  Mmmm.
