Pamparo in Toronto

My wife, Tin, and I always find interesting things whenever we go grocery shopping in an Asian store. Tonight was particularly funny seeing a “drink” aptly named “Pocari Sweat”! Tin was so amazed that she even took a picture of it. A minute after, I saw a Chinese (at least that’s what I think) guy descent grab one and put it in his basket. He probably knows something that we don’t! Apparently, he did. Me being an internet junkie, google’d the name as soon as I got home. Pocari Sweat is a drink that came from Japan and is known through out Asia as a supplement for fluid loss ala Gatorade. Now I feel bad for not buying one to try! Grrrr … oh well …

Here’s the wiki site: Pocari Sweat

So next time you go to the grocery store, try to look around. You never know what you are going to find!
