Omani Grocery Store

We asked our cabbie to take us to a regular grocery store. It’s always fun to see what’s for sale around the world.

Along with the ubiquitous Pringles, several cylinders of which our German companions bought, I saw a sports drink called “Pocari Sweat.”

As a fan of the movie “Tropic Thunder,” I couldn’t help but think of “Booty Sweat.” In retrospect, I wish I’d bought some just to see what it’s like.

I’m curious about the name, as well. Who or what exactly is Pocari???Weiterlesen
