Pocari Sweat
Pocari sweat has to be the most famous weird drink on the internet. It's made almost every list of top 10 weird drinks that I've ever read. But the people who made these lists obviously didn't taste the drink. They just looked at the label and thought it had a weird name. Read More >
Nostalgia Drink: Soojeonggwa
This weird drink from Korea tastes like apple pie in a can. A spoonful of cinnamon in every sip. This flavor is really awesome at first, but gets a little overwhelming after a while. It has the after taste of cinnamon, tannin-y. It's smooth and slightly syrupy, and not carbonated.
If you get a chance, definitely try this drink. It's delicious, but one can will be enough. If you're thirsty for other Nostalgia drinks, also check out Shikhye.
Crushed Strawberry Drink
Crushed Strawberry Drink is another crushed-fruit drink from Korea. It smells like one of my favorite candies of all time - the hard candy with liquid filling where the wrapper is designed to look like a strawberry. I'm sure at least some readers know what candy I'm talking about.
The juice itself doesn't taste as good as it smells though - it's a really sweet, flat strawberry flavor. My first instinct was right, and it does taste like the liquid inside of that strawberry candy. The thing that makes this a weird drink though is that it has little chunks of strawberry floating around in it. Most people are used to orange juice having pulp, but not strawberry pulp.
