First launched in Japan in 1983 as a response to rival Pocari Sweat, the Aquarius drink from Coca-Cola is a hydrating, electrolyte-replenishing beverage that has since expanded to multiple markets worldwide. Primarily marketed as a sports drink, its composition and consumer base vary significantly by region, from a low-calorie functional water in some places to a traditional isotonic beverage in others.

Globally, Coca-Cola adjusts its sweetener formula based on regional markets, a practice that leads to significant taste variations. While many countries use a form of sugar, the specific blend can change, leading many to question the exact ingredients in products sold in Japan.
