Aquarius (アクエリアス) is a popular sports drink brand. It is owned by The Coca-Cola Company. Aquarius first started in Japan in 1983. It was made to be a refreshing drink for active people.
Aquarius has been the official drink for many big sports events. This includes the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona, Spain. It was also the official drink for the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, China. Later, it was featured at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
