Aquarius is a popular brand of sports drink made by The Coca-Cola Company. It started in 1978 and was first sold in 1983 in Japan. It was originally a grapefruit-flavored drink. Aquarius was created to compete with another sports drink called Pocari Sweat.
The drink became very well-known when it was introduced in Spain and Portugal in 1991. It was even the official drink for several major sporting events, including the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona, the 1994 Winter Olympics in Norway, the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, and the 2020 Summer Olympics. To help people discover it, the brand often gave away free samples at sports events.
