Aquarius sports drink

Aquarius is a mineral sports drink introduced in Japan in 1983 by The Coca-Cola Company. It was developed as a response to the competitor's brand, Pocari Sweat, and was first introduced in Spain and Portugal in 1991. The brand has been marketed in various countries, including Spain, Japan, Argentina, Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Chile, China, France, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Luxembourg, Macau, Morocco, the Netherlands, Peru, Portugal, Serbia, Singapore, Switzerland, Taiwan, and Thailand. The majority of its consumers are non-athletes. Aquarius is available in flavors such as Citrus Blend, Grapefruit, Lemon, Orange, Watermelon, Red Peach, Blueberry, and Tropical, with availability varying by country. In Malaysia and the Maldives, bottled water is also available under the Aquarius brand. The drink contains electrolytes and minerals to provide hydration for an active life. In Spain, Aquarius is marketed as a functional water drink, with variants like Aquarius Water+ Lemon Zinc and Aquarius Water+ Magnesium Blood Orange, which are infused with additional minerals to support hydration and reduce fatigue. The brand has been associated with 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.
