Impromptu Taste Test: The Cult of Yakult

Ooh, I have fond of memories of this. It was a staple in my childhood, and it was always a treat. There was always something so pleasurable about tearing off that red and silver foil cover.

I'm now in my 30s, and I've rediscovered this drink. I just decided to buy three packs when I chanced upon a vendor on our street, since it was so humid. Great decision! I am now stashing packs in my fridge. If anyone asks, I'm citing the health-probiotic thingy as my reason for drinking it :-P.

It brings me back to childhood. They do taste the best when frozen!

There is a bar/restaurant called Maru on 32nd street in KTown NYC that serves a cocktail featuring this little drink. It is so tasty! If you are a fan, I would go seek this out.

Had this growing up too and was surprised to see the marketing lately.

I used to freeze it then eat it like a miniature slushy. I'd use a chopstick to fluff up the frozen goodness.

I was excited to find this in the local market, bought it, and then discovered it was made in Mexico. My concern is that there have been so many recalls recently on food products made in Mexico. Thoughts/input welcome. Thanks.

@ilovermonteats: Yes, Yakult is a probiotic.

Although Yakult has a high sugar concentration, given it small bottle size (65 ml), it only has 11 grams of sugar per serving, which is less than the amount of sugar in most yogurts (except plain yogurts or those with sweeteners).

Yakult is great, just too small! Had it growing up in Brazil!

Impromptu Taste Test: The Cult of Yakult

I grew up in Paraguay, South America, and all of my Chinese and Korean classmates brought Yakult (imported from Brazil) to school every single day. I never tried it ... I remember the color of it kind of freaking me out as a child, so even now I'm irrationally afraid to taste it.

Oh yeah, very fond memories of this stuff. I still grab it from Asian supermarkets every once in a while.

It's a nice tiny snack. I generally make it last by using my nail to push only a tiny hole in the foil and suck it out a small amount at a time. Just enough to coat the tongue and get the flavor.

I like virtually all fruit, so I can't pick.

But my favorite fruit-related thing is the signs in the grocery store this time of year advertising "Personal-sized watermelons." I always have to wonder . . . You hear those stories.
