Trivia
[Hardcore] Japanese drinking it first time get brain-bugged wondering 'Why is the water salty and smelling like curry (cumin)?!', but in 40°C+ Indian summers, it's the ultimate 'Ayurvedic Pocari Sweat' instantly replenishing lost minerals/salt and slapping awake heat-weakened stomachs.
Eating tips & etiquette
[Unique Usage] Not just dissolving in water, but sprinkle directly as 'magic powder' over cut apples/watermelon/cucumber, enjoying the chaotic contrast of sweetness and sour-saltiness like a street stall!
