frozen drink

[kerri]

Hello everyone,
When we were in japan a friend gave us these drinks. We recently found them and were wondering if anyone can give us some info on how long they can stay in the fridge or do they go bad if not frozen.
Arigato in advance

They look like (almost certain they are) Yakult in the UK. They're those healthy yogurt drinks, and I dont know why they're frozen because here we drink them as normal.

It is Yakult, a Japanese probiotic shake. The bottle in your picture is Korean. You can probably find them in an asian food market, but there is a Yakult USA: Yakult & Yakult Light | Probiotic Drink

the original Japanese bottle:


German version:

Many of Taiwan-Chinese friends love this stuff

Yakult originated from Japan? Didn't know that. I used to drink it a lot as a kid. I always thought there was not enough to drink (leaving aside the fact it's not meant to be consumed in large quantities), and so never really quenched my thirst in times of need.

I've seen the third version the most. The version sold in the UK is even smaller in size.

Yakult is famous Japanese yogurt drink.
German version, Chinese version... yes, they are also Yakult we know.

But Korean one is not Yakult.
It's COPY.
