So it surely looks like Yakult isn't the lone dog running the probiotic drink show these days. Last week, while walking around the neighborhood [and seeing that everything is closed due to the Lenten holiday], I stumbled upon what looks to me like Yakult's new competitor.
I tried it and wasn't too impressed. It doesn't have the same taste as Yakult, which may be a good thing or a bad thing depending on who you ask, but more like milk mixed with a teensy bitsy amount of Yakult. Then that's Bear Brand's Probiotic drink.
