What a terribly ironic name you have, English Nazi.
Call right now and we’ll throw in a Pet Turd Canby bar AT NO EXTRA COST!
FAIL! Dogs don’t sweat…
Actually, the pads of their feet do. Only their back ones, though, if I remember correctly.
no, they can’t sweat, i have 8 dogs, i’d know. hance why they pant.
Well you are officially a dumb ass.
Dogs sweat through their paws, google it if you don’t believe me.
…How the hell do you support having 8 dogs? Do you live with them in a pack or something?
But faildogs sweat.
Yes they sweat u dumbass…

LOL
They can’t sweat. That’s why they pant. Their tongue hangs out, they take short, shallow breaths. They can’t sweat.
They can’t look up, either.
WHERE ARE YOU GASMAN?
Damn that was probably the best opportunity for gasman if there ever was one.
lol. gasman fail.
I’ll bend… *wink wink* but promise it will hurt…
bend you?
this is in japan there they has drinks called calpis , poca sweat and this caned jello stuff
Bukakke much?
Information Fail.
Pocari Sweat.
Poca sweat’s probably what you get from your backroom card game in an unairconditioned room
Huh. Is the water marketed for pets specifically, I wonder? Were it just the name by itself, I’d think it was just classic Engrish, but with the picture of the dog…
Yes, this is water marketed for pets. It supposedly for when you’re taking the animal out, since Japan doesn’t have a lot of places where your dog could drink from the water fountain if you’re taking it for a walk or run. So it’s both a case of Engrish and clever marketing, perhaps?
More likely it’s a spoof of a Japanese sport drink called ‘Pocari Sweat’
Though doesn’t change the fact it’s engrish.
It’s not a spoof, it’s a spin-off product from the same company.
PET is just the name for a type of bottle that drinks commonly come in in Japan.

Literacy Fail!
FAIL ON AN EPIC SCALE
Do they also have diet pet sweat?
or a less salty version?
Pet Sweat Lite
I think they mean sweet?
No, they mean sweat; it’s a beverage for “active” pets, ie, when your pet sweats, give him that to drink. Like Gatorade.
Except that dogs don’t sweat. Biology Fail!
Hahaha….you are right! I was gonna come in here and type about how this is not a fail where this product is marketed, as Japanese don’t find it weird to write “sweat” on a bottle that is supposed to replenish what you loose when you sweat. It makes sense I think…BUT NOT TO A DOG HAHAHAHA.
It IS a fail!!!
I don’t loose (or tight) anything when I sweat.
I don’t loose (or tight) anything when I sweat.
Doesn’t matter. Japanese dogs can’t read English labels.
Over analysis fail.
Dogs sweat out of the part of their body that doesn’t have fur, the pads of their feet. You fail.
Is that why their feet smell like Fritos corn chips?
Hilarious. Exactly. I always thought that odor was familiar. I have two big dogs with stinky corn chip paws.
Yup. I’ve actually tasted the Pocari Sweat for humans, and f the Pet Sweat is at all similar, I feel bad for the dog! (Then again, dogs, given teh opportunity, will et out of litter boxes…)
That was supposed to go to another commetn. Posting Fail.
Why are you sniffing your dogs’ feet? Or are they simply allowed to get too close sometimes?
Yeah!
For the purpose of marketing this drink, it doesn’t matter if dogs do or don’t sweat, really.
Just like anywhere else, they market whatever they think will sell. Since it’s so hot and humid in most of Japan during the summer, sports drinks are popular. And since folks like to treat their pets like people (and groom them and dress them up in clothes), of course companies like the makers of “Pocari Sweat” would make a “pet” version.
People are idiots for putting their dogs on the same plane as humans. Hey, IT’S A STINKIN DOG!
This is what happens when people choose to have children later and later and/or not have children at all – their pets *become* their children. Personally, I’m thankful that a lot of the people who bring their dogs into the boarding facility where I work have chosen not to reproduce.
Agree with you there. Social engineering WIN!
Emotional fail.
Putting them on the same ship as humans is a-OK though.

Yummi
shut up and die(slowly)
Gourmet FAIL!
Perhaps the name should be “Pet Sweet”?
Perhaps, Perhaps…
Perhaps it should be “Vet Sweat”?
tasty.. yummeh~~
No, it’s actually ’sweat’. There a famous drin in japan called ‘Pocari Sweat’ (Don’t ask me why it’s called like that) and I first thought this was the PET-version…. but the dog really makes me wonder.
See my misplaced comment above. I’ve been there, I’ve tasted the human version. But a drink called dirty gym socks wouldn’t sell well, even in Engrish. They should stick with Calpis. Much tastier, and just as yuckky sounding when pronounced – it comes out sounding like either cat piss or cow piss. At least it comes in a pretty blue bottle!
Not saying this necessarily means anything one way or the other, but in Japan, plastic bottles are referred to as “PET” bottles (because of the specific kind of plastic used). Adds some context for those who don’t know this, but it could be entirely unrelated.
yeah maybe. what with the dog on the label. because in japan they have a specific kind of plastic made of 72% dog, 18% sweat and 10% polymer.
OLD!!!! POST FAIL!!!!
In soviet russia pets drinks you
Fail
i dont know what you drink, but i dont drink pets
good for you?
maybe you should move to soviet russia and order a hamburger.
nazi
lol
Yes?
Ew! LOL!!!
LAST!
Double Fail- One for the marketing, and one because dogs don’t sweat. They pant
This is supposed to take the place of sweat for your dog….just pour it on him, and he too can look like he just did an intense session at the gym. (Headband and fake iPod buds included with purchase of a full case.)
best comment! LOL!
win!
Dogs sweat out of the part of their body that doesn’t have fur, the pads of their feet.
Ok, the eco-hippies have gone to far now….
Polyethylenterephthalat-WIN!
Say what?
geshundheit! (sp?)
LAST !!
I hate the Engrish fails. The only thing they are is failed translation. I don’t understand why these get so much attention.
understanding fail.
Why don’t they just call it “Dog Piss”….that’s how they loose most of their water and minerals…not by sweating, by pissing.
Preferably on a nerd
God damn, does anybody around here understand the difference between lose and loose?
Win!
Rofl @ spelling Nazi!
hookers?
prostitutional win
You should loose this website from your favorites, excuse me while I go losen various orifices of your mother.
Hear Hear! Which is the original call, not Here here! Being an English/spelling/grammar nazi myself, and being married to one, I’m surprised I find the Cheezburger/hotdog stuff funnny at all. And I really hate it when I post and find that my keyboard has mysteriously NOT included letters I KNOW I typed!
it’s actually no fail. pets are not able to sweat. this function is very important to cool down. however normal water does it as well, but it’s a nice marketing strategy!
Dogs sweat out of the part of their body that doesn’t have fur, the pads of their feet. Why don’t people understand this?!
because they’re far too busy confusing lose and loose with one another.
Should we cut them loose when they lose? Perhaps it is our being loose on them allowing them that allows them to lose, and thereby allowing us cut loose with laughter because they can’t spell. They lose. Laughter WIN!
Coherence FAIL!
WIN!
They don’t understand it because it’s much harder to /see/ them sweat there. Like most Americans, they believe that the only way dogs cool down is by panting. They are not entirely wrong – panting is the most EFFECTIVE way for them (dogs, not Americans) to release heat – but they do sweat from the pads of their feet.
Also… “lose” is a verb, meaning the opposite of “gain” or “find”. “LOOSE” is a verb or an adjective, meaning the opposite of “tighten” or “tight”. Get it straight, people.
Yes but can you loosen something straightly, or straighten something loosely? Even then, you can have a straight loss, may lose in straight sets, and may lose the nut that you loosened when you straighten up your workspace.
Sorry, wordplay win.
True enough. Props for that.
Is /see/ some sort of Javascript function?
Sweat drinks in Japan are sports drinks. They are meant to replenish both water and electrolytes. This is a sports drink for dogs, not that they even need it.
You’ve obviously never seen Air Bud.

the future of drinking water
POCARI SWEAT!
“The reference to the bodily fluid resulting from perspiration in the name of the beverage tends to have a certain offputting or humorous connotation for native English speakers. However, the name was chosen by the manufacturers originally for the purpose of marketing the product as a sports drink in Japan, where people generally do not mentally translate names appearing in English and are therefore not bothered by the connotation. It was largely derived from the notion of what it is intended to supply to the drinker: all of the nutrients and electrolytes lost when sweating (the first part of the name, Pocari, means “like a cloud floating in the sky” or “a situation in which a cloud is floating in the sky” in Japanese, and has a connotation of lightness, buoyancy, and ease). “Sweat” was apparently intended to suggest diligence and its fruits—the idea intending to connote to the user that Pocari Sweat works to make one feel fresh and relaxed. However, some Japanese apparently drop “Sweat” from the name in common usage.”
uninteresting needlessly long fail
Is that water? Interesting… It looks like pee…
Where’s R. Kelly when you need him?
…more like Engrish fail.
Does this mean this water is not Vegan?
LOL one of my friends has a drink called something Sweat and I was like…. “WTF.” When I saw her drinking it.
ANOTHER DUPLICATE FAIL!!!!
Check your old fails failblog!
Its actually a bottle of water made *For* dogs. It has electrolytes and other important vitamins that dogs just *cant* live without.
All the failures in here cant even fail properly.
And all the freedomfries in here CAN’T use an apostrophe correctly.
Win !!
what is URI
FURTHER INVESTIGATION FAIL! Actually… this is probably something used as a deterrent for rabbits in a garden… They tend to stay away from areas they think have wolves, and this makes it smell like there is a wolf there, so they don’t go there.
PET is a kind of plastic. But why they put the PET word so big? Usually the kind of plastic that the producer’s use is labelled on the very bottom side of the bottle with a very tiny font size. Am i correct or i can haz correcshun ? srsly…
It’s bottled water for dogs actually
The actualy joke in here: DOGS DONT SWEAT!
Thank you
i am more concerned about the use of bottled water!
crazy japanese! hahahah lmao r!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
‘ello Failblog.
But dogs can’t sweat! This is bullcrap!
You’re missing the point.
oh and apparently according to the bottle it contains lots of calcium.
This is sort of misleading, since it appears to be bottled water for pets:
