Yakult
Tiny probiotic bottle
Yakult is a brand of sweetened probiotic milk drink containing the bacterium *Lactobacillus casei*, sold in small plastic bottles.
Originally Japanese, it's now available worldwide and marketed for digestive health.
The name has become somewhat generic for similar fermented milk drinks: I grab a Yakult every morning.
