Some of the best snacks in history have been invented by accident. The popular Japanese soft drink, Calpis, is one of those beautiful accidents. The story starts with Kaiun Mishima, a Japanese man who traveled to Inner Mongolia in the early 1900s. The trip was hard on his digestive system. It was only after drinking a type of traditional cultured milk that he felt better. His body and mind felt healed by the drink. When he returned to Japan, Mishima started trying to develop a product similar to the one he had drunk in Mongolia.
