Throughout the 70s, the Osmonds were featured in many commercials for the Japanese soft drink, Calpis. It is an uncarbonated soft drink.  The beverage has a light, somewhat milky, and slightly acidic flavor, similar to plain or vanilla-flavored yogurt.  Its ingredients include water, nonfat dry milk and lactic acid, and is produced by lactic acid fermentation.  The drink is sold as a concentrate which is mixed with water or sometimes milk just before consumption. It was first marketed on July 7, 1919. It quickly became popular in pre-war Japan as its concentrated form meant it kept well without refrigeration.
