Thanks to Netflix’s new teen romantic comedy ‘To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before’, Yakult has become the new sensation, with people all over the world flocking to the stories to purchase the drink.

While it has been referred to as the 'Korean yogurt smoothie' in the movie by the protagonist’s sister, Tweeples were quick to point out that it was Yakult -- a dairy product from Japan.

While the shares of Yakult dropped about 6 percent in 2018, it climbed 2.6 percent since the movie’s release on 17 August.

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you know what an important role the ‘yoghurt smoothie’ played in Peter Kavinsky and Lara Jean’s love life. But looks like Yakult has benefitted from their love story too.
