UPDATE: It seems that the source of this urban legend of a Japanese "Mucos" drink comes from the very dated and poorly researched book "Forgotten Fads and Fabulous Flops" published as humor by "Rhino Presents" in 1995.

Amazon.com's blurb....Not to be missed is the section on product names that didn't translate well, such as Asian beverages Pipi and Mucos...

Some wags on the Internet are saying that “Mucos” is a Philippine drink named after Ferdinand Marcos, ri-i-i-ight.
However, I think the Japanese “Mucos” drink is just an urban legend.

I like this drink sold in Japan,
DELHIMUCOS [デルヒムコス], ha, ha.
