What is Gatorade ? Some kind of fizzy pop (as we call it in England ?)

Sorry, I got knocked offline right when I posted.
Gatorade is a non-carbonated sports drink that has extra salt and potassium in it for very active people. The more you need it the better it will taste to you,if it tastes yucky and really salty you don't need to be drinking it.
The blue flavors and the raspberry lemonade flavors taste OK but the lemonlime is horrible!

I'm with Dook, I like Propel, it only has I think 2-3 grams of sugar per serving, Gatorade's is as high as soda if I recall correctly.

I tried gatorade one time just to see what it tasted like. It was gross

Yuck no. It tastes too artificial.

It taste like sugary battery acid. I never liked when I was in college 10 yrs ago and I hate that shit now .

nope

OH HELL YES

I love me some Gatorade!
I drink almost all of the flavors.
I drink it almost every day.

in fact, I have really cut back on all the sodas (Coke, Canada Dry, etc.) & juices that have SO MUCH SUGAR in them
& I drink a lot more Gatorade
along with the usual water at most other times
& typically red wine with dinner.


I hear a lot of people say that they don't like the taste of Gatorade or that it "tastes funny"..
well, people will think what they think, but it seems many people "confuse" Gatorade with a juice drink or Kool-Aid type thing, & they think it's going to be sweeter than it is..
Gatorade is a SPORTS DRINK. it is specifically made to replenish the body with things the body loses during/after strenuous physical activity - playing a team sport, doing aerobics, cycling, running - anything like this. YES, some/many of the ingredients in Gatorade don't "taste good", but that's not the point. the point is to give back to the body what it has lost.

for anyone who does not like Gatorade.. I am sure that if you tried enough of the varieties - you would probably find at least 1 flavor that you could stand to swallow.. even like!


after I've worked out for 2 hours
or after 3 hours of rollerblading NON-STOP..
or playing football for 3 or more hours..
THE ONLY THING I WANT TO SEE
IS SOME ICE COLD GATORADE.
preferably ORANGE or "CLEAR ORANGE".


1 of the (smaller) reasons I prefer Italia to France now
is that I almost NEVER see Gatorade in France (but people tell me I can buy it there.. WHERE, I don't know..)
but I've seen Gatorade in Milano, in Roma, in Verona, in Napoli..
every city I've visited in Italia, I have seen

Gatorade

The Thirst Quencher.
The Gut Wrencher.
The Body Drencher.

yes. often.

I prefer Powerade but I drink Gatorade too,all the time. The Fruit Punch flavor only.

Propel is the shit.

But on the org, A LOT of people drink HATERADE.

Gatorade's ok for when I'm feeling dehydrated. Who remembers All-Sport? now that was some nasty stuff, it was like gatorade and soda combined. I think it's discontinued now, because I never see it in stores anymore...thank god.

I remember it from the college care packages that they used to give my dorm. That stuff was more gross than Gatorade.

NOTHING beats Jesus Juice - "The Sport Drink that gives you that 'boyish' workout!"


COMES in ALL flavors.

Amen! I work out four days a week and there's nothing better! I like the fruit punch flavor.

its just water down kool aid--O YEAH

i just add 4 packs of sugar to mine

SIRTONY said:

Yeah Kool Aid w/caffiene.

Drank some the other day for the first time in ages. It didn't taste too bad, but I wouldn't make a habit of it. Too much sugar.

I drink it sometimes at work (the kitchen I'm in can reach 120 degrees). I like it, altho it kinda tastes like melted sno cones after you've sucked all the flavor out.

ORANGE

I love anything artificially orange flavored!

for DiamondGirl, uptownNY & all other lovers of Gatorade - the best thing you can drink when you're thirsty :






& for myself, a bottle of the Thirst Quencher.. in the plastic bottle they sell all over Italia..




aaaaahhhhh..

I remember a few years ago, I drank almost nothing but Powerade, the Coca-Cola cheaper knock off of it. They sold it cold where I worked, which they did not do with more expensive Gatorade. I ended up getting really sick of it and would think twice before doing that again. Gatorade also tastes more watered down. Not a fan. But damn, do I see a lot of people buy it like it's going out of fashion!

YUCK!
