Tried the grape flavor today. It's almost as good as regular Gatorade, but only 25 calories per serving.

Better than Gatorade made from powder mix. Not better than Gatorade bought in bottles.

A- Will buy again.

awesome, I considered making a thread about it


because I drink a ton of gatorade


glad to know it's decent

1/18/2008 3:16:37 PM

Water ftw.. seriously, this might be ok though.

Regular Gatorade actually dehydrates you if you don't drink enough water... from what I've been told.

It was $1 for 32 ounce bottles at Food Lion earlier in the week so I bought like 15 of them. I'm glad it isn't crappy. Might still be on sale.

god damnit.

gatorade from the mix is superior for glycogen replinishing. high fructose corn syrup used in prebottled might as well cancel out the purpose for drinking gatorade.

Certain sugars at the right time is not a bad thing.


However, sitting on your ass all day and drinking gatorade is absolutely fucking retarded. Drink some water.

Chill out Lance Armstrong. Nobody here cares about their Glycogen stores.

1/18/2008 3:19:08 PM

I usually just drink some before I go to bed if I'm drinking and shit


and then some more when I wake up along with some water

1/18/2008 3:19:13 PM

COKE WITH A TEASPOON OF SUGAR FTW !!!!

I tried the fruit punch flavor in an effort to rehydrate myself a few weeks ago. I thought it was really good.

1/18/2008 3:22:44 PM

^^ I used to always drink a ton of soda and would always wonder why I'd be so dehydrated and cramp up at the gym playing basketball... since i started drinking water exclusively during the day it's so much easier playing for an extended amount of time...

/Random thought.

zing!

1/18/2008 3:24:39 PM

I'm just joking with you arcgreek. I drink at least 100 oz of water per day. It's good to have other options. I obviously wasn't commenting on it's value as a sports drink though.

1/18/2008 3:25:08 PM

i dont drink enough water period.

1/18/2008 3:25:39 PM

we are in a drought

thanks assholes

1/18/2008 3:26:24 PM

I'm doing my best to help the drought......I took 3 showers yesterday, and will take 2 today...

1/18/2008 3:27:21 PM

Not out here... the last few weeks I've damn near needed an arc to get to work.

As far as me being an idiot... when I was in high school I used to be able to drink a 12 pack of brews and get up at 8am and play ball all day with no ill effects... so I never though a few sodas at work would have that much of an impact, but they did.

1/18/2008 3:27:51 PM

It doesn't taste like a "diet" drink to me. You know how you taste diet soda and it just reeks of aspartame or whatever they used to sweeten it? Or you drink orangeade and it just tastes like watery OJ with splenda? It's not like that. It's more like it has the same amount of grape flavoring, but it is slightly watered down on the sweetener side.

A- Will drink again.

1/18/2008 3:28:02 PM

the red kind taste like melted jello and/or melted popcicles

C- at best.

1/18/2008 3:28:14 PM

^ I have a few bottles of that. I'll just give them to guests if it sucks.

i don't think that's right

i know it replenishes electrolites, which is why it's better to drink that if you hungover, but i don't think it will dehydrate you

1/18/2008 3:37:37 PM

sweet, ill get a few for a 2 day swim meet in a week.... probably will drink half and half, since you usually don't eat a lot on a meet day

1/18/2008 3:39:19 PM

Update:
Fruit Punch is awful IMO. I agree with eightysix. It tastes like un-gelled Jello. Skwinkle seems to like it, so maybe it's worth a try.

Orange and purple are both pretty good.

1/24/2008 10:42:34 PM

original lemon-lime gatorade ftw

1/24/2008 10:45:28 PM

i tried the orange g2, its terrible

1/25/2008 12:08:26 AM

I only drink vitamin water
