Sugary salt water with dye(s).

The average person doesn't sweat enough to require replacing blood salinity with supplements like sports drinks. Does more harm than good. Drink ice water if you're thirsty.

Electrolytes have what plants crave.

I usually only drink powerade zero if I'm sick, but once in a while I'll buy one of those little blue 12oz gatorades when I work outside in the summer.

My dad drinks the lemonlime and orange gatorades a lot but he's also an alcoholic so I think he has them stocked up for hangovers

I'm an alcoholic and water makes my mouth dry

>>9204824
Do Americans really drink Gatorade recreationally?

>drink ice water if you're thirsty

No drink room temp you mongoloid.

>Do Americans really

I like to get my minerals from whole plant foods :-)

The vast majority is consumed by those doing nothing athletic. The formula was changed to appeal to them.

>>9204893
Gotta get the HFCS in somehow.

>>9204933
Gatorade has regular sugar, not hfcs.

Maybe but they're still a bunch of fat cunts.

>>9204948
Wrong

>>9204834
This anyone who drinks this shit is just one of those "I don't like the taste of water" fags

Yellow and purple.

Powerade is more watery.
Gatorade is more salty.

I refuse to call them by their flavors they are colors. Yellow flavor and purple flavor.

>>9204824
For me, it's green apple Gatorade, the best sports drink.

I don't drink them often, but they're pretty refreshing after you've been working in the sun for a while.

>>9205228
That sounds fucking terrible.

>>9204824
wasn't all-sport made by purina when it first came out?

>>9205228
Gatorade needs to STOP with this grey label shit, it looks utterly unappealing

Makes it look like some sort of cleaning product or something that goes in your car, I simply buy Powerade until Gatorade comes up with a more attractive label and fires whoever came up with the grey label

This feels like a market research thread though

>>9204925
Why?

>>9205244
Go fuck yourself, it tastes great.

>diet gatorade
for what purpose

>>9204824
>What do you think about sports drinks,
most are overflavored, overcolored, overly sweet
> and which flavor do you like? I like lemon lime the best
I like Gatorade Lime Pepino. It's a lightly colored pale green/white color, had a mild amount of tartness, and a refreshing aftertaste of cucumber or watermelon that is very very pleasant and refreshing

>What's the key difference between Powerade and Gatorade?
Powerade has more koolaid intensity in color and artificial flavor, and I think more sugar. It's been a while since I compared labels and stopped buying Powerade though.

I'm not an athlete, but Florida is damn hot. So, the role of Gatorade is the ability to have an alternative to water in a cooler for the boat or the beach, something to replenish all the fluids lost from sweating. I tend to dilute it with tons of ice, and drink it a bit watery. I'll also keep it in my pantry for a kind of flu or hangover kind of day, or after a day of food poisoning that involved diarrhea. Sugary drinks are supposed to be bad for actual diarrhea so I do have Smartwater, but it is appetizing to reach for Gatorade when you don't really feel like drinking anything at all.

It tastes like green apple Jolly Ranchers, it's great.
