Just remember the next time you pay 2 bucks for a sports drink

Of course, you are keeping me employed!!!!

 

[Heller]

before you make a two hundred and eleventh post let me be the first to welcome you to andandtech.

Now fuck off and have a nice life

what am I supposed to get from the video, how fast they can churn out things on the machine?

I guess he thought someone was employed filling all those bottles with a jug and funnel. :hmm:

Most sports drinks are the equivalent to non-carborated soda. Total scam, homey doesn't buy.

 

[sandorski]

This, is an OUTRAGE!

 

[rcpratt]

Nothing has made me happier than the fact that I have paid absolutely zero for soft drinks, sports drinks, water (wow I can't stand it when people pay for bottled water) in the past 10 months. Liquor and beer are okay, of course.

 

[jaha2000]

I work for a company that designs the parts the fill the bottles and puts on caps.

Guess i am lucky in that i am one of the few that really enjoys my job and i get to goto the plants once in a while to help with installs. Just thought some of you might like to see how fast they run, that machine is running around 50 percent speed which for that line is 500 bottles per minute.

Yup. Soda has pretty much as much of the "electrolytes(aka salt)" as a sports drink.

I toured a pepsi plant once when I was in cub scouts. Nothin like a pepsi fresh off the line!

What's the mortality rate for noobs?

I've seen those machines on that show How It's Made and those machines are insanely fast

I like an ice cold G2 (stash in freezer 1 hr before) when I'm done cutting the lawn, I get 'em for $1 at dollar general, not too bad. Bottled water I will never pay for, total waste IMO..

Huh????

Yeah they don't really cost much more than soda and they're quite tasty as beverages.

 

[Gothgar]

I buy all that shit, and I will continue...

/shrug

I am not a cheap ass

More sugar though. Sports drinks are a nice compromise between unsweetened drinks, and sugar bombs.

"brawndo has electrolytes"

its what plants crave

In case you were wondering, sodium is not the only electrolyte.

 

[QueBert]

Propel taste good and doesn't have much sugar at all. Water's good but it gets old to me real fast. I wish Propel was a bit less expensive, but I'm not a cheap ass. It's beyond me how people who think $500 for a video card is nothing have a problem with a 99 cent sports drink.

 

[shortylickens]

Well, I already knew that, but its good to see some more reinforcement.

 

[Skeeedunt]

That shit moves fast it must be cheap. I won't be making that mistake again.

 

[DaveSimmons]

I use a pur filter pitcher and use the filters for 2-3 times as long as the recommended life.

I also buy HFCS-filled Coke Classic but it takes me 3 days to finish a 16-oz bottle so it doesn't hurt me too much.

Sports drinks? Nah, water or soda.
