[aphex]

Some more info about my choice 🙂


In the early 1960's, a University of Florida research team began development of a
drink for rapid fluid replacement to help the body prevent dehydration caused by hot
weather and physical exertion. The drink's formulation of carbohydrates and electrolytes
was based upon the latest scientific research and the fact that the Gators football team,
competing in the Florida heat, had developed a tendency to fade in the second half of the
game. Scientific studies showed that these athletes could benefit by replacing fluid, energy
and electrolytes lost during activity. By 1965, researchers began testing this beverage
known as "Gatorade" on ten members of the football team.

The following year, the Florida Gators became known as the "second half team" for their
ability to dominate opponents in the third and fourth quarters of games. In fact, on January
1, 1967, when the Gators beat Georgia Tech 27-12 in the Orange Bowl, Georgia Tech
Head Coach Bobby Dodd told reporters his team lost because "We didn't have
Gatorade...that made the difference." Dodd's statement was published in Sports
Illustrated, marking the beginning of the brand's ascent to a billion-dollar+ sports drink.

I don't really like either, but if forced to make the choice between the two ... I'd go with Cool Ice Gatorade (the clear/blue colored one).

Powerade AKA syrup sux. Gatorade is the king.

 

[cyclistca]

Cytomax 😉

That sh!t is a ripoff for what they give you. Whenever I used to play sports I would just down lots of water and I was fine.

 

[SSP]

Its all the same to me.

 

[murphy55d]

I like lemon-lime Gatorade. Which is odd...because I don't like the taste of lemons or limes .

 

[minendo]

Orange Gatorade for me.

 

[CromNogger]

I wholeheartedly agree with kami. Not worth it unless you have the money to waste, cause that's what it is.

 

[murphy55d]

I don't even drink it for sports, I just drink it cuz I think it's good. So to me it isnt really a waste.

 

[gotsmack]

[aphex]

[gdawson6]

powerade tastes better to me, but gatorade is more refeshing.

 

[AMDJunkie]

Taking gatorade before or as I'm running makes me sick, water for me, maybe a gatorade or powerade after the workout. Powerade tastes better but they both taste like watered-down corn syrup.

 

[Ionizer86]

I myself prefer water.

<---thinks both drinks taste like water infiltrated with nasty stuff.

 

[goodoptics]

neither. Water for me.

 

[BeauJangles]

neither, they both suck 😉

 

[MrDingleDangle]
