Powerade is better than Gatorade

[WaTaGuMp]

Another reason why Powerade is better, on sale its 10 cents cheaper than Gatorade.

I went to basketball camp with a friend as a child, and they serveD powerade like it was air

Powerade was the camp's corporate sponsor.

Sorry in advance, OP, but...

#1: Strawberry Lemonade/White Cherry Powerade > Grape. No contest.

#2: Even though Powerade is a better deal (32vs28oz, usually 2/$3 vs 2/$4), Gatorade just tastes better.

Oh my, Powerade is on sale for 49 cents at Stater Bros, for the 32 oz. Looks like I have an added errand to do.

If I was near one of those, I'd find some way to make a quick case at that price.

I used to know a Coke products distributor that could get me Powerade that cheaply.

Gatorade G series is the best "sports" drink on the market.

This shit is probably my favorite.

Normal sale price is .59 to .69, this is the lowest I have seen it.

Gatorade not only quenches your thirst better, it tastes better too.
Water... I mean Powerade sucks. It really, really sucks.

 

[NuclearNed]

One of the worst choices I ever made was to mix powdered Gatorade in one of my water bottles while on a long technical climb. Worst stuff ever and I basically ruined half my water supply on that crap. And I kind of like "normal" Gatorade.

Powerade is the Pepsi of Sports Drinks.

So you are saying its the best? Because its part of the Coca Cola company.

I'm not falling for that troll bait response to my troll bait response.

Coke > Pepsi
Gatorade > Powerade
Coke pwns Powerade

I'm a runner and luckily, the few marathons I've run that supplied Powerade watered it down enough that I could drink it. It's got a bad aftertaste compared to Gatorade. I don't drink the low-sugar/artificially sweetened sports drinks.....and I don't drink them when I don't need sodium and electrolytes. I see a lot of fat kids drinking that stuff and while it's better for you than the colas mentioned above, it's still not a beverage I'd reach for unless I was on a serious hour-long run or longer.

It kills me that PepsiCo owns so many brands that I like.

Yes! It goes very well with gin. Vodka is more of an acquired taste.

Did any of you try this one?

Working, its water, bike rides, its water. Soda etc, meals and snacks sometimes. I know other than water most beverages aren't exactly good for you, I drink milk also with a lot of meals.

That seems backwards, since vodka is pretty neutral and gin is generally... heck, I've been cantankerous enough today, I'll just go with "not pleasant unless you've acquired a taste for it".

 

[WaTaGuMp]

Henrys Hard Grape gets pretty good reviews. One video said it smelled horrible, but the taste was great. I saw a commercial yesterday for Henrys Hard Lemon Lime, also.

 

[MaxDepth]

It's more of the "mouth feel" than outright taste. You're right, vodka is more neutral in taste than gin, the heavier feeling of vodka mixed with gatorade feels like mixing oil and water, if that makes any sense.

With gin, it mixes well and the taste is something akin to a gimlet. But if you don't like gin, it won't mask the taste, that's for sure. I haven't mixed the both with tonic water yet. Last year we had problems with mosquitoes, so it was only prudent that I stocked up on quinine.

Vodka and Mountain Dew, had that last time I went to Vegas, it does the trick. I expect to hear a lot of eww, gross, etc etc.

Oh, that I can imagine, I've seen vodka swirling in lemon-lime soda (or water, before I added lemon juice).

Damn, man, have some decency.

Its Vodka man, its just adding what you need to get sloppy drunk, its not like you are adding some extreme different flavor. I didn't think it would be drinkable, but it was fine, do different then adding vodka to OJ, just makes it into an alcoholic beverage.

I just wanted to make fun of Mt. Dew. There was a time when I'd mix vodka with pretty much any handy beverage.

Forgiven, but next time, make fun of Dr Pepper, its the worst shit on the planet.

Dr Pepper is objectively better than your brominated vegetable oil swill, sir.
