So we're all in agreement that this shit is terrible for you and all those commercials of athletes drinking it is just a marketing scheme to get fat, lazy Americans to drink it so that they're under the impression that they're being "healthy", right?
I like grape the best.
for me it's cucumber lime
nice cat
As a man nearing his 40s, I am ASTONISHED they
STOPPED
MAKING
"CITRUS COOLER"
Like.
wtf.
I'm never drinking Gatorade every again.
Also,
It's better for you than Coca~Cola or Pepsi.
Grape master race
same with "protein" powder. i wouldn't say gatorade is "terrible" for you though. you'd have to be a weird little schizo with an eating disorder to think a flavored sugar water is terrible for you.
It has such a silly name. Alligator lemonade.
It was made for the University of Florida's football to replenish their electrolytes during games.
Nice instagram filter, marketing dept
In uni we had to drink out of those when on tv but it was water not gatorade
yes, its just sugar, and a very miniscule amount of electrolytes that won't make a difference unless you're completely depleted
If you're actually in an athletic endeavor that's going to involve serious endurance shit lasting for many hours or extreme heat and can't stop to eat food and/or risk vomiting up everything if you start moving again super heavy, yes it's actually pretty good.
Uses for Gatorade:
>1. Above
>2. If you have typhoid or other food poisoning and can't keep anything down. Sugar+ electrolytes in water is the standard treatment
>3.hangovers
99.9% of sales are for fat people pretending it's good for them
Only have it for the hangovers. :^)
So you drink the rum and frick the Spam
I buy the sugar free one and drink it after I wake up after drinking alcohol the night before, feels good man
chug a Pedialyte before you crash, that's the next level shit
Low on sodium potassium and minerals to be or do what they claim but you do reach a point of sweat mineral glycogen depletion where something like this would be better than just plain water if you push hard enough.
>Low on sodium potassium and minerals to be or do what they claim
It's not more concentrated because it's only supposed to mimic sweat. If you had something more concentrated you couldn't chug it like water, you'd have to take a shot and then chug water unless you were ridiculously electrolyte deprived
It's nowhere near as concentrated as sweat
No moron, if your doing intense exercise electrolytes and sugar are important
I like Power Ade Mountain Blast, maybe it's just placebo but when I'm really dehydrated I feel like it stops my calf cramps more quickly then water does, plus it tastes good.
I sometimes drink a sugar-free one when doing cardio just as a placebo to encourage me to jog for longer.
It isn’t as simple as just watching a tv advertisement. If you played sport then Gatorade was probably supplied to you at halftime and whatnot and this puts the idea in your head to drink it. It’s become more cultural rather than just advertising.
Pocari Sweat is better. It's nowhere near as sweet and tastes more natural. It's also Japanese and featured in anime, and that makes it cooler.
>tastes more natural
What should electrolytes taste like?
tears
Gatorade - :/
Gatorade, Japan - :O
>electrolytes
>electrolytes, japan
I did in my garage in 113 heat 18x190 and my swear pool grew huge. Felt noice but I was so lubricated in sweat that this sugary shit was my saving grace
>t. not an athlete
>not even posting the best
that is the worst fricking flavor. Picrel or grape, then blue.
Nasty. If I wanted grapes I'd eat grapes. And what the hell is a glacier cherry lmao
It's a cousin of the blue raspberry
I just finished a 10 mile roon and pounded 2 Gatorades... One orange, one fruit punch... That salty sugary water.... Pure bliss.
Real, White is the best. But I do have a soft spot for the Standard red, blue, and lemon lime. Tasting them brings me back to football practice.
my grandpa always had these at his house i miss him
No, this anon gets it.
The purpose of Gatorade is to give it to bricklayers or workers at your house when it's hot AF outside. They will do a much better job.
It serves no athletic purpose.
If you're going to drink sugar water, the liquid iv stuff is better it has way more electrolytes. Gatorade barely has any. Seriously it has like a few milligrams of potassium sodium and magnesium, its such a frickin scam
But then you have morons like my mother who is seemingly incapable of drinking just water so she has to mix it with some fruit juice, or when I went to her house and saw that she had the liquid iv packets despite never doing any physical activity in her entire life, I try to dissaude her from drinking the sugar water, doesn't listen.
i take packets of liquid i.v. with me when i go hiking 🙂
For me, it’s coconut water
Its literally just juice with added salt. Also it tastes better when you mix it 5050 with water
>literally just juice
It LITERALLY is not
It blows my mind how well advertising works on the American public. They literally believe anything you tell them in a 10-second commercial.
Yup and you gays mimic us and your culture revolves around America’s sloppy seconds so what’s that say about whatever shithole you’re from
...I'm American.
Cope
i just like how they taste :3
Gatorade in the 90s was actually salty and had a more distinct flavor. Now it's just slighty healthier kool-aid. Peak goyslurp
Best recovery drink is chocolate milk.
Used to chug half a gallon after a days hard cycling
I need to know if the twist style caps on the 710ml or the poptop caps on the 680ml bottles will fit the 850ml bottles. Does anyone know? Why dont they make 850ml bottles you can drink without removing the cap?
the commercials are so weird. back in the day you guys like Jordan and Kobe doing crazy shit, and now it's like WNBA players and US women's soccer players mean mugging the camera like I just told them to get back in the kitchen
It tastes like liquid piss
Meh its not "THE WORST" nor is it a scam. I'd say the normal Gatorade shit is akin to sugary coffee drinks: it kind of is what is advertised but isn't "good" at what it claims to do.
I'm into triathlon and the endurance Gatorade mix, while not the best, is pretty good. It got me through a gruelling fricking hot olympic distance race.
Honestly unless you're doing endurance sports or long term exercise, I dont think you really need more complex electrolytes besides like Liquid IV or some shit.
good for working outside all day, but the fact that cucumber didnt make it past limited release is a travesty.
Ah damn is that why I can't find that anymore? Was really nice during the summer after a night of drinking out on the farm with mates.
Nobody likes weird flavors unless they’re ghost energy drinks and its a travesty. I fricking loved the jalapeño reign and they stopped selling it alongside some other obscure flavors to 90% of stores
The ironic thing about sports drinks is that 95% of their consumers are far from athletic.
>lardbrain see word "sports"
>neuron_activation.png
>it must contain sports
>no need to take a walk now
>beat the system again
i buy them at wagie sometimes. Taste pretty good. I dont drink anything at home except for water and milk. A little sugar every now and then is fine. Its for sure trash soda beverage though. Its the subway of liquid. Fatties tell themselves its healthy cause they see some athlete sweating blue on tv.
