No way you'd save money over the powdered Gatorade. A can of powder that
makes 36 quarts of Gatorade sells for $11.19 at Costco, or about 31¢/quart.

Remember, that Gatorade was developed by researchers at one of the
finest universities in the world--you're not going to be able to
duplicate Dr. Cade's work in your kitchen. Companies and individuals
have been trying to duplicate Gatorade for decades, without success.

The devil is in the details.

Pepsi bought Gatorade, end of story. You have my condolences.

Really? I thought Cade worked at the University of Florida.

Gatorade is nothing more than Kool-ade mixed with brackish water.

That's exactly what it tastes like and I hate it.

funny, there is an article Google News dredged up this morning in Headlines:
http://www.latimes.com/health/la-he-...,1196806.story

"Anywhere someone is lifting a weight, strapping on a football helmet or
lacing up running shoes, there's probably a big bottle of green, blue or
neon orange liquid nearby. Gatorade, Powerade and other sports drinks have
drenched just about every sport in America, from triathlons to pee-wee
soccer.
But sports drinks are also popular with spectators in the stands, kids
playing video games, long haul truckers and office workers. Lots of people
chug down sports drinks without ever breaking a sweat.

It raises the question: Who really needs this stuff? While TV ads suggest
that sports drinks are the key to athletic success, there's a growing
backlash in some medical circles against these salty, sugary beverages.

"Sports drinks are oversold and over-hyped," says nutrition expert Kelly
Brownell, director of the Rudd Center for Food Policy and Obesity at Yale
University. "If I were Coke or Pepsi, I would sell off these brands. People
are starting to figure out sports drinks, and criticism against them is only
going to grow."

Some of that criticism showed up in the July issue of the prestigious
British Medical Journal. A series of articles suggested that the benefits of
sports drinks are meager at best, especially when compared with plain water,
the original sports drink.

I hate Gatorade and don't drink any of that other cr*p either. Smart
Water? How smart is it to waste your cash on that stuff?

Bottled water is a joke and so is Gatorade (watered down coolaid with
potassium). Better to drink real water and eat a banana.

I admit to occasionally buying bottled water, but only to get the
bottles, which I refill with municipal tap water or from my distiller.
People bitch and moan about the price of milk and gasoline but turn
around and buy bottled water which often costs more.

Agreed about sports drinks, but I can understand plain bottled water.
If you've traveled at all, you'd know that plain bottled water tastes
like the local water does. So when you're visiting an area where you
hate the taste of their water, you're out of luck if you buy bottled
locally. To have water I don't mind drinking, I bring a case of
locally bottled water with me on car trips.
