gatorade

Since I’ve been working out at the gym a lot more recently, I decided to reward myself by buying Gatorade from the grocery store.  Kroger’s was having a 10 for $10 deal (the huge 32 oz. ones) so I picked out ten different flavors to find out which one was the best.

My favorite so far is Gatorade Rain Strawberry Kiwi (Berry flavor pictured above).

A close runner up is the new Gatorade Tiger line.  I know it’s just a marketing gimmick but they cost the same as the other Gatorade products and the flavors are pretty good.

The absolute worst so far is the new low calorie G2.  It’s sickeningly sweet.  Don’t buy this at any cost.

we have a lot of gatorade at the office so i drink rain a lot. i pretty much like any flavor but green or orange are the best. the taste of rain vs the normal gatorades is a lot cleaner, it feels.

i’ve never had gatorade tiger. they say it was made directly for him, and what he does. so i’m thinking in circumstances when you’re out in the blazing sun for 4-5 hours at a time and not allowed to go eat anything except snacks, gatorade tiger is for you. some people have pointed out that this is the first year he’s drank gatorade tiger on the course and he’s pretty much unstoppable even with a bad knee. maybe there’s vicodin in it?

I agree about the Rain Gatorade having a cleaner taste and finish.

I tried the Gatorade Lemonade earlier tonight and it’s also pretty good. I don’t know how Gatorade could mess up so badly on their low calorie line.

Oh, I am an avid fan of Gatorade AM. I can’t remember the flavors but I think it’s Orange something and the other is Mango something. Some months ago, Kroger’s had those giant bottles for even cheaper. I bought 50 bottles for $30! Pretty fantastic stuff. I don’t like Tiger’s line, it’s too salty for me. But man, that AM stuff gets me through a workout!!!

So I listened to your recommendation and tried Gatorade AM. You’re right. It’s awesome. Best Gatorade product line hands down.
