    The flavor is nice, but trust me, this does NOT quench your thirst. In fact, it makes you thirsty even more.

    It is pretty much a tie to me, between the flavors of Gatorade and Powerade, although I drink Powerade more often.

    DO NOT DRINK THIS...... read the ingredients and find out urself wat they actually do for u. this company has tricked the sports world into thinkin this is wat atheletes need for increased proformance and recovery, it does nothin. maybe ten minutes of increased energy.... thats it! again it depends on wat ur doin but i would not give anybody this drink... ever. massively spikes ur insulin and u crave more of this drink the more u drink it because ur body gets lazy and doesnt want to make insulin.... diabetes!!! DONT DRINK GATORADE!!! take multi vitamins and minerals, drink water with a balanced healthy diet and train hard.

    Awful. Not in taste, but the illusion that its good for you! They add SALT as an "electrolyte". The LAST things americans need is more electrolytes! We have SO much salt in our diets people die of heart attacks. If anything, they should just add Potassium. They claim one of their energy producing ingredients as "fluid". Fluids? Drink water. Don't have gatorade. Carbohydrates? Yea, it has LOTS of them. In the form of fattening SIMPLE carbohydrates, like sugar. In the form of HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP, which has been PROVEN to cause diabetes and OBESITY. Stop drinking this CRAP and drink vitamin water or gatorade, even propel is better than this crap.

    But really bad for you. So much high fructose corn syrup. Just as bad as soda.

    Tastes good but you're not supposed to drink it unless you're sweating it out otherwise all the sugar and calories just makes you fat.

    I don't care for the taste of Gatorade, but it's supposed to be one of the ones that's better for you, so I've heard.

    It is delicious once you get used to it. I drink it constantly now, including for breakfast. I think it is a good drink for gators, even though I don't like gators. I like ponies. Delicious ponies, mmmmmmmmmmm. But not as delicious as Gatorade. No wait, I mean vodka, heh heh. Just kidding. Um, it's all right. Except I drank a little too much and I'm wired up.  Of Gatorade, not vodka, that is.  Never mind.

    I have a confession - I am a Gatorade addict. Being a baseball player, I drink lots of Gatorade to start with, and I have it with lunch and dinner if I'm eating at home. Gatorade is a sports drink that has gotten everything correct.

    It could be the slightly salty aftertaste or maybe its the fact that after playing football for so many years and drinking gallons of this stuff but I would almost never drink it unless it was given to me after a practice or during a game.  The new gatorade a.m is alright though.

    I can't believe that so many people FAIL to look at the product lable. Gatorade =sugar+potassiuum+salt+water...... No vitamins No aminos acids - No calcium - Eat a banna and drink some Kool-aid. DUH - you need a lot more than that to refuel your body so why settle for 50 calories & 28 carbs when you can get a healthy body replenisher Rebound Fx?

    they started giving Gatorade at work last year so i started drinking it all the time at home and in 9 months i had a large kidney stone. and the only thing i had changed in my diet was starting to drink alot of Gatorade. My neighbor said his brother told him that the army stopped giving Gatorade to its military units becasue the rate of people having kidneystones went up 700 percent.

    Gatorade is the best. In reguards to this inqury: '' RebelYell1861 I heard that this stuff can cause kidney stones if you drink it too much when you're not sweating. I don't know how true that may be, but I think I'll stick to Powerade just to be on the safe side.'' That's fale, I emailed gatorade and they said it's safe to drink even if your not sweating. Gatorade is the best sports drink. Grape is good

    Gatorade is good sports drink that helps on a hot day. It comes in many different and delicous flavors. My personal favorite is the fruit punch (red) flavor. Gatorade does tend to leave an slightly unpleasant after-taste, but other than that it's a great sports drink that will rehydrate you!

    They should have never discontinued the Starfruit flavor, that was the best ever. I guess the Xtremo flavors are the best they have now, but I take offense when they say they designed Xtremo for latino athletes. Why don't they just say they designed them for human athletes who appreciate good tasting fruit flavored sport drinks and drop all the ethnic appeal BS.

    I am a student studying pharmacy at college, and I can say that the ions in Gatorade do indeed help rehydrate your body. It IS better than water, and gets the job done when you are playing sports. The green gatorade is the best tasting.

    Too much salt. We get enough sodium in our daily diets. Check out a drink called Sqwincher. www.sqwincher.com

    Completely aweful! Tastes like watered-down kool-aid. If you want this stuff, save yourself some money and mix a package of kool-aid with 3 gallons of water. Also, Gatorade is controlled by one of the soft drink giants. Gatorade is produced by quaker which was bought out by Pepsi.

    I like Gatorade. Gatorade has so many flavores that I don't or haven't tried all of them. It offers more flavors than Powerade, but Powerade tastes much better.

    Great taste but as an Athletic Trainer and a Paramedic the only thing worse you can drink after working out or in the heat is coffee. The problem is that gatorage packs in so many solutes (sugar, vitamins, electrolites (tranlate, things that are not liquid)) that it actually robs water from your body through diffusion/osmois (water trasffer). The best way to use gatorade is to dillute it, we use 1/3 gatorade to 2/3 water. That will rehyrdate you and give a good bablance of electrolytes/suger. Also, if you have not just had a strenous workout, Gatorade is packed so full of sugar that it will casue you to GAIN weight.

    Be it as it may, Gatorade may replenish nutrients and fluids but it doesn't matter which flavor you choose, it still tastes like dung.

    Why not just drink seawater? It probably has less salt content. BLECH tooey, tooey! You can't beat just plain old (filtered) water for beating dehydration. UPDATE: LOL! I really hope the person who is voting down all my comments is enjoying his/her/itself! I was willing to believe it might have been a coincidence but voting NOT HELPFUL to a comment as innocuous as this - and BTW also very true water IS much better for your body than this crud as anyone with half a brain knows – proved me wrong. I must say, you are not only an ignoramus but also completely without clue one. Let me fill you in on something you funny little clicker demon - negative votes do not move one up or down on any scale of measurement on RIA...only positive votes actually count. But guess what - even if it did work the other way around you will never silence my voice with your childish tactics...so click on until you get a good case of carpal tunnel and enjoy your hand brace! Believe me, I’m enjoying it as much as... Read more

    Gu Gu Gu gatorade!!! I love this drink! It quenches your thirst, makes you feel hyper, and tastes so good, at least most of the flavors do. It has more variaties than powerade. But powerade os good too. I really can't decide between the 2. I like them both the same. I love the gatorade frost ones, they are cool.

    Still the best. Amazingly enough none of the other sports drinks, all produced by huge soft drink companies, can compete with Gatorade. I often drink this just as a beverage of choice not just as an activity supplement. It's not too sweet so you don't feel like your drinking syrup, and it has a nice light flavor. Just one thing though..what ever happened to Gatorade Gum?? I bought a total knock off of it calle Quench Gum or some such thing and it was an awful substitute.

    Gatorade is the cure of all ails. It is the best thing to drink when you have a hang over. Or if you are dehydrated. Or if you are sick. It totally helps calm an upset stomach. It is not too sweet but just sweet enough. There are some flavors that aren't really that good. I don't like the Fierce that much but I am a big fan of Ice. You can always stick to the basics like orange too which is a good stand by.

    Gatorade is the undisputed kind of sports drinks. There is actually nothing better than pounding a 32oz orange gatorade after exerting yourself, when you are hung over, or when you are just a little thirsty. It goes down quickly, unlike juice, and gives you a little more replenishment than water does. What I can't understand is how in the past 10 years there hasn't been one worthy competitor to Gatorade - All Sport and Powerade are awful - I would rather drink a Pepsi.

    Can we say "sugar water"? I'm sure we can, but we will say so...'cause that's all Gatorade is.
