My sons, who are into rockclimbing, gymnastics, and weightlifting, were pretty excited about getting to try out this new flavor of gatorade, so we shared a bottle.
"It has a weird taste," said the younger.
I had to agree. The ingredients include water, a variety of sugars, some salts, glycerol ester of wood rosin (presumably that's the flavor), food color, and traces of vitamins mostly smaller than the amount of food color.
"You're overlooking the magic," my older boy pointed out.
He's right. Gatorade is primarily for those who believe that drinking it will make them perform in sports as well as the guys who make the commercials for it do. Unless you're in it for the magic, I think a glass of water and some trail mix would do a better job.
