New Gatorade

[roxgaeld51]

Anyone hear of the new Gatorade, Gatorade Rain???
I just found it in a Quickcheck the other day and tried it.

It just tasted like waterdown Gatorade!
You think Gatorade is getting rediculous (sorry with spelling)?

[NuKoN]

I think they need to stop making so many new variations, the majority of them just don't taste as good as original gatorade.. they should concentrate on making it cheaper, and in less variates.. X-Factor to me is the only good spawn of Gatorade..

[slinkyspine]

go Powerade its better tasting and no spin offs that suck

[Superman]

what happened to just regular blue and red and yellow gatorade... now they have like ultra frost mountainside rain water which is some color thats purple and tastes like butt. idk i think they are getting ridiculous. ill still chose the old blue gatorade over any of these other funky flavors.

[laxfolife24]

I love gatorade, mixing the colors/flavors iss fun.
=)
I only did it at lax camp last summmer but I like the new flavors, well most of them at least.

[Formerlaxdemon]

I have never liked any of the -ade's. They all taste like dirty water in my opinion. I like water and I like juice. Not watered down juice.

[dlaxer]

dude, gatorade rain is awesome, the new flavors, tastes so good, i drink that more often than normal gatorade now. . . . stop drinkin' tha' hat-o-raaade
:rofl:

[HdGLaxWarrior]

I loved the Apple Gatorade. That was the best. But now I stick with the grape.

[devillax57]

i like every flavor of gatorade...ive had that gatorade rain...meh its ok...but i still would drink it over water or juice...its just so good

[FPDefense]

Ive like some of the new stuff like the xfactor cus its just two flavors mixed.

[ghs/wylax]

how 'bout the new proprl calcium?Supposedly has same amount ofcalcium as milk.Didn't taste much different to me.

[Orange]

Gatorade is the greatest drink, ever. Orange is my favorite. Go figure. Anyone remember Midnight Thunder?

[fitzy_nb_11]

the only could thing to come out of gatorade recently is propel.

[Mrmccoolsatool]

to me gatorade rain tasted like koolaid with a bad water/mix to sugar ratio. Its ok though, but didnt they already do the whole clear thing with the gatorade ice?

[DaveLax90]

the best gatorade is def. berry citrus...

it is so amazing but they dont have it at most places but whenever i find it, i go crazy for it

[Lax101]

There's new studies that say Gatorade rots your teeth at a much faster rate than any other beverage, so I would suggest staying away from it outside of sports. Also, putting such a heavy concentration of carbs and energy into your body may not be the best thing to do. Many trainers and coaches suggest watering down Gatorade with roughly 50% water and 50% gatorade.

Or, you could just get their Propel stuff. It's watered down, still tastes good, won't rot your teeth nearly as much, and still gives similar results.

wenever i have gatorade/powerade during sport i always take a sip of the sport driunk then sip of water. or even when i am just having recreationally i always have to have a drink of water after it other wise my teeth feel very yuky from all the sugars and wat not.

[ColtsLax]

what ever happend to the endurace version, if it wasnt for that, i probally would have died at some of the tourneys over the summer. It has more potassium, sodium, and other stuff you lose when you sweat.

[LaxCrazy17]

I love pretty much all the gatorade and I really like the rain too. No complaints from me

[WHEELAX2]

gatorade costs so much cause it's all over the NCAA, NFL, and most major sports teams benches, etc.... someone's gotta pay for it.. that'd be u and me.

[rjattack19]

yea i just got some yesterday...it looks cool but like u said it tastes like waterd down gatorade

[smooth87]

I swear there was a sour apple flavor, but I only saw it once and I think it was NC. Man, if I'm remember correctly that was some good stuff.

[BTlaxripper]

I swear there was a sour apple flavor, but I only saw it once and I think it was NC. Man, if I'm remember correctly that was some good stuff.

Yes, there is a Sour Apple flavored Gatorade. The best flavor in my opinion, and it's quite elusive too, I've only had it -- and seen it -- once in my life.

Best selling Gatorade flavor?
Watermelon.

Yeah, I've only had and seen it once too. . . weird huh?

As for Gatorade Rain-- here's the skinny:

Gatorade has a strong flavor, so people who favor water don't drink it.
So Gatorade made Propel, which was just flavored water, with none of the electrolytes of Gatorade.

Gatorade Rain is basically Gatorade that tastes like water, so people who don't like the strong Gatorade flavor can still get the Gatorade hydration.

[lax4life6]

gatorade Xfactor and origianl gatorade are the best. i like the orange/red Xfactor.


the best -ade ever is green squall powerade. seriously this stuff is the best. we went to a hockey tournament in syracuse and brought back like 5 bottles each just so we could have it. haha. we mostly did it because it was funny but it was good stuff

[Trilax03]

i like a gew gatorades and powerades...but they should keep it to a reasonable level of flavors and stuff...if they concentrate on a certain few, that would be best even tho i love a variety...water-downed doesn't seem like an ideal flavor tho...

[goalieskcickay]

I love propel, but will never again drink X-Factor, at least red x-factor. I was on the way home from an indoor game with my friend, so we stopped, got some x-factor, and went over to my friends house. I felt sick the whole ride after drinking the x-factor, and as soon as I got to his house I threw up like four times.

[bayhawkslax216]

I'm a fan of the old stuff. My favorites are yellow and pink... but yeah, you have to take a sip of water after the gatorade before you go out on the field, otherwise it's way too sweet and sticky, especially with the mouthguard

[jedimasterPIMP]

Gatorade is the greatest drink, ever. Orange is my favorite. Go figure. Anyone remember Midnight Thunder?
Yeah I remember that stuff, its was pretty good too. My favorite flavor is orange too. I think the point behind Rain is to be like vitamin water though.

[MinnetonkaLax]

my favorite would have to be melon or lemon lime, lemon lime is the only one for me atleast that never gets old, and yeah, i dont care for the "rain" stuff very much

[Orange]

Ah the glory of Midnight Thunder in 1999. I haven't had any of the Rain flavors yet but I wanna try them. I also don't remember seeing the ESPN flavor, sounds lame. Didn't know the Ices were gone either.

[NY Lax 4]

Ya Orange the Ices(Clear gatorade) were freaking amazing. I really loved Midnight Thunder, the good ol' days.

[jedimasterPIMP]

I remember the Ices, what was the point? You don't get the red gatorade mustache? And what flavor do you think midnight thunder was, I could never figure it out? And the espn one was made for the 25th aniversary of espn. Its funny, out of all those flavors, I have tried almost every one.

I think the Midnight Thunder was some kind of berry, possibly grape. It was so godly.

[Palmettolax45]

so i always drink gatorade in practice out of a half gallon thermos and i have the proportion of 3/4 water 1/4 Gatorade and it is delicious and nutritious

[HdGLaxWarrior]

Why do you keep it in a thermos?

[Palmettolax45]

because down here in miami its still around 80 now and some times warmer i dont like semi warm gatorade/water and by thermos i ment this thing Therm (http://www.igloo-store.com/product_detail.asp?T1=IGL+LEG+1%2F2G+RED&HDR=personbeverage)

[atacklax]

Extremo Tropical Intenso (red)
Extremo Citrico Vibrante (yellow, discontinued)
Extremo Mango Electrico (orange)

The Extremo's are really good. Especially the mangos. My mom got them at Costco and I thought they were Spanish becuase everything is in boht languages (Esta en ti?). Good stuff.

[ilaxitup007]

gatorade is in fact my life and i am in fact obsessed.

[The Chariot]

Grape >>>>>>>>>>>>> Everything and everyone

[Laxer1241]

Does any one like Propel? thats made by gatorade and would be my favorite.

[BeIVdeR]

hey its called innovation, i think gatorade needs to get new products every year to c wat everyone likes, some might be outrageous but i think they will just dissapear end of story, no harm done to u right
i hate propel, it almost gives me headaches and powerade
well i like it, but i liek the taste of an original gatorade orange
(kinda hypocritical) lol ova

[AHA lax5]

the only good gatorade is Fierce Grape....i'm addicted to that stuff, yesterday i finished a 32 oz bottle in a minute, not a good idea cuz that was during the only time i was on the bench during my basketball game, major tummy ache. But overall goodness goes to Powerade, great and normal flavors.

[UNCdefense]

gatorade has gone out of control...they have like 3 different versions of the purple kind now...i have to stand there for 10 mintues deciding what to drink nowadays, it is way out of hand....i agree w/ the blue, yellow & red origionals...plus i mean when it comes down to it water does the job, gatorades good for after practice or games, & when i was younger all i wanted for games was gatorade but now all that sugar settles in my stomach & just leaves me craving more....stick w/ H2O

[Mad-Max]

tried out the gatorade rain and thought it was pretty good, I might be switching what I bring to practices and games now...

[nofear45465]

why cant they just bring back midnight thunder. that was seriously the greatest flavor ive ever had. i love riptide rush too.

[AttackSniper#12]

any Grape or Cherry drink is GREAT! no matter who makes it! but i hate how Gatorade made like 2137423746387463274 different types of the Grape and only like 2 Cherry :banghead: :thumbsdow :whyme:

[slinkyspine]

why cant they just bring back midnight thunder. that was seriously the greatest flavor ive ever had. i love riptide rush too.
Midnight thunder was soo strong it was insane I loved it. Powerade had one exactly like it and I want them back too!

[mmlaxplaya17]

Why the hell do they name gatorade flavors after things you dont want to drink!!!!!!!!
Like rain snow and glaciers.

[Mrmccoolsatool]

If you like all-stars I will stab you in the jaw. IM me at NY Lax 4, I will give you my address, and you can come, say hello, and I will stab you in the jaw.


nice DC quote right there. Hes a very funny guy

[Oside Lax]

yeah my mom got a case from there too. The mango was amazing, and everyone on my team would bug me for a sip durring games.

[PearlJam9]

do you guys remember the good old days when gatorade came in glass bottles and the only flavors wrer orange lemonlime and fruit punch

oh and allstars are the most worthless gatorades evermade they should stop making that junk

[BioPro29]

All Stars suck, it's a scientific fact. There's scientists out there, with statistics, and the statistics say gatorade All Stars suck, don't ask how they got the statistics, but they have them.

Im a fan of all the originals, Ice Watermelon, Ice Lime, and Ice Orange.

But i think Powerade tastes way better (see Green Squal), not that i ever really drink sports drinks.

[ghs/wylax]

Yeah I drink the little bottles of propel/gatorade allstars for lunch.Propel is great, but the gatorade allstars...bleh

[RockfordAttack9]

I just go with the good old Red Powerade.

[wilsontopowell]

i think all the colors just taste the same in my opinion

[sammyduelist]

i say the original stuff was the best, the new stuff is just some stuff to make money

[Laxin2266]

I dont even remember half of these flavors, I usually just buy yellow, orange or grape

[laxstar003]

starfruit was my favorite flavor EVER! passion fruit was good, too. my favorite now is riptide rush, followed by lemon-lime.
