"I'm not saying let's kill all the stupid people. I'm just saying let's remove the warning labels and let the problem sort itself out."
It says 'cleaner' right on the front there. I have no sympathy for anyone able to lift those bottles by themselves who drink it...

Adults, yes. Kids, different story. I could see a young kid getting into that and trying to drink it.
Also, adults in the morning, adults half asleep waking up thirsty in the middle of the night, adults too drunk to think trying to stave off the morning hangover with some extra hydration

The real problem is that Gatoraid looks (and tastes) like bathroom cleaner....

TV: hence 'able to lift those bottles by themselves'. :P
B: Gatorade is essentially sugar water with some salt in it. The salt is the 'electrolytes'. When you NEED it, it tastes good. If you're just drinking it to drink it, it tastes horrible.

True dat, TT. I know I'm seriously dehydrated when Gatorade, or god forbid, Pedialyte (I was *very ill* and could not stomach the thought of anything else) tastes delicious.

Same here. My brother loves the stuff but does spend a lot of his time outside, in Florida. I only occasionally get dehydrated enough to need gatorade, and when I do, the least disgusting is the original 'lemon ("It's Country Time! It's never been near a lemon!") lime' version...

I basically used to live on Powerade in high school; dunno what it was about the building but it would make me dry as all get out after maybe fifteen minutes. So I thought I liked Powerade. Then I tried to drink one maybe about four, five years later, and the sheer amount of NOPE was stunning.

I usually only have Gatorade when I'm sick. IF then.
*giggle* and love the lemon reference.
