I'm all about Gatorade. I started with the Lemon-Lime in 32 oz. Uni-Gulps (Gatorade in a fountain!) back in college when there was a Uni-Mart across the street from the Student Union. I've since moved on to making the powdered Fruit Punch but like I always say, it's the one in the Red label, not the one in the Blue label. I have to specify or my wife would buy the wrong one. I second the Gatorade as a cure for hangovers remark but I find that if you can remember in your drunken haze, drinking a few cups with 2 Excedrin BEFORE you pass out helps more than waiting until the morning after.
My wife has recently discovered the Grape Propel water, she loves that now. Meh, it's okay. But she says it's replacing Coke as her drink of choice.
The Navy issues powdered Gatorade along with Coffee while deployed to help keep the crew hydrated. Unfortunately we only seem to stock Orange aboard our ship which I think is godawful.
While deployed to the Persian Gulf in 1998 and 2000, I discovered GREEN APPLE flavored Gatorade. I have never seen it before or since, but they sold it in Dubai. I would kill for some more. Green apple is one of my favorite flavors for anything. Sitting in the Dubai heat, I downed several bottles of that in just a few hours. God I miss it.
