New Gatorade: G2

Has anyone tasted this stuff yet? IMO it is the most vile drink I've ever had. Just the smell alone brings back terrible memories of my mom shoving cough syrup down my throat when I was a little kid. For those who haven't had it just imagine watered down cough syrup and you have gatorade G2.

I just had one this morning and I don't think they are that bad. They kind of remind me of coolaid. The grape is real sweet, the orange and tropical fruit are not as sweet but are pretty good.

most recovery/energy drinks don't taste all that great. Its because they are actually intended for athletics, with g2, specifically endurance athletics. they aren't made to taste good, they are made to hydrate, and replenish various things that the body needs when exercising. try drinking it after running for a couple hours in the heat with no water, i bet it will taste a hell of a lot better.

for the record:  you should not run in the heat with no water for two hours, that's a good way to become severely dehydrated.

Ok, maybe that was a little harsh, but still, g2 is intended for exercising/recovery, not drinking with meals, or just whenever. don't run for hours without water, I thought it was common sense.

i love it, i think regular gatorade tastes wayyy to sweet, and g2 only has like 4 grams of sugar per serving, its pretty much just watered down gatorade...

word. some one said it taste bad because its ment for athletes, the gatorade you buy in stores isnt.  if your doing serious physical activity you should dilute 1/4 of the bottle with water. otherwise i think its counterproductive.

I'm pretty sure G2 is meant to be used before physical activity because it's higher concentrations of water rather then salts. After an activity its better to drink normal Gatorade to replenish salts you lost from sweating. It's also like adding more salts to your body makes it easier for your cells to replenish water and rehydrate you.

Hahah i hope gatorade knows that's the only reason I gave G2 a shot. Simply because of the A Tribe Called Quest song. Go marketing!

i drink the purple one with vodka sometimes (since there isn't much else at my school's caf that you can buy in a bottle), it tastes pretty good. also, great for hangovers.

And I thought G2 was meant to be a regular soft drink since in the commercials Rip Hamilton is drinking it right before clubbin with the boys and Jeter is drinking it while walkin around town dressed all fancy.

Eh, haven't seen this G2 bullshit. I saw Gatorade: TIGER the other day though. Confused the hell outta me, I mean what the fuck is Gatorade: TIGER? Then my friend saw the picture and blurted out "Ohhh, I got it, it's Gatorade infused with Tiger Woods' semen" in front of like six people. I didn't buy any.

Gatorade needs to add "Gatordate: HO" to their product line. A gatorade specifically designed for hang overs
