Powerade or Gatorade, which do you prefer?

[hiccupleftovers]

I myself go for Powerade. I like most of their flavors more than the thousand and one varieties of Gatorade. Not to mention Powerade is good for you, it has b vitamins. If it were for flavors, than as said above, I guess i would have to go for Gatorade.

[Duo_Maxwell]

Powerade tastes less water-downed IMO.

[tornadomann]

When Im working or playing sports, either is OK for me, but I do prefer the taste and flavors of gatorade.

[bignick]

mmm sugar water.

[tornadomann]

damn 3 same time posts!

[SneakyPenguin]

Hmm, tough choice, but Gatorade had Midnight Thunder, so they get my vote. both are really good though.

[zewone]

Gatorade - I need it after drinking alochol!

[Dare]

gatorade

[Mafia]

Gatorade, if only because the basic flavors don't leave a huge aftertaste in my mouth, which just makes me more thirsty.

But at least it's not All Sport.

[tornadomann]

I agree with Mafia!
Allsport could be summed up in one word: yuck. Is that even around anymore? I don't recall seing it recently.

[Nirvanaguy777]

if i had too choose id go with gatorade

[jeffreyjrose]

I'm gonna have to go with Gatorade. BTW, found this:

Energy and Sport Drink Industry
In response to the increase in sport and fitness activity, several sport drinks have entered the market.$ Currently, there are three major competitors in the sport drink market: Gatorade, All Sport, and PowerAde.$$ Gatorade has the largest share of the sport drink market with 87%, while All Sport (8%) and PowerAde (3.6%) lag behind.$ In 2004, sales in the sport drink market are expected to reach $1,667.9 million2.

I haven't seen All Sport in a couple of years now, which is just as well. For all the sports stars that marketed it when it first came out it sure tasted like crap. I had it once during a soccer game and it tasted like flavored sweat. Bleh. Just glad I don't see it anymore.

[evilmojo12542]

power ade is the only way to go

[tornadomann]

The only reason I drank All sport for awhile is I won an MLS Official Mitre soccer ball from them, I felt like I owed them something, Then I said Meh this sucks!

[hiccupleftovers]

Allsport to my knowledge hasn't been around for a few years ever since Pepsi bought i think it was quaker or general mills or something like that. Pepsi made all sport and since they had bought the company that made gatorade, they had to consolidate all sport for less competition. i believe that Powerade has about 16% of the market share.

[tornadomann]

Thank you Pepsi for Discontinuing All Sport!

[Mafia]

Good, just as well that All Sport be put to rest at the hands of other, superior beverages.

All Sport is still made, although, as you said, no longer by Pepsi. The FTC stepped in when Pepsi bought Quaker. Since Quaker owned Gatorade (over 80% market share), the FTC thought it would be unfair for Pepsi to own the top two sport drinks. Powerade is owned by Coca Cola, and its market share is miniscule... less than 16%... more like 4%.

[scuba]

whatever is cheaper on sale :)

[tornadomann]

I remember playing Extracurricular sports and people always giving All Sport away, thats the only time I could really stand to drink it, because I was thirsty and it was wet.

[Slipknot9762]

i think gatorade has more flavor to it and it just tastes better

[pimp_daddy_smurf]

powerade is all that is sold in my highschool ale-cart, so thats all i get(unless i bring soda)

[Dok Diamond]

I drink both and probably get whatever is cheaper at the time.

[nickmad]

VITAMIN WATER IS THE BEST

[crazytalkx]

POWERADE MOUNTAIN BLAST!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Plus the powerade orange flavor is better than the gatorade one.

[Murcielago77]

i like gatorade. my favorite flavor is Gatorade Ice Strawberry. mmm mmm good. Also you could tell a teacher that it is water

[slidecage]

is it just me or the Bigger the bottle of Powerade comes in the worst it taste

they had a 128 bottle on sale for 1.29 the other week and it taste like cat pee

[tornadomann]

Did your schools ever have the problem of Vodka in water bottles?

[beerguy961]

When I do athletic stuff, I prefer a more fluid drink to keep me well hydrated. Gatorade does the job, although water is fine too...

[judyjudyjudy]

I like the flavors of Powerade better. Especially Fruit Punch, which is definitely better than Gatorade's Fruit Punch.

[CouRageouS]

Powerade all the way. Gatorade has twice to three times more sodium than Powerade. Real bad for you, especially if you're not actually active when you drink it. The extra sodium also makes you more thirsty, so then you'll feel the need to drink even more. No wonder they sweat gatorade in all the commericials.

[Moxio]

It doesn't matter to me. Both of their classic Lemon Lime tastes the same, so I'm not picky.

[crazytalkx]

But we can all agree All Sport is CRAP! It tasted like liquid Tylenol and a bunch of other crap mixed in. Bleh!

[MorbidAngel4Life]

Did your schools ever have the problem of Vodka in water bottles?

Yeah, and the Weed in the locker, Extasy in the pacifier, and the gym teacher going into the teachers lounge to drink a fifth of vodka everyday problems as well. We also had someone light off bottle rockets iin a locker and exploded the locker somehow.

[Trakan]

I hate Gatorade most of the time, and I hate Powerade. The only 2 good Gatorade flavors are Strawberry-Kiwi and Cool Blue Raspberry.

[gokou36]

Did you know that if you drink powerade, your shit turns out as green?

[rajchakrabarti]

arctic shatter


by powerade.... the best shit around

[Graystone]

gatorade cause it has more flavors

:rofl: my school has the weed in the locker, vodka in the water, and had an incident with fireworks in a trashcan. Although many of the stoners are using ceramics as a way to demonstrate their creativity by making "flutes".

[Moxio]

Did you know that if you drink powerade, your shit turns out as green?

I'll keep an eye out for that next time.

[MorbidAngel4Life]

Around here, EVERYONE is a stoner. Even the cops. And yuo give anyone arund here a leaf blower tube, a water bottle, a drill, a Dremel, and some duct tape, and they can make you a killer Steamroller. Or you can give them a 2 liter Pepsi bottle, A straw, some tape, and aluminum foil and water, and BAM! water bong. Trust me. My next door neighboer sells the shit and her kid makes some pretty inventive smoking devices.

And all of my other post was from my OLD school. my new school isnt as bad.

Also at my old school, every year had a new bomb/gun/bomb and gun threat. We had to evacuate the school like a motherfu(k. One day, we got sent home early because supposedly there were bombs in the bathrooms and a message written in lipstick on the wall saying they were going to blow the whole school up. Pretty fucked up, huh? My school could have been the next Columbine. Jeez.....

[Rich]

Powerade tastes less water-downed IMO.

I think it's the opposite. I think Powerade tastes like water-downed Gatorade, and that's why I prefer Powerade.

[Saucy Jack]

Mostly, I drink Powerade because it is usually cheaper than Gatorade and has a better flavor to me.

I remember All Sport. Was OK, but had a salty sort of taste. They gave it to me in the hospital when I was younger. It did help me recover though; the salt was good for my body.

[Magician]

Either is fine with me, although I prefer Powerade when I'm excercising, Gatorade after I've excercised.

[x0thedeadzone0x]

Definitely Gatorade. Powerade is pretty good, sometimes, but I love teh gatorade.

[rajchakrabarti]

you know sports drinks have that salty taste due to the sodium... that actually triggers thirst... so you drink more.. (so your body replenishes what you lose) ... (or is it a scheme to get you to buy more gatorade !!)...jk

At my school we had Bomb threats written on the bathroom walls. The school officals called the bomb squad and they came, during this whole time our stupid superintendant made us stay in the classrooms. How smart eh? If the school blew up I guess we were meant to go with it!
