Gatorade by far.

All Sport had better flavors than Powerade.

 

[FUME5]

Whatever knock-off brand the service station is selling cheap when I've been working on a site and it's 35+ degrees celcius.

 

[kehs]

what about sodium?

I didn't mean sugar. I just mean Gatorade tastes more watered down.. Powerade has more taste to it.. and when it comes to fruit punch or cherry (which I drink) it's sweeter.

Or it could just be my taste buds

Almost everyone I've talked to thinks that powerade taste less watered down than gatorade.

 

[SwiftDeath]

I prefer powerade but don't really like either

 

[unbias]

powerade has less sugar, check your pancreas.

 

[B_Spooky13]

Well that's what I mean Powerade as more taste to it. So in a sense it's sweeter. But if it;s just a hot day out (been over 90 for a few days now in SC) I'm about Gatorade. It just feels better

 

[owlbeak]

Powerade has a zero calorie version, so that's generally what I get.

 

[kehs]

They finally lowered their sugar content. That's great to hear.

 

[Mr.Sumal]

I like em both

 

[friskykillface]

cool blue godorade

this article originally appeared in the July 2002 issue of Northwest Runner magazine

The question then becomes, how much sugar should there be to maximize the absorption of both water and sugar? Coyle & Montain (1992) have argued that beverages with 4 to 8% sugar will usually provide adequate amounts of water and sugar to the body during exercise, and the American College of Sports Medicine (2) likewise recommends beverages of 4-8%. (The "% sugar" of a given drink is equivalent to how many grams of sugar it contains per 100 milliliters of fluid. For example, Gatorade contains about 14 grams of sugar in a 240-milliliter serving, which is about 6 grams per 100 milliliters, or 6%.)

Gatorade is 6% sugar, whereas Powerade is 8% sugar. Since both fall within the generally recommended 4-8% range, either drink is acceptable according to this criterion.

 

[PsychBat!]

Can we all agree that the yellow flavors of both are equally disgusting?

only in your dreams

[kehs]

mea culpa.

 

[unbias]

Read that wrong.

mea culpa.

It's cool. I got really confused. thought I missed something obvious.

 

[SuperAndroid17]

yellow gatorade for recovery purposes only : sickness, dehydration, food poisoning and hangovers!

 

[Shining Sunshine]

Sorry, but it's Kool-Aid for me.

OOOOOOOOOH YEAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!

 

[Sajjaja]

H2O!

WATER SUCKS, IT REALLY REALLY SUCKS. WATER SUCKS, IT REALLY REALLY SUCKS, SUCKS, SUUUUCCKS!.

 

[rezuth]

During a period of my life I drank so much Blue Powerade that my stool turned green.

 

[Greenzxy]

I choose Powerade.

It gives me the Power I need for for those day to day high- blood pumping activites.
When It comes to fitness, Powerade is a no brainer. It's advanced Electrolytes help you to stay energization, and quenched, so you can tackle those high strantious sessions at the gym. It's rich formula, fortified with vitamins and minerals, is the perfect combo for replenishing working muscle.

There's a reason why Powerade is rated best hydration drink out in the country.

[PAULINK]

god, no. One time I drank this when I was really thirsty and felt like throwing up.

 

[johnny_park]

Gatorade = MJ
Powerade = LBJ

MJ > LBJ
Gatorade > Powerade


I like them both equally. I only drink the fruit punch flavor.

 

[Data West]

The yellow flavor is the best one.

 

[Greenzxy]

god, no. One time I drank this when I was really thirsty and felt like throwing up.

I had one of those before. Those things have MSG in it. I was reading the ingridents and I was like, WTF. I didn't even know you could put MSG in drinks.

 

[Miles Quaritch]

New contender!!!

This is the GOAT. No contest.

 

[XT Vengeance]

*cough cough* Kool-Aid *cough cough*

 

[shinobi602]

Easily Gatorade.

Powerade tastes somewhat...I don't know...diluted I guess, not as "rich".

 

[Etrian Oddity]

Fuck the orange Gatorade, the blue Powerade is the shit of legend

 

[triplestation]

Real athletes drink Gatorade

You know who drinks Powerade? Racists and sociopaths and liars

 

[Klyka]

How is no one here talking about the one and only drink you will ever need?

I mean,do you people even COUNT your electrolytes???

 

[FZZ]

Powerade for life.

Shit is affordable as fuck too.

 

[Kitsunebaby]

As a kid I was addicted to grape gatorade. I would chug the stuff, it was so good. Powerade just couldn't compare.

Nowadays the only time I drink it is after a night of heavy drinking before going to sleep.

 

[TheJLC]

I see powerade everywhere but I still go for Gatorade. I will have to try powerade one day and then come back here to vote.

 

[pieatorium]

powerade

 

[Darkman M]

Gatorade Citrus cooler>>all

 

[G_Berry]

New contender!!!

This.

Original flavour in a glass bottle all day every day.

 

[Certinty]

Blue Powerade is by far the best sports drink. After that comes Orange Lucozade Sport. Don't like any of the Gatorade drinks.

 

[JasonUresti]

Gatorade = MJ
Powerade = LBJ

MJ > LBJ
Gatorade > Powerade


I like them both equally. I only drink the fruit punch flavor.

Wilt Chamberlain played more minutes than either Jordan or Lebron, even in his 30's, despite being significantly larger as a human being and playing in a era with more running up and down the court.

The Big Dipper gulped down large 7-Ups during games.

Thus, we have scientifically proven that 7-Up is superior to Powerade or Gatorade for sports performance.

 

[Sparkedglory]

Gatorade definitely

 

[RangersFan]

Orange Gatorade the best!

 

[LegoArmo]

I drink blue Powerade when I'm sick and it makes me feel better in no time. Water the rest of the time.

 

[sixteen-bit]

i drink the knockoff brands because they're cheaper

 

[Seraphis Cain]

There aren't very many good pictures of it out there, but yo, who remembers Lemon Ice Gatorade from like 1989? Lemon Ice Gatorade in the glass bottle was basically the Cristal of sports drinks.

 

[Jarnet87]

Gatorade fo sho.

There's nothing like a cold Gatorade after waking up with a bad hangover.

 

[User 73706]

Blue powerade beats blue gatorade.

All the other cool-colored gatorades (frost, purple, etc) beat powerade.

Other than watermelon citrus gatorade, all of the warm-colored gatorades (lemon-lime etc) taste awful.

 

[Edwardo]

Blue powerade used to be my favorite, but went back to gatorade as soon as I saw...

...on a billboard.


All of the gatorade frosts are awesome though.

 

[Gr1mLock]

I dont always drink Powerade, but when i do its an ice cold blue.
