some places preach techniques of using your right arm when the door is on the left
makes you turn your head
but other folk consider the swing arc to be the same as their front yard

Never heard of (1). Makes sense.

Never heard (2) articulated, but I'm familiar with the concept.

I usually buy endurance formula but that's my favorite regular Gatorade flavor, by far.

Unfortunately they only have it at "Mexican focused" Walmart around here so I only get it if I'm close to one anyway.

I must admit that I've always considered Diamonds to be a bit tawdry.

It's the best. You can thank me later.

I never thought about it not being available everywhere. Everything here is "Mexican focused" I guess.

I had no idea there were so many flavors!

# 6 on the list is Lime Cuke.

Putting it above grape makes list invalid, of course.

The punctuation in that list is infuriating. 13 exclamation points in 18 paragraphs, only three of which actually made sense as intensifiers. Why on earth would anyone write, "Green Apple Gatorade tastes decent!" as the opening sentence of the flavor review of #15/18 flavors? "Decent," there is an intense response that needs an exclamation point to really bring home how not-bad the flavor is. :eyeroll: LKJ's head would probably asplode reading that dreck.

Maybe Mexican-focused isn't the best term but there's basically no hispanic (or other non-white) population around here.

I don't even know why cucumber lime would be geared towards latinos but I've never seen another gatorade in store that had English and Spanish text on it. The labels says Cucumber Lime / Pepino Limon and Artificially Flavored / Sabor Artificial.

Another weird thing: I just realized I have bottles that are called Cucumber Lime and others that are called Lime Cucumber? For a split second I wondered if anyone would counterfeit Gatorade..

Edit: Just checked above link, looks like Passion Fruit also has Maracuya on the label.

I have only ever tasted 2 or 3 flavors of Gatorade, but the best I ever had was the carbonated version during a brief period soon (IIRC) after Gatorade hit the market.

It did piss me off when it disappeared from shelves.

Perhaps use a soda stream or mix the powder into soda water?

Honestly, I think these guys just don't know how to rank drinks. Their Spindrift rankings are all ****ed up as well.

It pisses me off that Gatorade actually has flavors. It's always been Green or Blue or Orange.

I'll have to see if we have the cucumber lime in our stores. We have a huge Hispanic population here so it seems likely.

Cucumber lime sounds like an obviously winning flavor.

Yes, for sure. I make a cocktail where you muddle cucumber and mint then add gin, St. Germain and lime and top with a bit of Peychaud's bitters.

All Sport? They used to sponsor our volleyball tournaments. It was terrible. We wouldn't drink it and it was free.

That someone would forget Red or maybe Purple as the best flavor.

Had to change travel plans last minute because of (extended) family stuff. Let's just claim that doesn't piss me off.

Shockingly there aren't that many great options for a spontaneous trip from NYC to Europe on Thanksgiving evening. So I'm flying Condor now. I've never seen an airline charge extra for a special meal like vegan, WTF. They also offered an upgrade to business class for a pretty reasonable amount so I tried to do that just to be told by the website I can only upgrade if everyone on my itinerary does. I'm a travel group of 1.

I have no idea what All Sport is. This was Gatorade and sold in cans like soft drinks. It was great!
