Do you ever drink Gatorade?

I don’t think the magnesium has kicked in yet (last time it took two days), so I ordered some Gatorade to get my electrolytes going. Of course, I’m already guzzling water, and I have no desire for a Coke. I think orange Gatorade is coming along with some chicken soup.
I wonder how many other countries have similar Gatorade drinks. I know it’s stressed for athletes, but it helps otherwise too. I remember a woman Europe asked me once what Gatorade was so I assumed it wasn’t a cross continent phenomenon.

Rarely, but friend likes sugar free Gatorade as his drink of choice..so sometimes I drink that if I am with him.

@MarieCoyle Thanks, Marie. If I’m not better tomorrow, I’ll go.

I’m so sorry you aren’t feeling better yet, Amber. Go get the IV if you need to, please!! Gatorade can only do so much. I personally don’t like it at all, not sure why but I just don’t. To me it tastes so odd I just can’t handle it, but I know some people really like it.
Be well, sweetie!!

I don't remember the last time I drank gatorade.
Coconut is abundant in this country and coconut water is what I drink when I need electrolytes especially when I'm suffering from amoebiasis.

I have never cared for it, but if I get Charlie Horses I will drink the sugar free kind.

I used to drink it every once in a while when we'd take a road trip and I'd get thirsty. I also kept the bottles, cleaned them and refilled them with plain water. I still have a few of them that I will clean and re-use since I have a tendency to bump a glass or bottle when I'm not paying attention and don't like whatever I'm drinking to make a mess. (The cleaned bottles are refilled with water and a bit of bleach if I don't need the bottle and just want to keep it from growing mold until I'm ready to use it. I dump the bleach water out, clean the bottle again and rinse until the bleach odor is gone, then fill it with whatever I want right then. When the bottle starts to grow mold, I throw it away and get out another clean bottle.)

@AmbiePam Very true. Those quart bottles are very handy. I keep one filled with water on my headboard all the time. I go through 1 1/2 gallons of water daily.

Cousin #3 picked me up some Pedialyte when I was sick. I've never had Gatorade.
