Which ade for you, Power or Gator?

Powerade has more vitamins than Gatorade
Neither has any fat or protein. However, Gatorade contains 10 more calories and slightly more sodium than Powerade per serving. On the other hand, Powerade packs more micronutrients, including magnesium, niacin, and vitamins B6 and B12, which play important roles in your body.

Gatorade of course. Powerade is a shitty knockoff. Also Powerade has those artificial sweeteners sucralose and acesulfame k in its ingredients, which I personally avoid because they give me GI problems and also I'm underweight and feel like I'm being robbed of calories when I see shit like that on the label.

[Anonymous No.13204260]

i used to drink gatorade after runs but switched to powerade zero because it doesn't have any sugar. i wish lemon-lime powerade wasn't discontinued, but the fruit punch is okay.

[Anonymous No.13204286]

>>13204260
Wouldn't you want sugar after a run? I never understood why they made zero calorie versions of these things. Defeats the purpose of what they were made for, but I guess they didn't know decades earlier how bad obesity would get in the future.

[Anonymous No.13204323]

>>13204286
they're for hydration. i eat something shortly after a run, i don't need added sugar. i do like the electrolytes/salts in the summer when i'm really sweating.

It isn't the sugar that's "what they were made for," dumb dumb, it's electrolytes. Sugar was just added to make it more palatable, and there are much better/healthier ways to carb up after exercise.

[Anonymous No.13204895]

No, sugar wasn't only for flavor. Electrolytes and sugar are both good things to have on top of hydration after exerting yourself.

one thing the lardass OP failed to mention is that powerade is made with HFCS, while gatorade uses actual sugar. i'm shedding a tear for every corn syrup addicted fatass chugging powerades

>sugar free meme
Enjoy your destroyed gut bacteria and impaired insulin response. I've been on the road lately and have been going through drive-throughs a lot. Every fucking time I see a fat person in front of me, they order diet soda. It's especially disgusting whenever it's 7:00am "UHHHHH YEAH LET ME GET TWO LARGE DIET COKES PLEASE". Makes me want to rear-end their vehicle. Here I am eating several thousand calories a day, and still at a below average BMI. I'm never touched the sugar free jew and never will.

For fat people who drink it for fun instead of for what it was originally intended. That's the whole point of this discussion, that it defeats the point of what it was made for.
>>13204908
Listen here you ketotard piece of shit. You're wrong. It was ALWAYS intended to help with blood sugar replenishing on top of having electrolytes.
https://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=16686535
>Cade created Gatorade at the University of Florida in 1965 as a way to both quench players' thirst and replace carbohydrates and electrolytes lost through sweating in the intense Florida heat.
Also note the famous original formula that tasted really awful before they switched gears and focused on improving flavor HAD SUGAR ALREADY.
>Robert Cade was just 37 years old and had only recently heard about new research showing the importance of glucose and salt in helping the body absorb water. He and his assistants got to work mixing up concoctions using sodium, potassium and glucose. The University of Florida football players asked to try it, said it tasted, well, like urine.

classic '90s lemon Gatorade in the glass bottle

I like Gatorade G2 because it has enough sugar to make it taste good and its not practically 300 calories a bottle. Its a good in between.
My boyfriend prefers the calorie free shit but I figure life's too short to be drinking fucking splenda

[Anonymous No.13205024]

>>13205004
G2 has splenda in it.

[Anonymous No.13205063]

>>13205024
I was more speaking in a joking matter. G2 has sugar and some added shit but its not ALL artificial sweeteners. At least, I'm pretty sure its not. I don't have a bottle to fact check and I'm sure someone will swoop in and make an ass of me. But G2 definitely tastes better than the Gatorade Zeros he buys

[Anonymous No.13205069]

>>13205063
You're right, G2 isn't all splenda. It's a splenda / sugar mix, like most reduced calorie drinks are nowadays.

[Anonymous No.13205073]

>>13205069
Ah cool!
It makes me wonder why more soft drinks don't do like a 1/2 sugar line of their more popular drinks. Like I would buy so much more soda if it wasn't 260 kcal a bottle. Its crazy

Powerade because fuck the Gators

[Anonymous No.13205114]

I enjoy Powerade over Gatorade. Gatorade has too many niche flavors and tastes weird to me. I used to drink a ton of Gatorade when I was younger with salt in it to combat an illness, so maybe that's why I hate Gatorade so much

[Anonymous No.13205134]

i usually buy powerade because its a lot cheaper here, barring some outrageous sale on gatorade but i only ever drink gatorade or powerade after a night of drinking or if i have been sick/throwing up, or both
which ones better for hangovers and after being sick bros

Powerade always feels a little sweeter to me, like I can feel it on my teeth. Not sure if it's true or not but for me that increased sweetness makes it less refreshing than Gatorade.

[Anonymous No.13206994]

The GOAT was starfruit gatorade. Overall, I'll take powerade though. I like the more tart flavors. Honorable mention to pedialyte if you are actually dehydrated, but that oily consistency is rough

[Anonymous No.13207116]

>>13206919
I don't even mind the part where you're drinking a children's diarrhea product.
Fuck Pedialyte and fuck ketofags though because it's filled with artificial sweeteners. You ketogenic diet memed faggots need to learn sugar isn't a bad thing, *especially* not in a sports drink where it belongs. There's a reason why Dr. Cade had sugar replenishing as a part of Gatorade from Day 1, and no, it's not for flavor (first version was literally liked to urine by the Florida Gators who tried it, and there was glucose in it already at that point). And there's a reason why they give you water with glucose in an IV drip and not just zero calorie water.
