NFT: What Is/Was Your Favorite Gatorade Flavor?

CRinCA : 6/22/2020 9:24 pm
First I need to date myself in that while I was a teen the only flavor was lemon-line followed shortly thereafter by orange.

OK so those were alright but over time they released my all time favorite, Iced Tea. Unfortunately the timing was awfull with the whole Knicks/Bulls rivalry but damn did I love that beverage.l

Fruit Punch and Grape

Lots of good ones, those are the 2 I buy most often
I like G2 more than regular  
djm : 6/22/2020 9:30 pm : link
And always have since G2 was created. Grape G2 is my go to but I can drink any of them. Regular is ok but a little too slimy texture wise, for lack of a better word.
Lemon

Lime. All the time.

Hey, that rhythms. Haha.

rather...thought red (Cherry)
Can't drink it anymore. Too much sugar.  
robbieballs2003 : 6/22/2020 9:41 pm : link
When i was younger I drank it all the time. I've lost my sweet tooth as I've gotten older. I take NUUN tablets now.
The orange one that was less orange

Surprised about the old-school lemon-lime fans.

Interesting.
Lemon Ice

Throw me in the G2 camp too  
MetsAreBack : 6/22/2020 10:09 pm : link
the regular tastes like pure sugar and is just wasted calories, effectively negating the benefits of your workout.

red and grape are my favorites - the blue one is pretty good too.

Are you keeping track of all our answers? What do i win? Do we get the results of the survey in a few days?
MAB- lol

Sorry no. Sometimes I think of a random BBI thread to pass the time, sometimes to jerk the BBI chain. This is the former.

Followed by Citrus Cooler and then Riptide Rush. I'm not sure they make the either of those anymore.

A little off topic but not really, I tried BodyArmour for the first time the other day. It was ok

Came here to post that. Gator gum was the best 15 seconds of your life. Then, nothing. Time for another piece.
Lemon lime (aka the original)  
Beezer : 6/23/2020 1:06 am : link
or orange.

Had a light blue one (glacier? is that a flavor?) but haven’t seen it in stores.

Gatorade has flavors? Thought it was just colors.

Lemon-Lime or Orange G2
+1  
oghwga : 6/23/2020 7:14 am : link
My kids always ordered by color. I don't think purple frost or blue ice is a flavor.
my favorites In order  
pjcas18 : 6/23/2020 7:53 am : link
Lemon lime
Citrus cooler
Red
Orange

but I rarely drink gatorade anymore.

my kids love the blue.

the gator gum was awesome too even though by the time you threw out the wrapper the flavor was gone, in babe ruth baseball we would wrap a couple pieces of chewed gator gum around a wad of red man tobacco and spit all over the place. good times.
I'm a powerade (zero) kind of guy  
Bill L : 6/23/2020 8:00 am : link
and they only have (or at least carry around here) 4 flavors.

Same with soda, the number of diet flavors is very tiny and I am not really sure why. In fact, in my local grocery store, they are not carrying diet root beer of any sort.

you refer to Gatorade by color not flavor  
Moondawg : 6/23/2020 8:43 am : link
I like Green best.
Orange  
GiantsLaw : 6/23/2020 10:27 am : link

Yup--I remember when I got food poisoning and was miserably sick for 24 hours or so. Couldn't keep anything down, not even small ice chips. Was so thirsty. When i went to the DOC and received a shot and finally started to feel better, the DOC said don't drink anything but lemon ice G and sip it. My god nothing ever tasted better.

haha when i would walk in to my cousin's house drinking this stuff she would say "oh i see you're drinking dupont green today."
It's amazing how fast Gatorgum lost the flavor  
Greg from LI : 6/23/2020 10:32 am : link
considering how intense the flavor was when you first started chewing it.
Blue  
Gary from The East End : Admin : 6/23/2020 11:06 am : link
I like the blue drinks.

I only drink the G2 or the new G Zero now. Regular Gatorade has way too much sugar.

+1. I always buy G2 or Zero.
Gatorade in Italia is better  
adamg : 6/23/2020 5:42 pm : link
Arancia rossa and arancia just taste better than American orange flavor.

In the states, lemon lime and fruit punch are good.

Haven't had gatorade in years. Hard to justify the calories.

I used to refer to them by color but now there's like 5 blues.
Citrus was the best

now. Five times the flavor of gatorade, five times the price
Lemon lime  
BrianLeonard23 : 6/25/2020 9:29 am : link
About 10 years ago there was a Tiger Woods Gatorade that I loved. It was fruit punch or cherry, I forget but it was better than the classic red.

G Zero is pretty good, it has zero sugar but still quite a bit of sodium. Some really good flavors there too.
