Gatorade - waste of money? (Page 3)

I like Gatorade for training.  It's easy to get extra bottles from a gas station if I run out during a long bike ride.  Sometimes it does annoy my stomach and then I switch to something else.  But I don't think it's that evil.  You do need some amount of calories during long workouts.

It's also really good if you are hungover or have a stomach bug. 

Nooooooo no bad experiences with Gatorade.  I just go by what I know.  And yes companies like  Gatorade and Powerade have brilliant marketing campaigns, and I know every triathlete on this website can recall the Chris Legh Gatorade commercial.  And yes you are all right that Gatorade will be around for many more years to come, but guess what, so will McDonalds.  

 Bottom line is that everybody is different, so from what I have gathered, you like the Gatorade because it has calories, you like it because it does not taste like water, and you like the taste when you're hungover.  If this regiment works for you in training and in racing, great!  All you have to do is keep doing what you are doing, and I will keep doing what I'm doing.  I'm done! Good day =)

 understood.  I was simple pointing out it is very different than water.
