My New Favorite Thing
Monday 20 Aug 2007Mango Gatorade… It’s Mango, It’s Gatorade.It’s a little bit of heaven in a bottle. I’ve been a fan of hydration drinks for a while, I guess it’s a bit of a trickle down from my cycling days. Gatorade has usually been a little too thick and sweet for my tastes. I usually opt for Powerade, but tonight when I was doing my late night shopping (very common when I’m up working late on a project or just brainstorming on self-promotional things), Kroger was all out of Powerade.
Apparently they had a sale today, 58¢ for a 32 oz. bottle. Hate it I missed that, but Gatorade was still $1.00 for a 32 oz. bottle so I picked up a few.
Not wanting to date myself here, but I can easily remember the days when Gatorade came in only two flavors. Orange and Lemon-Lime… They’ve added quite an arsenal of different choices since then.
Anyhow, so as I’m browsing the wide range of Gator-tastes I spot the new Mango Xtremo®. I’ve been a big fan of Mango way before the fruit ever caught on the mainstream, and the good folks at Gatorade did this one right. It’s not too thick like some of their flavors can be. It has more of a watery consistency, and the Mango flavor neither has too strong a taste, nor leaves an aftertaste like some mango products can.
Great stuff! Good job Gatorade!
