I agree, high fructose corn syrup and sugar are not the same taste. I'm not sure if this is still true, but as of not that long ago, you can buy Coke in Hawaii that was made with cane sugar, and it tasted different (at least to me) from the "normal" Coke that is sweetened with HFCS. But until rather recently, corn was so ridiculously cheap, I'm not sure if even locally grown sugar cane could be cost effective against such dirt cheap HFCS.

Oh man... A coke with real sugar in it. I'd just about kill for one of those.


A Coke that tastes like the Coke I remember from childhood...

One summer I was so sick I couldnt hold down any solid food and even tho I never drank the orange gatoraid before but for some reason thats all I wanted and could hold down so I lived off the stuff for a whole week. Let just say I've never had orange gatoraid again and only after a couple of years could a stand gatoraid at all. I still carry some of the powder when I'm out hiking or something but I dont drink too much.

Love the stuff!!!!

The pink lemonade or the regular lemonade from the bottle are my fav choices. I couldn't get the powder versions to even come close to what you can get out of the bottle.

Bottled Gatorade has a shelf-life of nine months if it remains sealed


That's based on the fact that it will start to settle out if left undisturbed. When it does this give it a good shake. I did this with the last part of a case of the orange. I couldn't tell any difference in the taste. YMMV I just checked & had two left on the shelf. Shook one & put it in the fridge. I'll report back on the results. Its at least 1.5-2 years old.

The tast of Gatorade is the reason I use Gookenaid, good stuff.
