The local Wal-mart Supercenter here has the packets in orange and lemon-lime. Enough in each packet for two quarts. When you mix this up don't leave it setting in your canteen or water bottle too long. If you do eveything you put in there will taste of Gatoraid from now on lol

Don't worry, I did consume the required "caffinated" beverages. But I did carry around my .5 liter "metal bottle" for water, and refilled it for free during the convention. I'm a cheap bastard like that. <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

It isn't Gatorade, but Crystal Light makes these little packets (about 12 to a box, I think) that will "flavor up" a .5 liter (16.9 oz) bottle of water. They come in lemonade and Raspberry flavors. I took the raspberry to GenCon (a gaming convention) and it was actually pretty good.


You lucky so and so!!! I have been wanting to go to GenCon for YEARS!!!
I have not even been able to go to AggieCon for the last few years <img src="/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

Anyone have any suggestions for a Gatoraid like additive for *hot* water? My guess is Gatoraid would taste pretty bad. I was thinking bullion cubes, but no sugar. Adding sugar doesn't sound very tasty...

I'm partial to the pre-packaged spiced apple cider mix as a hot drink mix. Have also used this recipe that makes a pretty decent hot drink:

HOT SPICED ORANGE DRINK

1 (10 oz) jar of Tang
2 oz Lemonade mix (Country time)
2 C Sugar
2 tsp Cinnamon
1 tsp Cloves

Mix; store in a covered container. 2-1/2 teaspoons drink mix to one cup boiling water.

So Tang has resonable amounts of sodium and sugar?

Thanks,

Nope.

If you want a hot electrolyte laced beverage, you will have the hot gatoraid taste. No way around it. And I'm not 100%, but I seem to recall reading something about them loosing thier effectiveness if they are boiled, but I could be wrong on that.

I never get to Gen Con either, but at least I am only an hour from Dragon Con.
