In my opinion that stuff is only needed in a marathon or other long distance race where you cannot eat something easily over several hours. Otherwise, snack every hour or two and drink plain water. Don't waste your money.
This goes well beyond nutritional need. What we have here is psychological need. If you have water that tastes like gatorade as opposed to bleach, you will be more likely to hydrate, and have better morale.
