• I was drinking Gatorade a few days ago, when a thought struck me. Granted, it was a stupid thought, but I'm going to ramble about it nonetheless. I recalled a jovial cognomen for Gatorade that was "flavored sweat." I thought about this, then I figured, what better thing to put in your body after sweating a heck of a lot than, well, more sweat. The flavoring is nothing more than an added bonus. I work in the backroom of a mattress store, and on a busy day, I know I would be willing to drink sweat. It's wet and moist, which are the two primary criteria I need (for the record: no, I was not trying to make a sexual reference). I'm sure athletes probably feel the same way, though I don't have much experience in this field (bam). Anyway, I guess Gatorade's title as "flavored sweat" is being challenged by its own counterpart, Propel. According to the press package, it's "how Gatorade does water." I want to say I did a double-take when I first heard this, but I honestly didn't give it much thought until now. This stuff is the definition of flavored sweat. It's primary ingredient is the same as that of sweat: water. With this water, Propel adds, you guessed it, flavoring. They also add some other stuff to energize you, or something. So Propel  is essentially Gatorade Lite. Exciting, isn't it? If you answered "yes," then send me all of your money. I don't think you'll be needing it. For everyone else, peace out!
