Close, as they say, but no cigar. What is it about watermelon drinks? They taste more like the rind than the flesh, which is what most people are looking for but never find. And in so being a sports-related beverage, they got into the protein supplement game.
But they do have a chocolate shake that actually rivals any other protein shake on the market. And it serves up 30 grams of protein, which after 20 sets of biceps work is a tad more appropriate.
One of the first thirst quencher flavors on the list and my least favorite fruit juice flavors. Okay you got me. I consider it that false green apple flavor that many products have: hard candy, chewy candy and fruit juice beverages and sports drinks. A pleasant surprise. Now talk about Guilty Eats, eh dear readers? Does anyone else miss All Sport? Any flavors we missed that you absolutely love? Let us know, dear readers.

I felt like I needed a chaser. They don't make grape ice cream … should they make grape Gatorade? Traditionally, the "low sugar" varieties of flavors tend to be… well… worse than everything else that actually contains sugar.
And this is no exception. Which is really more a testament to those two flavors' tornado of "meh" than anything that Low Sugar Grape does right. This flavor promises three things. It's definitely blue. It's very obviously low sugar. But it is decidedly uncool. Two out of three aint bad. This is where the list starts to get interesting. As I claimed previously, flavors with low sugar are usually worse than anything else — and by that logic, flavors with NO sugar should be even worse, no?
Gatorade's newest flavor line, "Zero Sugar," dropped at tail-end of June , and it's While the low-sugar has a saccharine, almost "fake" taste to it, the zero sugar is a little bit smoother, and has a super subtle flavor that tasted a lot like a low-cal Vitamin Water. Somehow, No sugar bested low sugar.
What a time to be alive and drinking electrolyte-rich sports drinks whilst nursing a hangover. This zero sugar riff on the original Gatorade flavor which we'll be seeing later in the list, obviously does a pretty swell job of keeping that " Lemonade on amphetamines" flavor of the original, while somehow removing all sugar.
Is this healthy? Or at least, healthy-ish? But it can't be worse, right? Essentially the No Sugar varietal of Gatorade's lauded and legendary "Frost" line, Glacier Cherry Zero Sugar is a pretty fine tasting drink for those looking to watch their sugar intake — which, I guess, should be all of us. I can even see some people that are turned off by the normally uber-sweet flavors of traditional Gatorade opting for this flavor as it has a much softer bite, without a bizarre, "fake" aftertaste.
In a recent ad for the zero sugar line, a gravelly-voiced announcer asks "James Harden wouldn't go to the game wearing outdated fashion, so why would he choose an outdated sports drink? And this is where the flavors actually start to get enjoyable. Though this one has the vague, almost-too-familiar "bottom-of-the- farmer's-market barrel" aftertaste. That's what they get for trying to be eco-friendly. If we're going to be totally honest, this pretty much tastes like the other two Organic flavors.
I just ranked it higher because it reminds me of my favorite Drake song. Hotline Bling. Because it makes me realize me I need to stop wearing less and going out more. Tastes like it, too. This one has a very unappetizing coloring to it. I am also fairly sure I am allergic to both pineapples and mangos. Is it hot in here or it just my body rejecting literally everything that I've been doing to it for the past 24 hours? Anyway, this one is not bad. But it's not making me feel better.
I'm actually usually a very big fan of green apple-flavored things … including green apples. I consider Granny Smith to be an invisible, looming matronly influence in my life. This super sour fierce incantation of green apple flavoring looks like the Chicago river on Saint Patrick's Day. But it doesn't taste like it which duh, is good. It's a little too strong for this morning's delicate sensibilities, though I could see myself getting down with this flavor if I was out sporting, and not simply hanging on to consciousness.
If you've ever begrudgingly looked down at a cup of fruit punch, and thought: "Damnit punch, why can't you just be a little more fierce?! A little too fierce for my tastes this AM though. So, they don't really specify which of the many available melons this sucker encompasses. But — given it's traffic cone orange hue and 'loupey essence — I have to venture it's mainly cantaloupe-based.
And as a big cantaloupe fan, this pleases me greatly. It certainly captured the melon-y essence of the 'loupe as I call it. Some thought it tasted like vitamins while others wrote about how they had no idea what was happening when they drank it. Many preferred the other lemonade variation more on that later , calling this one "sweeeeeeeeet" and "not really cute," whatever that means.
Here's where things start to get fun. This was the first flavor to bring up some pre-pubescent memories. Specifically, people recalled tasting Blue Cherry at soccer practice and at the nurse's office. Oh, but there was a mention of "cough syrupy-ness. The lower-sugar version of Glacier Cherry somehow managed to avoid the sticky-sweet aftertaste that came with the original flavor.
Nothing to write home about still, though. The original flavor is so beloved that the G-2 version didn't win over everyone. They still drank it all, though. The first of many instances where the color of the drink was upsetting to people. Lots of "WHY? Another waxed on about its perfume-y green fruit notes. So that about evens out? Have you ever had something "cute-tasting? Most were "pleasantly surprised" by the lightness of this drink: "Tastes like an ice pop—yum.
