We got two free bottles of Gatorade G2 when we ordered a pizza the other night. According to the label, this is a “low calorie electrolyte beverage”. As anyone who has seen Idiocracy knows that “electrolytes” is marketing-speak for salt. As for being “low calorie”, keep in mind that all things are relative. Compared to a sugar-laden bottle of Pepsi, G2 is indeed “low calorie”. Compared to anything remotely good for you, G2 is sugar water — which is, in fact, what it is.

Ingredients: Water, sucrose syrup, high fructose corn syrup, citric acid, natural and artificial flavors, sodium citrate, salt, monopotassium phosphate, sucralose, acesulfame potassium, red 40.

Do not drink this crap.
