i was exploring gatorade’s new site and came across this product: http://www.amazon.com/Gatorade-Performance-Carbohydrate-Formula-12-Ounce/dp/B000WLXL8K
it seems to be new, anyone have any experience with it?
I bet they just changed the label
marketing!
It’s on the Gatorade web site. It’s part the performance series. They market as a pre-activity drink and it looks like it’s higher in carbs.
Yep. And they’re selling it for $59.76 for 24 12 ounce bottles. Um, yeah. Seems, how do you say, a bit steep? $2.49 for a 12 oz bottle. I’ll pass.
That has been out for years sold directly from gatorade and at the large marathon expos. It is labelled as pre-race energy drink which has enough sugar in it to make you diarrhea in 5 minutes.

I have a few bottles from a multisports IMLP 2006 camp so it is not that new.
It tastes like syrup concentrated kool-aid. Way too strong.
I used it before a couple of races, but highly prefer the performance shake which I use before IM.
42g of sugar for a 12oz bottle? I might as well stick the bottle directly on my ass and call it a day!
