Lemon lime, green apple and ice blue are the best by far

The question is--- Is Gatorade the same today as it was back in 1966??? I remember drinking Gatorade in 1966 when I was mowing lawns in Pinellas County in the hot Florida sun. My neighbor gave it to me to drink instead of a soft drink when I was mowing his grass. It came in a glass bottle and had a sort of a weird lemon-lime taste, but it definitely quenched my thirst when I was mowing lawns. I remember that even though I would be sweating, I was no longer thirsty after drinking some Gatorade. That was 55 years ago. I hope that Gatorade is the same formulation today as it was back then.

Lemon lime will always be the GOAT

And now it is water, large amounts of sugar, and a tiny pinch of salt. It's what plants crave.
