GATORADE REVIEWS PT 1: GREEN APPLE/STRAWBERRY WATERMELON/STRAWBERRY LEMONADE/GLACIER CHERRY/LIME CUCUMBER [B003]

Sean has been drinking GATORADE.

(This was sometime in June, I am posting this in July and this is not the case anymore. I am drinking Sprecher sodas.)

I drank (5) 32 oz Gatorades. Not in one sitting

Green Apple: 4.23/5 - Flavor is that of a jolly rancher - artificial green apple -, but without the acute sweetness, somehow removing the association Green Apple flavor has with the lower-end candies. This was really surprising

Strawberry Watermelon: 3.8/5 I just remember this feeling a bit water-y and bland. The watermelon, for what was there, I believe was the more artificial sort.

Strawberry Lemonade: 3.4/5 - If only the flavor didn't fade so fast!

Glacier Cherry is a cherry Icee from 7/11, after your mom left it in the car in the middle of summer and then put more ice in it

2/5

Lime Cucumber: 2.5/5 - Acceptable...a weird stinging feeling at the end of it. This is a really bizarre flavor. I can't remember it. I don't actually know how to describe flavors, so I'll keep using words like "bizarre".

This review: 2/5.

ARIZONA SUN BREWED STYLE ICED TEA WITH LEMON FLAVOR (D002)

Yesterday I picked up a bottle of Arizona™ iced tea, this one is lemon flavored(there are lemons on the bottle). The first thing I noticed was the cheap sticker around the neck of the bottle connecting to the cap. Whats the point of this?

This tea is so good the photos only load sideways!

Serving size allows for 5 per bottle, unfortunately.

As soon as I open the bottle, the fake lemony-tea scent fills the air. It smells like an air freshener from a car and kind of gives me a headache.

The cap has gross cheap feeling stickery paper all over it. It's probably unsanitary, dirt and dust could get trapped to it. I hate that paper it feels so gross and the checkered pattern makes me angry.

Since I was afraid I would accidentally spill the tea all over my favorite t-shirt, I poured it out into a glass. Also - the tea was warm. I'm not sure why the store doesn't refrigerate these, but whatever. I had two ice cubes in the freezer so I used those.

After being poured into the cup, the brownish yellow color is revealed. It still smells very fake.

The taste is a mixture of too sour and too sweet. It might be tolerable mixed with one part water. Also - it is probably worth mentioning that this made me very very thirsty. One of the fundamental properties a drink should have is not making you thirsty.

Overall, it's not that bad. If I had to choose between this and Shaq soda, I would probably choose this.
