You are not like the other Powerade Zeroes. They are vaguely medicinal, but their underlying flavors are too well defined--strawberry or grape. You are mixed berry. You allow no questions as to what berries, besides blueberries are actually BLUE.
There are other regular power-ade flavors. Pink Lemonade comes close to you, as do those weird light green and cloudy white ones. But they are named after weird emotions.
You had a competitor in powdered blue Gatorade once, but Sam's Club stopped carrying it. Then Gatorade got Tiger Woods's endorsement. He is from Stanford. I hate Stanford. Plus Gatorade is too sweet tasting to feel like it gives you a charge.
And you are frequently on sale, five for a buck, at Jewel, easing the exorbitant 3% Cook County beverage tax.
Veritably, you are to sports drinks as Ny-Quil is to cold medicine.

Haha. Cook County's sales tax is like 10%. -_- Which is why when I'm done with school, I'll hopefully be moving back home to a much more superior county.
Are you from Chicago? =D

I was going to say that I drink Gatorade, except whoops, Gatorade doesn't exist anymore. Revised statement: I drink G.
I think Powerade should change its name to P.

Suskie--Fortunately the food tax is only 2.25% so that is not so bad. And I think Chicago has one thing on Philadelphia according to the wags: "Chicago and Philadelphia are both corrupt, but Chicago's corruption WORKS BETTER!"

Powerade are involved in a lot of roots football, so I often nab freebies. I always make a beeline for the blue, too.
