I can't imagine what could have happened if you decided to do some reading in a public bathroom. What a great story! Thanks so much for sharing it and spreading the word about Write The Company.

I'm laughing my head off, and everyone is wondering what's so funny. Finally, someone has the courage to ask me and after telling everyone about this blog, ten more people whip up their cell phones to log into this page. Keep up the good humor and keep us laughing, it does wonders for the soul. I’m sitting in a waiting room, and of course, I’m reading the Write The Company blog.

Remember that a reservoir originally started out as an artificial lake where water is collected. You have an artificial reservoir where Gatorade has collected. So it's important to consider the source. You could always try hiking more often, reducing your level of liquid leftovers before the flavor changes. Or, rinsing out your hydration pack after each hike rather than letting Gatorade sit in there for a week might make things taste better. Plus, there will be less bacteria doing the backstroke in your reservoir. Thanks for commenting -- Happy hiking and hydrating!

Do you think this has to do with the Gatorade or with the plastic reservoir from the hydration pack?

Unfortunately, since I don't sweat over anything, the 5g, 12g respectively of sucrose probably aren't benefitting me. "There is no benefit to consuming more than 0.5 g/lb/h. The extra carbs can’t be used and will slow absorption which defeats the purpose of ingesting carbs in the first place." I'm going to remember this piece of info when I have my spaghetti dinner, tomorrow night (and all future dinners!). Great company response! I absolutely LOVE Gatorade!
