I do know people who just drink it recreationally.
Like Emmett.
Zach, too. Freaks.
Mal: You know, you ain't quite right. River: It's the popular theory.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Like Emmett.
But he's a kid. That doesn't count.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I was told (and do believe) that when you need it, it's tasty, otherwise -- saltwater.
I had chronic kidney problems as a child, and went through one really bad period when all I was allowed to drink was Gatorade, because my body wasn't processing electrolytes properly. It tasted only slightly less like urine than the prescription electrolyte replacement crap they tried to give me before they decided Gatorade would be a reasonable alternative.
(Though I am willing to believe that they have probably improved the flavors over the past 20 years, I'll never know from personal experience because I will never, ever, ever drink it again.)

What is even happening?
Our John Hancock pre-dates yours. And we even have an Old John Hancock Building right next to it.I like how you can see the reflection of the old JHT in the newer one.
Our JHT was originally notable for the flaw in its big glass windows, which had them shattering whenever a high wind blows. And it blew a whole lot. So for a while in the 70s, it was a 60 story plywood-sided skyscraper. Such fun!Hee, I remember that.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I find Gatorade of the nast even when I'm craving it after distance runs. Then again, I am Saltless Queen.
I hate salt myself, but can barely taste it when I'm inhaling it. Or if I'm sick, and I cut it 50% with water -- it's okay, though nothing I'd ever choose over plain water if I weren't in need.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
But he's a kid. That doesn't count.
It really doesn't when considering basal food norms. Because he likes the ugliest nastiest Gatorades too - like the blue one.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Was falling glass, like, decapitating pedestrians?

Would it decapitate, or just multiply stab?

Blue was my favorite flavor when I was Emmett's age, too, but in my day all we had was blue "raspberry" slushes.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
I love Gatorade! Especially the blue flavors! (Also good with vodka in it.) (Yeah, SO healthy.)
What exactly is the Chantico?
It's not really hot chocolate. It's more like drinking hot chocolate pudding while it's still liquid before it sets.
That....doesn't really sell me on it.
