You know, with the exception of one deadly and unpredictable midget, this girl is the smallest cargo I've ever had to transport. Yet by far the most troublesome. Does that seem right to you?

Worst Summer Cocktail - Pina Colada

I cry foul as I was just reading that a real Pina Colada isn't a creamy frozen drink, but much closer to a margarita, except with rum in the place of tequila.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Admittedly I prefer to cut my VitaminWater with more water by a half, but when their serving size is 12oz and sugar is 19g, how is that comparable to a 8oz of coke with 27g of total carbs?

a bottle of this stuff carries nearly as much sugar and calories as a can of Coke

Puh-lease. Different size bottles, all bigger than the average can of Coke.

Sparky, when I was training for the AIDSRide, I swore by Balance Energy Drink . It didn't make my blood sugar go all wonky, and tasted pretty good.

Gatorade gives me a stomach ache in a big way.

Coconut water is not at all gross. And actually less flavorful than you'd imagine...but it does have good nutrients in it.

I cannot bear coconut water. My stomach gets heave-y just reading about it.

What can I say? I'm not into health food.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I think it's worthwhile to point out that a standard serving of vitamin water is as caloric as a standard serving of Coke.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I'd rather have a Coke. But I'm working on cutting down to one a day. I swear.

I lost another pound. Just one a week, is all I'm asking.

That which does not kill you should RUN

When I need a sports drink, I buy it in powder form and dilute it by 25% or so when I make it.

I always get Gatorade, because I compared its percentages of sodium and potassium to those of Powerade, and Powerade is really just barely half a step away from being Kool-Aid. Gatorade seems to have a decent amount of the electrolytes. (And my own anecdotal experience is that Gatorade always makes me feel better if I'm dehydrated and ready to expire, while Powerade generally does not.)
