Gatorade’s new Propel “Vitamin Enhanced Water Beverage” is completely not like what i expecting. I was thinking it was gonna be a really watered down flavor, but it wasn’t. It was quite tasty. The peach flavor is quite good.
Gatorade calling it a “water beverage” is odd for several reasons:
1) Flavored water brings to mind something that has barely any taste
2) “Water Beverage” is rather redundant.
Perhaps they are trying to cash in on the market for bottled water.
thanks to erin for suggesting this.
I like this stuff! I’ve tried the berry flavor. I was gonna try the peach yesterday but decided against it. I think they are really good, and according to the label, not bad for you either. I want to try the raspberry next. Definitely does the trick after a long run.
really? it does the trick after a long run? It seems like this is more a fitness drink, as in it’s like having vitamins. While Gatorade is more a workout drink, cuz it replaces things you lose when you work out. Then again, maybe the propel gives you vitamins that you burn up while you work out. On the package of propel, it says “It contains antioxidant vitamins C and E, along with B vitamins witch aid in energy metabolism as part of a daily diet.” It doesn’t saything specific about exercise, but more about a daily diet. But then again, i’m don’t know much about working out, so i could be wrong.
i was at a seminar downtown a year or so ago. It was lunch break and i walked down to mcdonalds. on my there, there were like 4 huge a55 coolers full of Propel. They were just introduced to the market at the time. So i grabbed one so i wouldn’t have to pay for a beverage at mickey d’s. It was very tasty. I was quite proud of myself for taking one. On my way back to the seminar, i managed to grab two more. Score! What a a great memory. Though I did have to make more pitstops in the afternoon due to all the vitamin-enriched water I was consuming.
Erik, I bet your pee was quite yellow. WARNING: DO NOT BUY THE LEMON FLAVOR. It is really bad. It’s like putting water into a bowl of trix and then drinking it.
the berry flavored Propel Fitness Water is too sweet. It’s like drinking Tropical Punch Kool-Aid. But it’s not berry bad.
I used to walk by and look at it and actually think it was a ” Plain Water ” yet I tried it once and I’m hooked! I think when I’m buying them at the stores I grab 3 of them at once. When I’m at Price Club, I’m buying 2 cases or so. It’s that good! Worth the extra pennies…
