Gatorade. Is it really better for you than water?

As far as I know, most water has various impurities (sodium and potassium chloride at the very least), so there are electrolytes in it. It might just be in lower concentrations than gatorade.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

After just having some food poisoning and not being able to hold solid foods down for two days, I have to say that the Poweraid Option or Propel Fitness Water were both really good. I tried normal Gatorade, but it was too sugary and would upset my stomach. The others did a pretty good job of keeping me full and hopefully somewhat nourished since I've been driving ten hours a day and couldn't eat anything else.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
