Gatorade G2

BevNET Review: This low calorie product from Gatorade drinks like, well, watered down Gatorade. They've used natural sweeteners as well as sucralose and ace-k, which helps keep the calorie and sugar count low. The grape flavor isn't very enjoyable, especially with its candy like finish. As far as the G2 brand goes, it's hard to feel strongly about it, but we're certain that the presence of the trademark Gatorade lightning bolt is what's going to carry this brand. Overall, it's not bad -- but not great either.Reviewed on: 1/18/2008

BevNET Review: We prefer the Orange flavor of G2 over the grape or fruit punch, but more than likely that's just a reflection of how accurate orange flavorings are compared to grape or fruit punch. In any case, the orange flavor does a nice job of masking the added artificial sweeteners, leaving the drink with a full strength level of sweetness but with a low calorie/sugar nutrition panel. It doesn't taste like a typical Gatorade product, but more like what we've come to expect out of the vitamin enhanced water category. That might be OK as this is Gatorade's drink for "non-sweat occasions", but it also might confuse buyers who equate Gatorade as purely a sports drink brand -- especially since the packaging does little explain the drink's purpose. Overall, an interesting concept, but the execution seems a bit flawed.Reviewed on: 1/10/2008
