Gatorade Thirst Quencher Cool Blue Sports Drinks, 12 fl oz, 12 Count Bottles

I keep my fridge STOCKED on this. I never really liked soda, it never quenched my thirst and I can't stand that bubbly feeling. I grew up on Kool aid so I am used to a SWEET taste. I also NEED constant hydration. I had tried this decades ago but still being so used to the Kool aid SUGAR sweet taste, it tasted "watery" to me. I ended up having my stomach removed. A few things were sent home w me from the hospital to prep me for my surgery. One being a bottle of this lemon lime gatorade. It wasn't bad. After surgery I needed lots of fluids - NO SUGAR. Tried many things and diff flavors, discovering the the cherry splash crystal light and I was addicted. THAT was my all day every day hydration, thirst quencher, delicious ZERO SUGAR sweet taste but then ppl started buying out the stores of it ALL selling out for MUCH MUCH higher. I REFUSE to pay even $10 online for something that's $3. I just couldn't find it anywhere. I ended up getting extremely sick after moving and I couldn't eat or drink anything. I was actually CRAVING chicken soup and ELECTROLYTES. Idk why, i guess my body just really needed it and the hospital DID give this to me out of every other drink out there along w special wash, etc to use/dribk b4 coming in for surgery so i took my but sick af to the store for soup and a few diff flavors of gatorade which slowly nursed me back to health. Once healthy again n still trying diff flavors, this was the one I'd always finish and want ANOTHER while the other flavors...were just eh. I would never drink them just to drink, only w meals or extreme thirst. Fast forward - I found a store that FINALLY had my cherry splash crystal light and i got A TON of bottles. (this one has caffeine which I DO like) WELL... months later, I've only gone thru one which normally would be gone in a few days and I buy CASES of this EVERY month. Long story short is this is THE BEST thing for you in regards to hydration, it truly quenches your thirst and isn't full of sugar like Kool aid or soda. I CANNOT EVER be out of this. I learned exactly how many 12 packs I need now for a month so I'm not down to just one bottle or even OUT completely worrying for my monthly grocery delivery. Also, being delivered right to my door - convenient. THE PRICE is lower than ANYWHERE else I've looked. I did give it 4 stars but only cuz although I do get the Lemon LIME flavor every month, it mostly tasted LEMON to me. This particular batch is more lime to me which does really make it taste a bit different. I'm not sure why or how but that's just a me thing probably. I will continue to keep my fridge STOCKED with backups as I get more room in the fridge to restock again. I rather try to find a place to put all these bottles than EVER run out. Also, I NEVER could drink just plain water that my time would always be dark. I now have newly clear urine w all the gatorade I drink all day every day.
