Someone said they're old enough to remember drinking Gatorade out of glass bottles, and that hurt my soul.

I remember rhe glass bottles because I was always getting crowned by my boys cause we'd get done playing ball and go to the store and they'd all get sodas or some other super sweet drink and I'd always grab a citrus cooler Gatorade, it really did quench your thirst like plain water. Then a couple years later they switched to the plastic squeeze bottles and it seems they added more sugar because all of a sudden everyone was drinking Gatorade. I remember when most ppl complained that it was too bitter so they switched up and got more flavors and it kept getting sweeter and really stopped quenching your thirst. This was around 94-95.

I can't prove that they added more sugar to Gatorade now but it sure seems like it to me.

They made it more juice like by using High Fructose Corn Syrup. That sweetener causes dehydration and thus makes you crave more liquid to quench your thirst.

Gatorade used to quench your thirst big time, but they change shyt up.

I remember a lady used to tell me Hershey Chocolate formula was changed too. They did something to the recipe she would say, I figured as you get older ya taste buds change over time. But numerous people say the same thing.

Most are plastic... SOME... just some places you can get a glass bottle...:ld: the plastic bottles doesnt hit the same....
I remember going to a corner store on hot summer days, grabbing a glass bottle of Snapple, then exiting while hitting the bottom of the bottle before popping the cap, creating that satisfying “pop” sound
:wow:

the Snapple sodas, lordt
I feel like they were sweetened with cane sugar and they were fire
Main flavor that stands out is the tru root beer, it tasted great but had no food coloring so it was clear
some of the other flavors were great, basically jones cola before they hit the market

They are right....

Companies change recipes as the price of ingredients changes. They go the cheap route.

Most of these companies have done that.
