Whether or not the shittonne of sugar in Gatorade is a problem depends on the person. A lazy Google search tells me professional athletes require between 3000 and 8000 calories, obviously depending on what sport they are engaged in. They could probably use the sugar; they're probably pounding protein shakes too, and you can't get all of your calories from protein long-term, you need sugar or fat or ideally both.

Then there's alcoholics using Gatorade for hangover recovery. Alcoholism tends to reduce food intake, causing alcoholics to frequently be underweight. Sugar in the default hangover drink isn't hurting them, they probably need it, and could probably use more calories besides. I know, this one is me. My license says I'm 5'9", and the scale just told me I'm 108 lbs. With a BMI of 15.9, any calorie I consume is a good thing, regardless of whether it's dextrose, sucrose, a complex carb, or protein.

Inactive people who eat more than they need and are overweight because of it don't need the sugar in Gatorade, but also probably aren't active enough to need the electrolytes in Gatorade; they should be drinking water

Water is best for sports hydrations.

It's literally not, but okay

A tech startup with vague likely unrealistic hopes? What are the chances?

I think part of it is the English/French rivalry here; I'm in Alberta and I know more people who can speak Spanish than French.

I agree. Given that I use Gmail, Google ought to know basically everything about me, so why do I keep getting ads for diamonds, instead of GPUs?

Why are they spying on me if they aren't going to use that information?

Maybe the cruelty is the point?

At what point does the US let them know that we're not going to let them drag us into WW3 just because they need to steal some land

The US is going to let Israel drag them into WWIII

Oh did it? That's cool, I somehow didn't hear about it
