Gatorade makes a drink I am quite fond of called Propel Fitness Water. The label says it is a “water beverage”. What exactly does that mean? Aren’t all beverages water based? I haven’t caught anyone drinking any oil lately. The aren’t many people (living at least) who regularly drink straight alcohol (ethanol) either.

Propel has 25 calories, lots of vitamins, and comes in all sorts of yummy flavors that taste like the Kool-Aid you drank as a kid. I have come to use Propel as a “water replacement beverage”, meaning that I don’t really drink water anymore….only Propel. I now refer to water as “flavorless” Propel.

The artificial sweetener in Propel is Sucralose. What is Sucralose? Well….here is what I got from Wikipedia:

It is 500

    Man, I just read something this morning in my baby book about water. It turns out, if you drink enough of it you can get a water intoxication. Babies can do it much easier since they have a smaller supply of blood to dilute, but just imagine if we’d known this as kids.

    “What’re you guys doing?”
    “Nothing, just drinking some water….to get fucked up!! WHoooohooooooo!!!!”

    But I guess 8 ball is probably still cheaper than water….
