Even Drinks Have Sequels Now, for God's Sake
 by Fëanor

So if you watch any TV at all, you've probably seen the epic, enigmatic, sports-themed commercials for Gatorade's new drink, G2, which depict people walking whilst the ground around them transforms into a playing field, and famous rock songs play in the background. I like Gatorade, and I like trying new, weird-flavored drinks, so I was curious to taste G2. But not curious enough to actually buy any myself, especially during the winter, which is a time of year when I rarely feel the need to drink such a beverage. Luckily, my father-in-law knows my odd tendencies, and he happened to end up with eight bottles of the stuff for free, so he gave me four of them and asked me to let him know what I thought. Essentially, he wanted to see if Mikey liked it.

Well, Mikey doesn't! I've had two bottles of this grape-flavored crap, and I've come to the conclusion that it's quite terrible. I haven't had Dimetapp in a long time, but as soon as I took a sip of this, that's immediately what it reminded me of. The only difference is, Dimetapp tastes better.

G2 is pretty much just water combined with fake sugar and grape flavoring. I assume there are other flavors, but I also assume that they taste pretty much as bad.

But if it's so bad, why did I have two bottles, you ask? Because I'm a strange, strange man.
