So, G2 is made by Gatorade, but they put a picture of their logo instead of saying Gatorade. I picked up a bottle of Orange G2 at the Wal-Mart the other day. It was ¢.98, which if you know me, is the kind of price I like to pay for a beverage that comes in a 32 fl oz bottle. The draw of this is the low calorie aspect of it. 25 calories per serving, 4 servings per bottle. If we crunch the numbers, that works out to 100 calories for 32 oz of what I consider a tasty beverage.
The orange flavors are quite nice. There is plenty of sweetness to make this a nice sweet drink if you like that, but it does quench your thirst and does not leave that lingering desire for more liquid in your mouth. It still has that Gatoradeness to it, if you drink Gatorade (like I do), you’ll know what I’m talking about. This does not contain fruit juice, and it does use high fructose corn syrup. That means guys like The Drinkina…errr Dave won’t come and steal it from you. I recommend this to anyone who is looking for a sports drink to replenish those electrolyte’s, but not down a bunch of calories in the process.
