Rating the Thirst Quenching Power of Sports Drinks

Gatorade. Powerade.  Accelerade. And JimAde. That’s right JimAde. Want to know which one is the best thirst quencher? The editors of Men’s Journal did too, so they set up a blind taste test among four trail-runners in the middle of a sweltering six-mile trail run. Then they handed out the beverages. Geezer will let the name of the winner slip (Gatorade), but to see the results for the rest of the field, you’ll have to go to Men’s Journal, where you’ll also find a short piece on the inspiration (and chemicals) behind the newest member of the sports drink team, Accelerade.
