NEW Green Apple Flavored Gatorade Review!

With the recent release of Green Apple flavored Gatorade, I have found many good reviews about the product but what do you expect from the world's leading sports drink. As the world's leading sports drink, Gatorade does not really have any competition on the market. So isn't it fair to say that who really knows if it is the worlds leading sports drink. Yeah there are a few other sports drinks on the market but Gatorade does not have much competition.


That being said, the new Green Apple Gatorade, I have to admit, is not the strongest flavor they have made. The taste is just not as present in the drink as it is made out to be. Even though Gatorade is such a high selling product, there is still little to no room for error when producing new products. I believe Gatorade took a huge gamble by producing a new flavor and I believe it is coming back to bit the company in the backside.


In the interview on NBC's "Dateline," with Matt Lauer, president of Gatorade Rich Beck made quite a few bold statements that I feel are not backed up with the production of the new drink. The interview can be found in it's entirety here. Since Gatorade has so many products on the market, I find it irrelevant to come out with a new flavor. Gatorade already has almost every flavor of drink under the sun, and to produce a new product, I believe, will just cause confusion among Gatorade customers.


I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but not many people know the story I am about to share. President Rich Beck has made this product out to be the best tasting drink they have produced but what many don't know is that the ingredients are causing some customers to become ill.


People around the nation are becoming ill due to this product for the following reasons:
1. An over amount of Vitamin C
2. Outrageous high number of sugars and starches
3. Not enough water, too much flavor.




A news paper in Roanoke, Virginia, The Roanoke Times, got word of a young man who played soccer in the Roanoke Valley and after a soccer game, drank the new flavored Gatorade and became ill with food poisoning, or in his case, drink poisoning that was the result of the new Green Apple Flavored Gatorade.  This certain individual spent 3 days in the hospital with what Gatorade is supposed to offer the opposite of; severe dehydration. The young man did recover and returned to the soccer field after recovering but don't let this new flavor fool you.


I believe that if more of these outbreaks of drink positing continue to occur, President of Gatorade Rich Beck will be forced to remove the product from the shelves and will unfortunatley take a major hit in sales of the Gatorade products as a whole.


I have tried the new product myself and can attest that there is nothing special about it. My advice as someone who has tried the product is to save your money. Their are plenty other Gatorade flavors out there that can provide the right treatment after a workout that obviously the new flavor of Gatorade cannot do. When buying any new product, especially Gatorade, be sure to read the nutrition facts and make sure everything is sufficient for what you are looking for.

President Obama and the NCAA Tournament

President Barack Obama has been well involved in the selection process of the NCAA men's basketball tournament. Millions of people throughout the United States fill out NCAA tournament brackets to see how many teams they can pick to win games. President Obama is one of these millions of individuals. Recently the United States fired missiles into the country of Libya a couple weeks ago and according to the president they were "warning missiles." Recently a survey showed that the majority of the United States citizens are opposed to the firing of these missiles. A run down of this survey can be found here.

One might ask what the United States involvement in Libya has to do with college basketball but I am here to explain how it is relevant. It is this simple, President Obama has more to worry about than filling out a college basketball bracket. and then having his own segment on ESPN about his selections (see above video). Now granite there is nothing wrong with filling out brackets and in the President's defense, there is no problem being a sports fan as many people know about the President. This however is not the first time The President has made a big comotion about college basketball. His first year in office he did a segment on ESPN just like this year about his selections. At the time the country didn't know what to expect, not so much this time Mr. President. The nation has spoken and spoken loudly. In response to the criticism he has received about this topic, President Obama said in an interview with Dianne Sawyer that  “obviously, I hadn’t been spending that much time studying it since I don’t have anybody in the Final Four.”

It seems like this nation just keeps digging deeper and deeper getting into more and more trouble. Its one thing after the next. First it's the recession, then its the medical reform, now it's rising gas prices, a history making earthquake in Japan and missiles being shot into an almost defenseless country. Get real. As far as I'm concerned, President Obama needs to get his head out of his backside and focus on the tasks at hand. Just like when the nation criticized former President Bush about his efforts to help the Gulf Coast after Hurricane Katrina and now President Obama is nowhere to be found when it comes to relief efforts in Japan. Ya know where Obama is? He's in his comfy chair in the Oval Office filling out a college basketball bracket while being filmed on ESPN, that's where our President is. Let's leave the NCAA tournament selections up to the professionals like Jay Bilas. And while were at it, Let's leave bigger and better problems such as the loss of innocent lives to the President of the United States and have him focus on these things instead of waisting his precious time filling out basketball brackets and taking up television air time in the process.
