My Kids Told Me To Mix 100 Sports Drinks into One Drink

[@LitVolWashCounty]

In the days before Pedialite and sports drinks, my dad, who was a pediatrician, always shared a recipe with his patients' parents for when their children had "the runs" to help them stay hydrated. He'd tell them to boil a quart of water, add a tablespoon of sugar and a teaspoon of salt, and keep it in the refrigerator. I did the same when my children were little, and have given them the recipe for their families. I've also read that the recipe is an inexpensive treatment used in places where cholera is a problem.

[@Melaramaa]

Emmy you're a breath of fresh air on KZbin, had it be anyone else doing this challenge they would probably be screaming the entire time and be adding 100 different vfx effects to the video. I really appreciate your chill and layback style, it feels very authentic.

[@greaterthanme876]

I agree, less is more and Emmy is purely herself which makes her channel one of my favorites! She is such a gem of KZbin!

[@Lisa_Flowers]

You must be on the wrong side of KZbin if you can't find people who would approach these kind of challenges the same way Emmy does 😅 She's lovely but it's a bit of a stereotype that every KZbinr screams at the top of their lungs and over edits their videos. There are a fair amount that don't!

This is interesting to me because I actually work as a professional taste tester at a company that manufactures sports drinks, among other things. Actually, it's the division of a major food company, that does all their medical nutrition products. Believe it or not, that's actually a job that you can get. The food scientists use the information they collect from us to help figure out how to change recipes for products. We have to make a list of all the different flavors we taste in a product. Then once they have that list, we go through one by one and assign a number rating to how intense each flavor is. We mainly do gummy vitamins, Boost/Ensure type nutritional drinks, and hydration drinks. Sometimes we do have to taste weird things like baby formula or feeding tube formula.

[@jules3048]

@@jules3048 It's $20 per hour for 16 hours per week. But my situation is kind of unique. Most other companies have less work than that.

I used to go to a movie theater back in the day, where they offered you about 5 different sodas to drink, but if you asked for something called "Swamp Water" they'd mix all five sodas together and give you that. This kind of reminds me of that, but what on Earth would you call mixing 100 drinks together? lol

[@crispychubs]

I stopped drinking soda back in 2011 and haven't had one since, but I think the thing I miss most about sodas is going up to the fountain at a fast food restaurant and just combining all the flavors into one cup. It was disgusting, delicious, exciting, and scary all at once. It felt like life.

[@crazy4277]

I can not imagine how costly all those drinks were! 😮

[@pearface5370]

Emmy, thank you for tasting many of these beverages. I lean towards your preferred flavor profile, not too sweet citrus. I enjoyed hearing your description of these beverages. I might try the Karma strawberry lemonade because it looks like fun to push the granules into the water. 😁❤

[@rigby321]

I wonder if drinking them warm/room temperature is the problem. Cucumber lime is great but I don't love it once it warms up.

[@kerriadkins8197]

When I worked at a grocery store, those 3 (red, orange, and lemon-lime) were the least like flavors in our area, especially that lemon-lime! The Gatorade would come on a giant pallet and the bottom 2 layers would inevitably be only lemon lime

[@BonnieBuggie]

in the vein of calling mixed drinks “swamp water” and the like my vote is to call this mixed drink a “cambrian explosion”. it looks like primordial ocean water and would probably beget millions of strange and abnormal lifeforms if left alone too long LMAO

[@summerf3022]

Emmy!!! You made my Saturday night 👏🏼👏🏼😍

[@WantedVisual]

I'm diabetic and experience has taught that the only artificial sweetener without any real aftertaste is sucralose. That being said, sucralose is overpoweringly sweet whenever it's used, like liquid dextrose tablets. You can counter it to a point with acidity, but then your drink tastes like sour gummy candy (with the advertised flavor, but still). Honestly, the best combo I've found for when I'm craving a sweet drink is a soda that is part fruit juice (with the sugar but also acidity that entails), part sucralose, part stevia or acesulfame potassium. It's not sugar free, but it's low enough that one glass won't put me in the rollercoaster version of reality.

The only good thing about the Gatorade glacier cherry is that it hides the taste of the prep you have to drink before a colonoscopy. As for the rest, if they could make a reduced sugar version without adding stevia, monk fruit, or any of the other "sweeteners", I'd be thrilled!

Another tasty mix is mixing lipton powdered sweet tea, sprite and squeezing some lemon. Tastes surprisingly good. 🙂 I only drink Gatorade when i end up with really bad indigestion issues. Helps to replenish what was lost. My favorite flavor is cucumber/lime. I was shocked to see she didn’t like the flavor. It’s understandable, not a lot of people like it. 😆 I stay away from anything that says “zero sugar”, it’s artificial chemical sugar and has a link to cancer. Stevia, aspartame, Splenda and more. Es no bueno. It’s 3X sweeter than normal and yes it does have a chemical aftertaste. This was interesting to see (almost) all the drinks mixed. If I could I would gladly take cucumber/lime off your hands and some of the vitamins waters lol 😜

As a diabetic and someone who works out I can tell you it's not only you a lot of those zero sugar zero calorie energy drinks are way too sweet. And does the sativia is way too sweet it's almost like a harsh chemical sweetness and I know it's from a plan but it tastes so bad it has a horrible bitter aftertaste almost like a medicine aftertaste. At least I know it wasn't only the few I tried but the majority of them.

[@tmf866]

The idea of a sports drink is that it gives you electrolytes to keep you hydrated and sugar to give you energy, so in fact they're supposed to be sweet. If you drink one when you're sweating... if you need sugar it tastes salty not sweet, if you need electrolytes (salt) it tastes sweet not salty, and if you need both it tastes like... slightly flavored water. Why do they make the sugar free ones taste so sweet? To meet customer expectations.
