Lol! It might be that zinc texture that I like so much! I'm not overly picky about the taste as long as it's tolerable, but if the texture gets me...I'm there.

Gatorade...*shudder* I drank it for nine months straight because it was one of the few things that I could keep down while pregnant. In general, though, I'd always pick water over any sort of sports drink for taste reasons.
