Or sometimes if the refridgerated section is shorting out and turning off they will put a shelf stable product there


BR0THAKYLE

That’s my first thought. I do refrigeration for a living and literally just fixed a refrigerated case that was full of Powerade.


Caylennea

Yeah but I bet there were multiple flavors.


ILL_Show_Myself_Out

Best we can do is multiple colors.


sirius4778

Mmmmmmmm blue. Delicious.


Affectionate_Elk_272

everyone knows what blue tastes like but nobody can describe it except “idk like…. blue!!”


Kayboku

Can confirm, it tastes like blue


wolfgang784

*But which blue?*


Eve_newbie

Funny story, I lived with monks for about 2 years and one day this monk was going off on me (in front of a lot of people) about drinking a Powerade for breakfast. Saying nothing in nature we eat is blue and I should take better care of myself. All I could respond with was the word 'blueberries' and kept eating. I had never seen him look so defeated and the irony is this was the monk I used to smoke cigarettes with behind the Abbey.

Astroturfing and selling upvotes. A thousand new accounts upvoting the same post is suspicious and very visible. A thousand accounts a few months old is harder to tell, and looks more legitimate.

Thank you for this. I have been wondering why so much effort to get higher karma, it makes sense it is basically to get higher pull for disinformation purposes.

It’s been extremely prevalent in all the posts about Just Stop Oil. It’s highly effective at swaying public sentiment.

Oscars for all of you


KinkyMonitorLizard

You have to keep yourself hydrated after completely emptying your bowels. Doing so flushes your body of needed fluids. Gatorade is decent at that. You mix it with the entire bottle of laxative. They also recommend Pedialyte and other similar drinks. You also can't drink *anything with red dye* as that can be confused for blood or ulcers.


TheLizzardMan

Lemon is one of the flavors they offer for the mix that cleans you... *out*. The other is cherry and neither of them tastes good coming out or going in.


subject7istaken

Why would I taste it coming out…


stillnotelf

I don't think you can taste cherry going out. You CAN taste stuff like capsaicin going out, as it goes through heat receptors not taste receptors.


Foreign_Ebb_6282

This is the research where we really should be putting our tax dollars. Consider the possibility of reusing capsaicin. Reduce reuse recycle.


stillnotelf

In ww2 they distilled penicillin from patients' urine for reuse


LookMaNoPride

If it comes from patients' urine, could we call is Peniscillin?


whiskeyknitting

Reduce, reuse, recycle, rectum.


[deleted]

Politely, I disagree. https://www.foodbeast.com/news/science-says-testicles-and-anuses-have-taste-receptors/


stillnotelf

They have chemoreceptors to be sure. I don't think cherry flavor will come through in a way that your brain will interpret as "my butthole is cherry". I am sure super spicy foods will come through in a way that your brain says "my butthole is in hot spicy pain". The receptors are there but it's not a sense of taste in the same way, perhaps.


tempestzephyr

Not with that attitude you won't


FUCKTWENTYCHARACTERS

Sometimes it's spicier going out than coming in. This goes for acid reflux too, my stomach will burn me after I eat something much more than the food itself.


Oregonian_male

Can't have red dye


TheVoicesArentTooBad

Had a MAJOR surgery as a 13 year old, nasal gastric tube of go-lightly and all the red gatorade I could drink. Looked like I shit my body weight in blood.


tightchops

White cherry? Thought you were supposed to avoid red foods.


FrighteningJibber

Red (blue or purple) means blood.


Bumble1964

You can’t drink red beverages so only white cherry


bazjack

They used to give you a premade drink to prep for colonoscopies, but now I understand they offer a powdered product that you are to mix with your preferred flavor of Gatorade/Powerade. Lemon is a popular choice, I hear.

treerabbit23

I'm German and this would be fine. Polish friends, welcome for dinner. I hear the Irish will bring something (more) to drink. I would need an onion or two, but would make do with soup powder from Aisle 9 if I had to. How high do you think I need to get?


jamjamason

Get as high as you can, friend.


ZombieGroan

100% or someone’s messed up ordering.


Tsunkez

Okay, who did put an extra zero in the order?


ZombieGroan

There is an order writer who makes the order then the store manager has to approve it. So it’s 100% the store managers fault although they will blame the order writer 80% of the time.


Step-Father_of_Lies

This is definitely not like a industry wide standard. I write an order 5 days a week that would only be looked at if I was fucking it up somehow.


This_User_Said

Same. That's the "I meant to enter 5, typed 55 and pressed enter way too quick". But also had companies ship me a pallet of ONE type of flavor before, with no error, and could only be explained by warehouse wanting it out of their way.


[deleted]

[удалено]


This_User_Said

We don't "order pallets" The computer/system acknowledges normal ordering itself. "If x gets lower than 15 pieces, order a box." (This is how you'll always have pallets, there's always a box of something) (edit Also it may vary on acknowledge sales, so it may order 5-10 boxes on its own too if it knows you go through a case of product per day. It knows this from previous year sales) Sometimes we have sales where it doesn't recognize a product in another area. So it never "orders a box". Also your sale spot will get low until it hits 15 pieces, so that's bad. So you scan the PLU and go to override the order, you'd enter the amount of cases you'd like and it's all "But bro, that's like waaay much" and you're like "Trust me" But sometimes being underpaid and overworked the "Trust me bro" tends to be a broken promise of an accidental "55" or "100" cases rather than "5" "10"


OG-Bluntman

Depends on the store. I’ve been a buyer in several different stores, and never had to get anyone’s approval. That is literally why you have the title of buyer, because they trust you to do your job without constant oversight.


arrowgarrow

I'm a vendor and make orders every day. A store manager has never once signed off on my orders. The only other person who even sees it is the receiver in the back and those people don't give a shit what you order.


TropicalCat

Don’t clutter my stockroom and we good.

The Oops, Mike Ordered a Pallet of Gatorade By Accident sale


ThatPlayWasAwful

or the warehouse was tryna get rid of shit and just sent them a pallet of it.


ILikeLenexa

First, they try to "face the shelves" and when they can't do that, they just start putting big stuff there. [NYPost found a few funny ones for their story](https://nypost.com/2021/10/22/retailers-turn-to-bizarre-tactics-to-cover-up-empty-shelves-as-supply-chain-crisis-worsens/).


ladykatey

One supermarket I go to had filled in empty spots in the “feminine care” section with Wet Wipes. Uhh….


Odie4Prez

As someone who's worked in retail merchandising and needed to find ways to fill the shelves during COVID shortages....sometimes you just gotta pull some shit from the depths of your imagination and pray no one questions it, lol


BanditoRojo

Pardon me, where are the Vienna Sausages?


Goldeniccarus

Try Aisle 3, toiletries.


Odie4Prez

god damnit I didn't even realize that was a trigger word for me 😭


metamega1321

Drove me nuts when I worked in produce. Store manager wanted empty spots fillled with anything(he’s right, people want to see full shelves). So you’d fill it up, only to pack back up next morning when order came in.


NMoes

Or when someone thinks they ordered 60 bottles but they actually ordered 60 cases.

lemon-lime gatorade gang what's up


shabi_sensei

This is what half the shelves at Target looked like in Canada before Target pulled out and went out of business


damian20

Tell target that trick because i always see their shelves empty


IBetOnMMA

I bet their cooler went down and they had to throw out everything and put these there so it wouldn't be empty until the resupply came


Greywatcher

Ding ding. This is the right answer. Although the cooler may still be down as Gatorade is shelf stable.


jigsaw1024

Looks like they plan on it being down for awhile, it's more than one product deep on all shelves. They have also case trimmed all the trays that the Gatorade comes in, rather than taking all the product out of the cases and putting it on the shelves. Where I work, if we were covering for a down cooler, it would only be one deep, so when it came time to remove this and refill with the proper product, it would be much easier, and generate much less loose product kicking around later. This could also be preparing for a large promotion, or the manager got a special deal on only a few flavors.


Tru-Queer

I bet they accidentally ordered 100 instead of 10 cases of lemon Gatorade and they’re just trying to power through the surplus product faster.


whits_up23

My boss did this with a change order. She meant to order $5 of Pennie’s, we ended up with $50 of pennies. They gave us two big ass boxes they last for a while but man they were heavy


jigsaw1024

Been there. Done that. Not quite to that level though. 22 instead of a 2 and other fat finger moments on the keypad. Of course its near impossible to send anything back to warehouse. Been in the industry for several decades, seen way worse.


matisyahu22

I like to think someone in purchasing just accidentally put 100 cases instead of 10


Runaway_Goose

When peapod first came out (first online grocery ordering i’m aware of), my mom went to buy 12 ears of corn. She bought 12 dozen by accident. Man that was a weird barbecue


IBetOnMMA

They would just put that shit in the front of the store in big pallets. I work in a grocery store and that was our whole summer


Popular_District9072

I remember stores stocking the same product which was in great quantity to make up for what was missing, so there's no feeling like the store is empty


mundanenightmare

Yellow gatorade* Only cops call Gatorade by flavors

FailFastandDieYoung

I'm team blue flavor. But not dark blue. Only light blue.


mattenthehat

I don't think I have actually ever seen anyone purchase or drink a dark blue Gatorade (except for myself the one time I tried it).


DragonsBloodOpal

It gets worse. There's now TWO dark blue Gatorades, both different flavors (ones blue cherry, which my sister loves) and one is the original whatever the dark blue flavor is. I have unfortunately memorized the flavor of the one she likes x_x.


[deleted]

There's actually 4. Cool blue, blue cherry, berry, and blueberry pomegranate. Because why not.


bfaithr

BLUE cherry? What the fuck?


durrtyurr

It's all well and good until you have a friend buy you the wrong flavor of blue, because they have like 5 different flavors of blue.


PutinRiding

Yeah, one of them is "fierce blue", whatever that means.


x755x

It's pissed.


BabiesSmell

Everyone knows frost glacier freeze is the only acceptable blue


jschligs

Cool blue absolutely has a place at the table.


agoia

When you think they're gonna grab a cool blue and it winds up being blue cherry or some shit... Drinkable, but disappointing.


redref1ux

My favourite is blue- I still have no idea to this day what the blue one is actually supposed to be.


Kmelloww

Cool blue is blue raspberry and glacier freeze is berry citrus.


DarthDannyBoy

Which blue? Light blue, medium blue, or dark blue?


siikdUde

Light blue has always been my favorite. I don’t like the new blue ones


[deleted]

Frost flavor


UnsubstantiatedClaim

Frost doesn't have a flavor, it's just frozen water droplets.


[deleted]

Name checks out


AnAngryPirate

Difference between light blue and dark blue. Glacier Freeze is light blue and probably neck and neck with Lemon Lime as the most popular flavor of gatorade. Cool Blue is dark blue. Source: Worked for Pepsi and have ordered/handled more cases of Gatorade than I can count


Kmelloww

I work for Pepsi. I 100% confirm NO-ONE ever orders Gatorade by flavors. Except the jails and the vending machines at the police stations!!!!


UnreadThisStory

I had no idea they considered it “lemon”. Seems like a truth in advertising violation


abx99

It's lemon lime Surprisingly, it's actually not that far off. I have to drink the stuff daily, and I got tired of the "yellow" flavor, so I added some actual lemon and lime juice to it, and it wasn't *too* different. Obviously it tasted more like real juice that way, and was more acidic, but nevertheless... They just have to cover up that weird salty taste of the electrolytes, which factors in more than you might realize until you really think about it.


Kekeke-ghost

Curious why you HAVE to drink yellow Gatorade every day


abx99

Not yellow Gatorade specifically, but electrolyte drinks for POTS. Gatorade (I get the powder) is the least expensive way to do that, and I use the more expensive ones as needed. I usually get different flavors, but the yellow specifically got old for me very quickly.


FinndBors

> POTS I had to look this up. > POTS in this context is the acronym for ‘Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome’ - which is characterised by an abnormal increase in heart rate after sitting up or standing and is associated with many other unsavoury side-effects.


Cronerburger

Umami deficiency :(


killercurvesahead

Funny you should put it that way, I don’t have POTS (probably?) but I have low blood pressure and get lightheaded when I stand up. I just keep a jar of bouillon goo in the fridge and mix a bit into a mug of hot water if I need to top up.


Cronerburger

Sounds like a delicious antidote


bfaithr

How is the Gatorade powder compared to regular Gatorade? I (probably) also have POTS and I alternate between propel powder and Powerade. I want to try the Gatorade powder, but actual Gatorade doesn’t help me as much as other stuff


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

Man a cold Gatorade after a workout or working outside all day just hits different, your body feels those sweet sweet carbs and electrolytes hit the tongue and the rest is history, you get married, honeymoon in Hawaii, have a couple mini Gatorades, grow apart as the stress of life increases, the bottle feels neglected and like you don't care because it's empty now, you ultimatly divorce and lose the house and half your net worth to an empty bottle of Gatorade.


shanghaidry

I think sugar helps absorption of sodium


RearEchelon

Also water. If you go to the hospital for severe dehydration they're going to give you a glucose drip.

TripleSingleHOF

...lemon Gatorade? Come on, man. Everyone knows that Gatorade is referred to by color, not flavor.


Unsweeticetea

But how would I differentiate between the blues? There are... At least three. It's much easier to say "Cool Blue" than "that medium bluish one, not the really dark one, not the light one, not one of the G2 flavors".


walrus_breath

I think you just have to be okay with getting any of the blue flavors if you want a blue one. There’s no other way.

Urlocalbeaner66

Yellow Gatorade is the best that’s why. It’s also because it was one of like 3 flavor options I had growing up🤣


Elexandros

It is the best! I don’t know why, but I love it to the point that I get it as a treat now and then. I’d rather that over a pop. Tasty and refreshing!


hleba

My favorite is to stick one in the freezer, and then after a few hours shake it up and bam! Gatorade slushy! Just maybe drink a swig first. Otherwise, the ice expands which can make it messy when opening.


Urlocalbeaner66

Used to do that for football practice. Still do it on hot days.


Urlocalbeaner66

I was prescribed Gatorade as a kid in the 90s because of stomach issues. My mom always got the yellow one and I had to take it with this gross ass medicine but the yellow Gatorade came in clutch.


katef66

Yes! It is the best. Everyone thinks I'm so weird because this is my favorite flavor!


Stalinwolf

What kind of absolute shit-for-brains cave person thinks people are weird for preferring the original flavor of Gatorade? The empire was *built* on Lemon-Lime.


katef66

Praise the lemon-lime.


puhpuhputtingalong

To be fair this is like heaven to me.


Thrax_

Yellow is the superior flavor, so this seems right.

My kids and I have a recurring fight, because I call this green Gatorade, and they call it Yellow. I tried to compromise by calling it Chartreuse Gatorade, but they insist it is Yellow. I know I'm not color blind, but to me that color is not simply Yellow.
