I would also agree that right now Gatorade is probably the more popular choice of sports drinks. I feel that this has to do primarily with the advertising approach they take. I see commercials for the new Gatorade Prime all the time with star athletes like Kevin Durant promoting the product. Meanwhile, I rarely ever see Powerade commercials. In today’s world it truly is all about getting the tiniest advantage over your competitors. If a young athlete is looking in the cooler at the convenience store and has to choose either Gatorade or Powerade, he will most likely choose Gatorade because of the star athletes who promote it.
That being said, I personally think Powerade is much better than Gatorade. You explained how Gatorade has high levels of sodium in their product and I honestly feel that I can taste it. For me, it’s no longer about the advertisement, but the taste. Growing up, however, I would always choose the product that I saw advertised and promoted most. It is no wonder why some many young people choose Gatorade.
