I recently put a complaint in on your smaller size Gatorade bottles and you got back to me and said it was because it was easier to grip. What does the indented bottom have anything to do with grip? It does not.

The store that I used to buy the Gatorade at I don't anymore I buy the Powerade it's cheaper and you get more of it and it's just as good. All my friends switched over to Powerade also the owner of the store doesn't even order it anymore because it just sits on his shelves cuz nobody buys it cuz they're all buying Powerade instead.

People aren't stupid you try to fool us and it backfires. Have a great day!

Your twist caps are IMPOSSIBLE to open! I'm a perfectly capable 30 something adult and I have to ask my husband to open it every time! This is highly annoying and inconvenient. Please, I can't be the only one to have complained about this.

The only flavor I like is rainberry and it is downright impossible to open.. It is the only flavor that is so hard to open. Try opening one yourself! I shouldnt be burning my hands trying so hard to open it.

Many of your 32 ounce bottles have caps that are on so tight it takes someone with great strength to open them.

I recently purchased several 28 FL Gatorade Flow Thirst Quencher ( Kiwi Strawberry ) I do not drink Gatorade however my son's, husband and co workers do. So I buy quite a bit for home and office. I believe their is an issue with this flavor, my son drank 2 28FL bottles but, his third one he claimed tasted like someone urinated in it or had a rotten taste to it.

I dismissed it at the time then a few days later my husband was drinking one and made the same statement. I again dismissed it, now at wok my employee brings me a bottle of the same flavor, and states the same thing.

This flavor or batch needs to be checked. I reside in Texas, one purchase was made from Albertsons grocery in in Fort worth Texas the others were purchased from Mobil gas station in Wells Point Texas. I am considering…

Dear Gatorade:

I get leg cramps and your product was recommended to me by a doctor. I use your product daily. However the lids are so tight that I can't get them off without turning my hands red from the exertion. I understand safety, but this is overkill.

Sincerely,

Maureen Klapperich

Last night I bought a Gatorade from The Plaid on 223rd Avenue Southeast Stark Street and I opened it I started to drink it and I noticed something floating in my water I stopped to drink I looked in and it seems as if somebody has spit inside of the Gatorade before it was sealed I am very upset with what happened and I am considering suing

At the Santa Barbara lacrosse tournament today, Gatorade had bottles of the new organic Gatorade. I wanted to bring one to my daughter who was almost at halftime, the Gatorade promo guy said, “ sorry, only the players can have these”.

I told him I was bringing it to my daughter, all he said was, “NEXT”. maybe they should think about who is doing the grocery store shopping.

I bought a bottles of gatorade for quite some time. When was about open and to peel safety sticker which wasn't on the plaace. ,the rest of the sticker was scrwed under lead. Few weeks after that i couldn't believe it,I just bought 3 Gatorade and the seal was great i peeled off and screwed lead back on and opened the opening to be able to drink it didn't worked.

Hopefully i would get some compromise and resolve this in times. Regard,Jovan D.

I am writing to you because I am a long time buyer of Gatorade product and my last experience with the drink really made me unhappy. I opened one of the products to see that the inside white seal was damaged and not sealed correctly. It was a really hot day and when i decided to get my drink and have it I couldn't drink it because I couldn't take the chance of something being in my drink due to the improper white seal inside.

I had to work the rest of the day very thirsty without anything to drink since there wasn't any stores around where i was working. I'm not going to lie, I wasn't a very happy camper with my last experience I had with Gatorade. I have attached a few pictures of the products I had along with the UPC and proof of purchase. I hope that management at Gatorade can make it…

I am a coach of Monteuil Bantam BB (2002 and 2003 players) and we recently purchased 6 new gatorade water bottles at Rousseau sport and they seem to be defective. Whenever we screw on the tops, the water leaks all around them. I'm not the type to normal he complains but in this case the bottles were paid with the team funds and I don't feel it's right we should be buying new bottles again to replace the ones.

Have purchased packages of Gatorade Frost in 12 oz. sizes. I am 76 yrs. old, have arthritis. I absolutely cannot open these bottles, even using grippers, etc. So, I cannot buy them in the future because I have no-one around to open, and my electric bottle opener won't go down small enough to uncap.

Can Gatorade not review their caps, possibly make it easy to open?

I'm fairly disapointed in your Gatorade flavour called "Glacier cherry" when in reality it tastes like any old fruit punch and I don't even taste cherry.

Our family has been using Gatorade for at least 15 years and the vast majority of the time we are very well pleased with this product. We normally buy at least one case of 32 oz bottles of GATORADE each week and when it is on sale we often buy as much as ten (10) cases in one shopping trip We currently have about 8 cases in the house. The Gatorade that we keep in our house is put up in the original boxes-plastic wrapped and kept in a closet that is air conditioned. Our problem is this, last year and again this year, we went to the closet to get several bottles to put in the refrigerator . We always make it a habit to shake up all the un-opened gatorade before putting in our refrigerator.

My husband picked up one bottle of Lemon-Lime and turned it over to shake it and he saw a whole bunch…

I have been drinking Gatorade energy drinks for more than 6 months now and I must say they have done me good. I feel energetic all day compared to prior. They hydrate the body leaving us refreshed. Gatorade contains carbohydrates to provide energy and fluid and electrolytes to hydrate in ways that plain water can€t.

I have started taking the protein shake and the whey protein bar since I have started working out. And these are doing me really good. I feel extremely fit and healthy. Thanks to Gatorade for such products.
