Blue gatorade is "glacier freeze" what kinda flavor is that? But the purple one is always grape

Originally it was blueberry flavored. When it first came out I was very young.

It is fruit punch. The color however is red. How this all came about, is adults would ask a child what flavor do you want? The kids stand there thinking and finally the adult says okay which color do you want? As time went on the kids grew up and said what flavor do you want red or blue?

Cant be called "fruit punch" since it doesnt contain any fruit juice

Did it taste different? Or did they just change the name?

Lemon-lime came out first didn't it? Old mind sometimes memories are fuzzy lol.

Fruit punch is the flavor the original bottles even had it printed on them. For the Blueberry the name had been changed....... I do believe it still taste the same. I haven't had it for a bit now.

Schools do require it...unless you have a religous exemption. Thats what I feel people are losing sight of. People are scared right now so they act in fear. But you know how to get covid really easily? Stand in line daily with other people who think they have covid to get tested. Guarantee you will be your own decider of your fate. Take vitamin D, vitamin C, mask up and wash your hands!

Huh, not all schools do. Not ours anyway. 3 of 4 grandchildren haven’t been vaccinated and they’re all eligible. Here we don’t have to stand in line to get tested, we drive up and never leave the car. Hubs and I just take a multivitamin a few days a week and try to eat well most of the time. Yes we mask and sanitize, but we’re also vaccinated and plan on getting our boosters in January. We’ve both had colds/flu that made us feel worse than our Covid experience.

We didn’t get vaccinated out of fear of anything, and why we did is of no consequence to anyone here. My husband gets so angry about people not getting vaccinated and says your decision to not do so hurts those around you. I’ve explained to him several times that the freedom to choose is everyone’s right, even those we disagree with. I feel protected, the vaccine will keep me out of the hospital and my illness manageable if I do get sick again. Those that don’t get vaccinated have the right to potentially risk their lives and that of their friends/families, but I’m protected from that choice by my own.

Vaccinated people are also risking there's thinking they are bulletproof and risking all those around by thinking the same thing

I double checked my covid stash and it does say fruit punch on it. But to me it will always be red flavor. Like pink lemonade
