A Definitive Ranking Of The Best (And Worst) Gatorade Flavors

While the color of this one is no-doubt gorgeous, the flavor isn't so much. Granted, when it comes to grape flavor, people either love it or hate it. Still, for being a "Fierce" offering, it noticeably lacks intensity. However, if you are pro-grape and enjoy a slightly medicinal flavor, you'll like this. As one reviewer put, "either you like grape flavored drinks, or you don't. This is a grape flavored drink, so use your own discretion."

This Strawberry Lemonade flavor is "VERY sweet"and has "very little strawberry" flavor, say internet reviewers. Womp, womp. Pro tip: a few people say the G2 version of this flavor is better.

Arctic Blitz definitely divides people. Some reviewers love the "light watermelon mixed with honeydew flavor," while others say it lacks the sweetness of other Gatorade flavors and has "a weird chemically taste."

For a lot of people, this flavor brings back memories of soccer practices and trips to the nurse's office for stomach aches. There's definitely a tinge of cough syrupy-ness that isn't for everyone. "I thought I would love this flavor, but I just couldn't get used to it," one reviewer said. "Cherries aren't blue and I'm not sure what flavors they mixed to make 'blue cherry' but it's terrible... in my opinion."

The internet is pretty quiet about this one. People don't hate it, but it certainly doesn't have thousands of rave reviews or a huge following. That might be because some "can’t find it in stores." The people who do love it say it's "refreshing, not too sweet, and reminiscent of "a slightly saltier version of a Fresca that has been decarbonated." Color us intrigued!

The internet has some serious thoughts about this flavor. You'll finds tons of memes making fun of its supposed awful flavor. It does have a cult following of diehard fans, though, including Delish video editor Ellie Black. "It's the thinking man’s Gatorade," they said, adding that it's sometimes hard to find on shelves. "Smooth, complex, sophisticated. Its rarity makes it a delicacy."

"Did you ever wonder what it would be like to drink a green apple Jolly Rancher candy?" one reviewer wrote. "Well, now you can!" If you love that sort of intense apple flavor, this Gatorade will be for you. For others, it'll probably just taste like "strange in a drink."

It's a bit of a mystery as to what this one tastes like—for most people it's some kind of blue-ish berry mixture with a slight bitterness to it. Maybe that's why this reviewer replaced her morning Joe with it. "I stopped drinking coffee, needed a little pick me upper in the morning, and this drink is it. It gives me just enough sugar to wake me up in the morning and get me through the day."

"Cool Blue has a refreshing smoothness to it that I could only compare to what I assume the fresh-flowing mountain stream water from a tropical alien planet must taste like," Delish's senior post-production supervisor, Philip Swift said. If that doesn't make you want to try it, I don't know what will.

Besides having quite possibly the most badass Gatorade name of all time, this bottle delivers in the taste department. Super fruity with a hint of grape without being overpowering, it's a clear favorite. "You drink Gatorade to feel superhuman," Delish's senior food producer June Xie said. "And what makes you feel more godly than drinking periwinkle elixir?"

Let's get one thing out of the way: Its name is super boring. "Orange." Like, what? That's all you've got? It's nonetheless a beloved classic. "It reminds me of my childhood since it’s the one that my mother used to buy," Delish's senior designer Sarah Ceniceros said. "I buy them in bulk now because they’re my pre-hangover remedy."

From its more than 4,000 reviews, 90 percent of which are five stars, it's very clear that people love this flavor. It's classic and nostalgic, very refreshing, and versatile. Swift has some genius advice on how to drink it: "Spice things up on a Friday night by mixing it with coconut rum!"

If you bottled sunshine, it would taste like this. It's sweet and a little salty, but in the best way possible. "It's like salt on lemons," one reviewer wrote. This stuff is exactly what you want to chug after finishing a marathon or waking up with a headache.
