Gatorade Rocker
So I emailed Gatorade a few days ago while talking with Statk.
It was just an impulse. Funny one that is.
Allright, this doesnt apply to JUST the thirst Quencher, and other things... Gatorade, with all due respect, lacks the mily chocolate desert flavor. Me and my cohort were discussing this recently. In fact, right now. Yes, this is our conversation. So, there you go. Milky Chocolate Dessert flavor. Should this be a thicker product than usual Tube product Go-Gurt-esque. Now, I dont mean to mention Gogurt, so you dont like plagerize the design. But maybe that lightning bolt could be put to good use in that type of package. Lets be honest, Lemon-Lime sucks, I dont think ANYONE likes it. And you can quote me on that. I mean, sure Millions of peons buy this. BUT NOOOO, they never like it. its just all that they have in the stores. its all they got. Yes, I repeated that, a little repetition doesnt hurt. All egos and arrogance aside. The Milky Chocolate Dessert Flavor would rock. And I really like gatorade, just not Lemon-Lime. Other products pull it off like ten times better. Like Sprite Yeah, its better because its carbonated. Allright, Make The Milky Chocolate Dessert flavor Carbonated. Repulsed? Thats ridiculous, ever heard of chocolate soda-Ross D. Ellis Esquire-PS. Please respond seriously
Then a few days pass and Statk reminded me of the email. and I was so suprised to see they answered and so quickly too! So here it is.
