Hmmmm ... very interesting. But the thing is ... I can drink Gatorade on its own just fine (for a while - I get sick of it pretty quickly - the flavor gets icky) ... and I can eat energy bars just fine (longer than I can drink Gatorade) ... but the
combination of the two is HORRIBLE!! Very nasty experience.
But I don't have the same experience with HEED and energy bars. Maybe its an ingredient in the Gatorade.
