Good and bad are not useful labels, it prevents us from considering if something is useful, when it is, and how often, or what might be a more appropriate choice. (Nothing is good or bad in it of itself)
Gatorade is great for hydration – not just water, but also electrolytes (sodium, calcium, potassium) and sugar… so if people are severely sick, or have heat exhaustion, or are greatly exerting themselves, this is an essential tool.

@Bob the Internet is full of crap. You should not hang around here.
@stormy, great post. Yes, sometimes kids negotiation techniques teach us a lot.

Most things we (as a society) give our kids to drink – except perhaps milk and water – are not very good for them.
Our kiddo was recently pretty sick and wasn’t drinking enough water to keep hydrated but he was more than willing to drink gallons and gallons of gatorade.
Sometimes you have to go with the lesser of two evils.
(Random side note about Gatorade: when my dog was really sick with kidney disease, the vet actually recommended giving her Gatorade. She liked it as much as the 3yo now does.)

I wouldn’t give my kids gatorade in the first place, so they wouldn’t know what it was. That stuff’s full of crap.
