As a young kid I would go out into the wooded area behind my house and collect leaves and twigs and berries in a red solo cup, get water from the garden hose, mash up the stuff in the cup, and give it to my mother saying "I made you a milkshake!" I remember she would act so happy and say thank you and pretend to drink it, so for a little while I thought I was the best chef ever. Parents are awesome, lol

There is something very sweet about "this was my kid's idea" videos that I always like. Chaotic and yet very wholesome.

Emmy’s reactions have me howling “no” “ooh no” “oh! …no” “wow, no” “it tastes… not good” 😂😂😂

In the days before Pedialite and sports drinks, my dad, who was a pediatrician, always shared a recipe with his patients' parents for when their children had "the runs" to help them stay hydrated. He'd tell them to boil a quart of water, add a tablespoon of sugar and a teaspoon of salt, and keep it in the refrigerator. I did the same when my children were little, and have given them the recipe for their families. I've also read that the recipe is an inexpensive treatment used in places where cholera is a problem.

Sports drinks are expensive. It's expected.

This is interesting to me because I actually work as a professional taste tester at a company that manufactures sports drinks, among other things. Actually, it's the division of a major food company, that does all their medical nutrition products. Believe it or not, that's actually a job that you can get. The food scientists use the information they collect from us to help figure out how to change recipes for products. We have to make a list of all the different flavors we taste in a product. Then once they have that list, we go through one by one and assign a number rating to how intense each flavor is. We mainly do gummy vitamins, Boost/Ensure type nutritional drinks, and hydration drinks. Sometimes we do have to taste weird things like baby formula or feeding tube formula.

And I truly think they are bad for you. A lot of them destroy your gut. I would rather have plain old sugar, honey, or fruit sugars. Especially with a sports drinks since electrolytes and sugar for energy is what is needed. The chemical sweetners don't add energy for you to burn. At least with sugar it is quick energy as well as adding to the flavor.

in the vein of calling mixed drinks “swamp water” and the like my vote is to call this mixed drink a “cambrian explosion”. it looks like primordial ocean water and would probably beget millions of strange and abnormal lifeforms if left alone too long LMAO

This makes me miss the sour melon Powerade that was my favorite when I was little.

My go to combo back in elementary school was torn up chicken nuggets, corn and ketchup mixed together and then eaten with a spork

Yep, also old enough to remember that the selection was once very limited, kinda surprised by how many options exist today. My favorite was All Sport, but that brand didn't make it.

When I worked at a grocery store, those 3 (red, orange, and lemon-lime) were the least like flavors in our area, especially that lemon-lime! The Gatorade would come on a giant pallet and the bottom 2 layers would inevitably be only lemon lime

I think this is my favorite channel on KZread (and there are a few top contenders). I hope Emmy never stops making videos!

Another "Back in my day" story. During my unproductive weekends in the military. My buddies and I would bar hop. One of the things we would do is ask the bartenders for "dirty dishwater".

I'm diabetic and experience has taught that the only artificial sweetener without any real aftertaste is sucralose. That being said, sucralose is overpoweringly sweet whenever it's used, like liquid dextrose tablets. You can counter it to a point with acidity, but then your drink tastes like sour gummy candy (with the advertised flavor, but still). Honestly, the best combo I've found for when I'm craving a sweet drink is a soda that is part fruit juice (with the sugar but also acidity that entails), part sucralose, part stevia or acesulfame potassium. It's not sugar free, but it's low enough that one glass won't put me in the rollercoaster version of reality.

as someone who's drank all of these drinks and many of them mixed together... my stomach hurts just looking at this

Now this is some safiya nygaard type content I never thought I’d see from emmy 😭😭

Here in the UK, the original drink from way back when, was called Lucozade and was made with glucose and came in a glass bottle. You can still buy it but of course it’s nowhere near what it used to taste like and comes in the usual plastic bottle. Nothing is ever the same!

The cucumber lime Gatorade is my favorite! You can try Nuun or Tailwind for less sweet options. I don’t think they’re sold at regular grocery stores though. Maybe REI

I loved this! Reminds me of Safiya and her franken series. Hope the kids enjoyed it!

8:15 lol Glowberry Prime it is only the label that glows in the dark similar to Cherry Freeze Prime where the label changes from white/pink to blue/pink when cold

My favorite Slush Puppy as a kid was always the one with every syrup flavor mixed together and an extra pump of sour essence.

When my BF was in the Coast Guard, one of the things they used to do to freak out new recruits was to "go out for mixed drinks." They'd hit the local Burger King and put some of each drink in the fountain into their cups and drink it. It didn't taste very good, but they felt it was worth the laugh.

Hey Emmy, I like this video. How about a video where you combine and taste the same/similar flavors of the sports drinks left. To see how those taste. Your boys are very clever...

Me and my brothers would visit my grandparents, and they would take us to 7-11 for slurpees, and we would get the biggest cup and fill it with every flavor. We called it 'Swamp Water'.

How very . George's marvellous medicine! I'm reading the book to my son at the minute. I reckon your boys would love it!

I only ever grab a yellow Gatorade when I’m sick, and a pedialyte (or a dupe) when I’m hungover.

my first thought was: next time on chubbyemu channel: "this woman mixed 100 sports drinks into one drink, this is what happened to her kidneys" xD

Tried prime my first time 2 weeks ago the Limon lime and just day before Easter 2024 I got popsicle like flavor i like both of them a lot. Prime is my favorite so far.

My favorite is the Cucumber Lime Gatorade. The tiny Supermercado in my city is usually the only place I can find it.

Emmy, you are definitely a "good sport" for trying all that !

for a second it thought i read "i drank 100 energy drinks" and i was like oh no

Immediately brought up memories of my late brother who would eat catfood straight out of the can, just to try and make me gross out

This was a really fun video. It reminded me of Safiya Nygaard's makeup and candle experiments. Viscosity.

The only time I’ve drunk energy drinks in the past 30 years was to prep for my colonoscopy. It was a challenge finding varieties without food coloring. I still watched this whole video. 😂

Happy Easter 🐰🐣

Okay. Reading this title reminds me of always looking at the milk bucket in elementary school. Kids would dump anything they didnt finish drinking in there and with a couple different flavors it always made ya wonder 😂

For me, growing up, the only sports-type drink we had was Lucozade. At the time there was only the original flavour (glucose-y) and orange flavour. I also remember being given it when I was sick, to rehydrate, but I swear some people thought it had true medicinal properties! 😂

I love Lemon Perfect! It's so good! ❤️ ❤️
