MOstly, I wanted the electrolites.

My Gatorade story and the only one goes back to the hot Chicago

Gatorade was invented at my alma-mater, and I believe that they still receive some royalty payments.

OTOH, I try to avoid Pepsico products, as well as restaurants that are tied-houses to Pepsi (YUM brands like Taco Bell, KFC, Habit). I try to support the Pepsico boycott that began on December 6 1972.

I prefer to drop two Nuun Sport tablets into by water bottle <https:// nuunlife.com/products/nuun-sport>.

I'm thinking your attempt to penalize Pepsico for signing a marketing
deal with the Soviet Union might be a bit misplaced 55 years and two
regime changes hence.....

I'm thinking that you;'re quite right since Russia no longer has a Communist government but instead a capalaist socialism as Stephen has been trying to get here in the USA.
