10 Boxes of Expired Gatorade
« on: September 18, 2012, 07:19:09 AM »
Alright, so I was helping my brother and my sister-in-law move out of their apartment a couple of months ago and wile I was there I ended up with 10 large boxes of Gatorade! My sister-in-law works for a company that has a sponsorship with Gatorade, hence why they had so much to throw away.

I run almost everyday, so this mass of rainbow fuel was much obliged! Now lets fast forward to present day and I'm almost half way through everything and I open a new box of Gatorade only to find this weird white sludge at the bottom of the bottle. I check the back of the bottle and find out it was produced in 2010 and expired in February of this year! I checked the shipping date on all the other boxes and they all show 2010.

I'm a little skeptical on whether this is safe to drink. I know I've already consumed a majority of the crap by now, but none of those other boxes had this white sludge at the bottom. 

Is there any expired liquid experts here? If it makes a difference the white junk goes away after shaking it :)

Hany, insistent, and with an air of authority, declares, "Respect the pouch. Crave the wave. Avoid the sludge."

THAT IS ALL.

I know I've had my fair share of experied products growing up that my pops would buy at discount and I'm still alive in mostly one piece :P . The white sludge doesn't sound good, should probably avoid drinking any with that in it. :S

It's not expired.  Food just has those for laws, and crap. 

Its f*cking salt water with sugar and shit in it.

The white sludge is likely just sugar that settled funny due to temperature changes, like KoolAid that was stirred by a gimp-armed 5 year old.

It's sealed, so I doubt it's moldy.

Shake one up, and chug it down.


If it's toxic, you'll just sweat it out anyways like the commercial, so who cares!

Like Arkhan said, there is no expiry on the stuff.  That date is just for government bullshit reasons and has to be on there.  They also put it on there as a "Best Before" date, not an expiration date so chumps will see the date, toss the stuff and buy new product.  It's the circle of life consumerism.

Shake it, and drink it.  It's fine.

Gatoraid has stuff that is found in the bellys of some sorta animals. Elderly people drink the damn stuff, as a lesser Koolade, but seriously, 2010? If it was 1990's Gataraid I would chuck it down, but my policy on anything after 20XX is pointless, I stick to that policy.

I was thinking something similar.
I'll give one a try later today. Hopefully I wont have to commit mass genocide on this box of Gatorade just over a little white gunk.

Gatorade bottles are shaped like fat cocks. Every time you put one to your lips, your puckering up for salty Kool Aid cock juice. Now you know what the white sludge really is at the bottom of the bottle.

If it had dairy products in it I would be worried. Otherwise drink up! The worst thing could happen is that you could get bowel issues and even then that's remote.

Throw it away and drink water.

Yes, "like from a toilet", water.

The water for da fishes$
Anyways, I drank one and it's perfectly fine after giving it a good shake and tasted perfectly okay. 
I guess the morale of the story is that a drink with white sludge at the bottom = fit for drinking.
