\"\"<\/p>\n

Just in time for summer sweat season, Powerade has introduced three flavors in its new Sour line: Blue Razz, Watermelon Lime, and Green Apple.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s get this out of the way first: we all know they should have called it Sourade.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Blue Razz is my favorite of the three. It reminds me of a blue Sour Patch Kid, but not as sour. At first, I was underwhelmed by the sourness. But after going on a six-mile evening run, I found that I couldn\u2019t chug this drink because my mouth wanted to pucker just a little bit and savor the tartness. It\u2019s not like a Warhead or Cry Baby bubble gum; rather, it has just enough of a punch to notice the sourness.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Watermelon Lime is the most confusing of the three. I have never heard of those fruits paired together before, yet it manages not to taste like either. Yes, I know that watermelon flavor doesn\u2019t actually taste like watermelon, but I do know what watermelon candy tastes like. If I concentrate really hard, I can kind of taste watermelon candy, but not the lime. In a blind taste test, there is no way I would guess either of the flavors. It is also less sour than the others.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Green Apple has the same sour level as Blue Razz. It has a nice fake apple flavor. However, I love Gatorade Fierce Green Apple, and the Powerade just seems less, well, fierce. It\u2019s not as flavorful, and I don\u2019t think it\u2019s any more sour.<\/p>\n

I usually drink powdered Gatorade to replenish my electrolytes after a long, sweaty workout. Powerade Sour is not going to do anything to change that. But if you are even casually interested in Powerade, these flavors are worth a try.<\/p>\n
