Watermelon Strawberry leans more towards strawberry than watermelon, and that strawberry flavor reminds me of candy. The former has a pleasant strong mango flavor with a pineapple kick. Their flavors mirror what I remember from their BOLT24 counterparts. Tropical Mango and Watermelon Strawberry stood out to me among the four varieties. With every flavor, I thought to myself that I had this before. If you’ve chugged the various colors of the Gatorade rainbow during your lifetime, you’ll be familiar with these four. Well, the short answer is they taste like Gatorade. The line is available in 16.9- and 28-ounce bottles. But I was only able to acquire the first four via a variety pack sold on Amazon.

Well, it has no added sugar, no artificial sweeteners or flavors, no added colors, has only ten calories and one gram of sugar, and is an excellent source of vitamins A & C.
