Feeling a bit nostalgic tonight . . .

1. Eric - 05/05/2003 7:31 am CDT

I'm asking for the color of the liquid inside the bottle.

. . .

13. Jared - 05/05/2003 12:24 pm CDT

Is this some sort of trick question? When you write "What color is this?" are you really asking what color the word "this" is? If so, I change my answer to blue.
;-)

14. Jared - 05/05/2003 12:56 pm CDT

Okay, now I'm reviewing the comments and see you say "The liquid inside the bottle."
So, I guess my answer is green again.
UNLESS
That is still a trick and you want the color of the words "the liquid inside the bottle." In which case my answer is black.
So my answers are green, blue, and black. To cover my bases.
Am I overthinking this?
Am I obsessing?
PLEASE TELL ME WHAT THIS MEANS?!!!

Serenity Now!

15. Bill - 05/05/2003 1:37 pm CDT

I'll tell you what this means. Bird is toying with us. That's what it means. After he has collected 40 comments or so he's going to reply "The liquid is green",

He is evil.

16. Eric - 05/05/2003 1:52 pm CDT

Ok, here's the deal. My theory was that chicks usually see the lemon/lime gatorade as yellow, and guys see it as green.

I think it's green, totally green.

Brandi swears it's yellow.

I remember Danielle (the wife of Blofoot) said it was yellow, and Blo said it was green.

At first, your responses intriqued me because Becky said it was Yellow and Rod said green.

I think it's green.

17. Eric - 05/05/2003 3:43 pm CDT

Brandi claims the only color ingredient in lemon/lime gatorade is Yellow 5. Forget that, I don't care, it's still green.

Here's proof: My son, Nathan, without prompting one day called it "green juice." Now whenever I bring some home he asks for "some green juice, please."

I guess my theory on chicks thinking it's yellow is off since Sha (who is not a chick) called it yellow. What's up with that, Sha?

18. Bill - 05/05/2003 3:52 pm CDT

But Sha's the only one. Not statistically significant. Your point still holds up.

Too bad Blo didn't weigh in. We could see what color mythical creatures thing Gatorade is

19. Jared - 05/05/2003 4:33 pm CDT

Dude, it IS green.
Becky says, "Yeah, like men know anything about color." Then she adds, "It's probably more like chartreuse."
Man! Chicks.

20. Jared - 05/05/2003 4:39 pm CDT

May I summarize the results?

The Gatorade is green.
Chicks are, generally, mistaken.
Eric is evil.
Sha is a chick.

21. Eric - 05/06/2003 4:07 am CDT

Rod, I hear you! I can't believe that anyone (chick or not) would look at that bottle and say it's yellow. It's green! Sure, it's a lighter shade of green but it's still green!

22. Bill - 05/06/2003 4:13 am CDT

My wife wasn't so sure this morning. warning: sexist generalization coming: but have you noticed that chicks can never just call something "Green" or "Blue" or whatever? It's always gotta be "eggshell" or "goldenrod" or "chartreuse" [sic].

23. Jared - 05/06/2003 5:32 am CDT

I just asked Macy what color the Gatorade was. She said "yeyo."
Chicks!

24. Eric - 05/06/2003 5:33 am CDT

That proves my theory! Chicks think it's yellow and guys see it as green, it's true color!

And on it went . . . Man! Those were the days . . .

lemon= yellow
lime= green
so the color is yellgree
They make the stuff in Pryor I may just have to road trip it to ask the folks who make it what the stupid color is. When I called the company and e mail them they said yellow green.

2. mopsy - 09/28/2007 8:57 am CDT

It's 10% more yellow than green. It's a hideous color, BTW---any way you look at it.

3. Why Not - 09/28/2007 9:02 am CDT

De, has anyone tallied up the votes for green vs yellow in the previous comments on this? Maybe you can declare a winner by the votes.

4. Oloryn - 09/28/2007 10:36 am CDT

Just goes to show that "it's not easy being green".

5. Bird - 09/28/2007 5:31 pm CDT

Those were the days ...

6. Bird - 09/28/2007 5:39 pm CDT

That Eric dude was cool. I wonder where he went off to?

7. Roy - 09/28/2007 6:55 pm CDT

Never commented on the original thread.

But why would anyone care? Its nothing more than bottled sweat. They put the OK U football players over a tray and heat the room. Then they add some food coloring. Then they sell it to the washed.

I won't touch the stuff. Plain ol' water is better. Except for rare cases of hyperathletes in serious dehydration. And Mt Dew is much tastier. What I get after an hour's run: water and Dew. The later, btw, is slighltly yellow, with a hint of green....

8. Alan - 09/28/2007 9:25 pm CDT

Haterade, anyone?

9. Bird - 09/28/2007 11:12 pm CDT

Don't hate, congratulate.

10. Lauren - 09/28/2007 11:59 pm CDT

a post about comments...shouldn't comments be about posts? haha. go green!

I thought gatorade came from florida?

11. Milly - 09/29/2007 4:32 am CDT

Wouldn't the Ok aid be crimson?
And I guess the orange aid would come from OSU.
and Go Pokes!

Were is Roy from?

12. Roy - 09/29/2007 3:06 pm CDT

OK lahoma

They may wear crimson and cream, but that's not what they sweat....

Haterade is correct. Yuch. Gimme a Dew. And junk food. That gets my electrolytes back in balance.

My younger daughter roots for the Pokes, 2, Milly.
