[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was my first time trying the new Gatorade flavor pod. I wasn’t a fan of the grape flavor because it was too sweet and taste like grape medicine. But I may consider trying their other flavors. * I did receive this complimentary.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I loved the idea and simplicity of a pod system. It makes for easy transport and my bag is much lighter since I'm not carrying liquid with me and can fill up at work or the gym. The pods are tasty and you definitely get the Gatorade flavor. My only concern is the bottle is a bit flimsy. The second time I used it, the top came off completely and I had a hard time getting it back in place due to the pliable nature of the plastic. I almost gave up but finally managed to snap it back into place, unfortunately it happens every time I use it now. I was so hoping for this to be an answer to making my bag lighter but it's not due to the unreliablility of the bottle. Otherwise the idea is terrific but a sturdier bottle would make this great.

My son begged for this water bottle as it is easier to drink without having to remove his helmet in lacrosse. I did get it and the second time he used it, it dropped. All it took was one drop and now the silicone seal inside the spout is gone somehow. Now it can't be used if he needs to travel with it at all because it will leak from the nozzle. It would be great if I could just buy a replacement cap but that doesn't seem to be an option anywhere.

My Gx bottle and all my friend's Gx bottles are great and then break after a couple months. It works great but when it is broken it does not squirt and it leaks. The pods taste ok but I would just recommend buying a Gatorade bottle weather than the pod.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was super excited to be chosen to review the gx water bottle AND to have received the grape flavored pods! It was fun to use, but I had to look up a tutorial online on how to use the pods since the instructions were unclear. The flavor is absolutely delicious and the water bottle is super cool and doesn’t leak!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love this water bottle. I have used their standard green ones in the past but I love the sleekness of this one. The black part has a grip to it so you don’t feel like it will slip out of your hand if it gets condensation on it. I also love the top for the Gatorade pods!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m not a huge sports player, so I understand why these are squeeze bottles, but I definitely prefer a straw. The bottle is great and works as one would suspect. It’s specifically designed for the pods, but can be used without. Also love the textured gripping. And a great size for a workout. Not too small or too big!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] A great bottle to have with you while working out. Simple to use while running and not needing to take off a cover or anything while in a workout! This is my absolute favorite water bottle and won't use anything else.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like the idea of using less single-use plastic and this seems to be addressing that. Also, the idea of not shipping water also greatly reduces the carbon footprint. The water bottle itself is easy to use with or without the pods. The shape/style means it fits into my water bottle holder on my bike which I love. I also like being able to dial in my flavor as I prefer a more diluted mix. Overall a really great option for people who like Gatorade.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been drinking Gatorade since it first became available commercially. I wanted to try this because it was a cool, impressive bottle. People see you using it and they want to know where you got it. My only complaint is the poor directions on how to use it. As a senior citizen, sometimes things are a little more difficult to figure it out. The pods have a label on top, the area that you press down to release the liquid. No where in the instructions did it say remove the label before attempting to dispense. My first try to dispense the liquid I didn't remove the label and it took great effort to puncture the seal. My second attempt I removed the label first and it took much less effort to penetrate. The bottle itself is easy to drink from. It has a nice, non-slip grip. Provide better instructions on how to dispense the liquid and I will give 5 stars.
