Gayter Aide has been short here, part of it may be that sports at the pee-wee to high school levels are cranked back up, so everyone bought it all up created a run in the beginning, so now it's grab it when you see it mentality.

We keep the G-Zero around, no sugar, Costco sells a case for a decent price, Wal-Mart as well for the better prices.

I've seen folks, myself included get it right off the pallet when it comes into the aisle, otherwise you have 50 mom's who would run over you grabbing it all...

During hot weather (~10 months), I go through 2 or 3 bottles per week. With the exception of 1 week I was able to buy my 3 bottles. The week that was the exception every MSM news outlet was doing stories on shortages (i.e. the MF'ers caused it).

I always buy the Gatorade powder at Sam’s club to use in the summer when working around the farm. I didn’t realize there was a shortage but not surprised with current events.

I once grabbed a green bottle assuming it was lime. Opened it up and started drinking and almost spit it out. It was cucumber flavor Frown

When life gives you drinkable cucumber, throw in some gin and a dash of tonic.
