I love Gatorade.  And they're not even paying me to say this.

Gatorade, if you are reading this, feel free to contact me to set up some sponsorship.  I will be riding 4200+ miles across the United States and will gladly spread the word of your magical drink.

On my scouting ride alone, I drank:

24 and 20 ounces of powdered Gatorade mix from home

32 ounces at lunch

32 ounces at a gas station

two 24 ounces at a deli

I forget how much each bottle cost me but I'd say I spent a good $10+ on hydration.  $10 * 90 days = at least $900 in Gatorade.  Someone, get me sponsorship for this drink!

Oh my gosh - look at the size of this Gatorade I found at a grocery store!  What do you think?  Can I be a Price Is Right girl?
