Powerade Vs Gatorade:battle of the beverages

Powerade and Gatorade have always seemed to be the two biggest sports drinks. I always have wondered which one is more popular and what is really the difference between the both. The difference between the two is very small; powerade has higher sugar content and lower sodium content than Gatorade. Gatorade uses normal glucose where as PowerAde uses the glucose, polymers which is absorbed into the body faster. Gatorade also has a high level of sodium which is twice the amount has powerade the Gatorade does a better job replenishing sodium when athletes work uo a lot of sweat but powerade does have more sugar. PowerAde has 8gmscampered to Gatorade that’s has 6. This may be better for runners that work up a sweat because they need that sugar rush in the middle of a run rather than obtaining more salt. Runners can always get salt from certain foods. Gatorade is considered one of the first sports drinks that are formulated to replenish electrolytes which are lost through the sweat during heavy exercises.

                These two sports drinks have always been in competition with each other and other drinks and have always been trying to be better than the other. The Pepsi company own Gatorade and the coca-cola company own poweredae. The goal of both the sports drinks is to offer the junior athlete what they think is cool, as well as to fulfill the traditional role of a sports drink: replace electrolytes and give the athletes carbohydrates. Both of the sports drinks are very competitive, but which one is more popular Gatorade has been everyone’s first choice lately .I’m not sure if it’s because of the advertisemts such as the star athletes drinking Gatorade and showing them sweat it out or is it the new flavors and the flashy lightning bolt through the G. It could also be the design of the bottle or the better colors. I do not really know if many people that buy the sport drinks even know the difference between the two. They could just be buying what’s the “cooler” one. Do more people buy Gatorade or powerade? And what makes them buy which one…. is it the flavors, taste or the advertisement?

Grocery Store Advertising

How often do you go into a supermarket and buy exactly what you need?

There are many times that I have walked into a supermarket and got more than that was on my grocery list. The main reason why is because of the advertising and where the products are placed. I do always fall for that scheme of grabbing some candy or just a pack of gum or magazine at the checkout counter. I have noticed that in most stores not just supermarkets magazine are always place right next to the check out. This is a great way to get customers to buy a magazine, what else will grab their attention when they are waiting in line. I find that when I’m waiting in line I grab a magazine start reading it and sometimes end up buying it because it becomes interesting to me. I have always noticed how the children’s cereal is always on the middle shelf. It is the perfect reach for your children, especially if they are in the carriage. It is eye level to them all they have to do is reach there arm out and put it I the carriage. I remember when I was younger It was a treat if I got Trix, or fruit by the foot and gushers. Walking down the aisle with all the fun treats was like walking into a candy store. Today a lot of times I will buy more than that was just on my grocery list is because I will see products on  sale or buy other things to eat that I haven’t thought of when I was  making my grocery list. The on thing I try to avoid doing when I do my shopping is never go to the grocery store hungry. When you’re hungry everything looks good and you will want to buy everything at the time. I have got myself doing this before and realized I had got way more than I need.
