Just gonna pop in here to yell at the clouds. I hate the name "Liquid I.V." for a powdered sports drink. It's none of the things. It's a dry-ass powder that doesn't go in your veins. Fuck. And it's presumably meant to evoke the emergency dehydration scenario of world-class athletes dying on the sideline, hooked up to saline drips to keep their muscles from cramping inside-out. Everything about the branding is crap.

The product itself is fine though.

"Nothing gets my head back in the game like some Solid Oral." "I didn't believe the hype, but my teammate gave me Solid Oral and now I won't settle for less."

Sells itself, it's perfect.
