Considering I can't even identify the flavor by the label, I'm gonna say, no, probably not.

Certain ones, sure. The cucumber lime one is pretty distinctive, for example.
And frost, because it’s the only one I like. If I like it, it’s frost.
Same with green apple
For a lot of them, yes.
However: There are some flavours that taste identical but come in different colors. Particularly the various shades of blue. At least 3 of them taste exactly like orange juice.
Red, white, orange, yellow, purple, and green all taste unique. Fruit punch, cherry, weird af orange, lemonade, grape (white or red depending on how deep the purple is), and granny smith apple.
I always found it weird that they have blue ones that taste like actual OJ, but the orange gatorade tastes like Tang or something orange flavoured but not actual OJ.
I can easily differentiate between that frost light blue one and the normal darker blue
Oh that reminded me they also have a "blue cherry" flavor which is the same flavor as the white, but it's blue. I accidentally got both white and blue cherry once, not realizing I got blue cherry (thought it was just the default blue that tastes like OJ) and was annoyed that I just got two of the same thing.
Probably not. I only associate them with colors. Red is for health, blue is for mana, green is stamina.
Is there a green gatorade?
Yes it’s cucumber flavored
There's also green apple
I think of that milky white one as stamina, ala Diablo 2... frost cherry i think its called.
Game UI convention seems to have settled on green for stamina. Skyrim, Zelda, Dark Souls, Tunic etc. There’s a YT video examining why mana is blue and the same reasons apply here I think. It’s basic color theory. Red was already taken as the obvious choice for HP since it’s the color of blood. Blue contrasts with red and green stands out from the other two.
As for Gatorade, the white one gives you frost damage reduction. Same with orange for fire and yellow for lightning.
There was a flavor of Powerade back in the 90s called jagged ice that was really dark blue. I loved it and wish it were still around. Maybe it gives you underwater breathing.
I’d be confident in the traditional 3 most common, fruit punch red, lemon-lime yellow, and orange.
I've never tasted gatorade, so it'd definitely be a wild stab in the dark. Be intresting to test though!
To answer your question, no.
Lets see there is: bad, overly sweet, not good, yuck, why am i drinking this, and purple. What do I win again?
I can identify Cool Blue. Despite being blue, it tastes like orange juice. Never heard a good reason why their orange flavour is blue. The actual orange one tastes like orange as well but it's different.
No
Nope. I've only drunk two Gatorades, both blue. The first one convinced me I prefer coke, the second one was when I had gastric flu, hadn't eaten in three days and badly needed to replace some electrolites. I was a rosebush at that point, if my memory is reliable.
Never tried it in my life. Pretty sure you can get it here in the UK, but most of those style drinks (monster etc) look so artificial that my own innate cowardice keeps me away.
That said, I barely drink soda since the sugar tax, as all the soft drinks now have sweeteners that I taste as bitter - even my national drink (Irn-Bru) has been ruined.
So, with that in mind I'd probably be keen to try US Gatorade, as I'm guessing it's loaded with sugary goodness
I used to do this with Skittles but I imagine that's a whole 'nother kettle of fish
Some of them yeah. Axtually probably most of them, as long as they're not the sugar free ones, those all taste like fake sugar.
Easily.
This ones Yak piss yellow, this one's Ballsweat Blue, and yup that's Salty Rash Red.
Not if the pool is all of the colors. I haven't even had all of them before.

There are some that I could distinguish from the others.
The white one. I drank a lot of that ages ago, and I have some specific sounds, smells, and other senses associated with it. I'm sure if I tasted it, a lot of specific memories would immediately trigger.
I can sort of recall the different tastes in my mind but I think actually tasting different ones would throw me off.
Only original, tropical, and blue razz.
Yes I think so at least the flavors I grew up with
