Ok what am I doing wrong?

OK... thanks skibum. I go to bed a little wiser today - I love trivia and I am sure knowing that Gatorade was developed for the Uni of Florida Gators will stand me in good stead to surprise someone here one day

I honestly thought it was a cordial drink (like raro or refresh... if you have those half a world from here)

Raro or Refresh? Nope, never heard of them here on the other side of the pond. To me, a "cordial" is a liquer (not sure how to spell that!) like Amaretto or B&B (i.e., very high-sugar alcoholic beverage). Definitely not something to drink from one's water bottle on a ride!

LOL
So funny

Cordial here is def not anything remotely alchoholic... its a synthetic juice --- usually in concentrate form as a syrup or powder

So it comes in orange, raspberry, lime, pineapple etc etc and you just add water and drink - a nice combo of sugar, flavouring and water, but def no alchohol

Isn't language amazing? We both speak English but it doesn't mean we're gonna understand each other
