Gatorade alternatives? Salt on a ride?

On long rides, I always stop for some potato chips. When I get home, I usually have a pickle spear or two. So far I've had no problems with diluted gatorade, but alot of people prefer other drinks.

The salt in the chocolate and latte Power Gels always helps me. I seem to do better on those gels than on the Shot Bloks. I'm really picky about flavor though, and the chocolate and latte are the only ones that I found that I like. The chocolate ones are really yummy if they're still cold.

I've actually never tasted Gatorade, so I have nothing to compare it to, but this stuff is pretty good. I just bought more. There's nothing bad in it, it tastes salty, but about what I thought this kind of drink should taste like.
