On the Gatorade G2 issue...I travel all over the country because of my Job (Including Alaska). It is part of my normal routine after landing to get some drinks because I don't like Water and I don't like paying hotel chains $4 for a drink I could buy elsewhere for a buck. In the past, I always first looked for Vitamin Water, but they are very hard to find - CVS stores are a hit and miss, and Wal-mart usually has it less than 10% of the time. So my fallback was Gatorade G2, but as of lately, that is almost nonexistent in CVSs and Walmarts. I am convinced that vast areas of the country simply do not like low calorie beverages.

In a pinch, I will buy half liter spring water (No purified for me, can't stand the reverse-osmosis taste) and dump in crystal light or hawaiian punch packets. They aren't particularly tasty because they do not really dissolve, but it beats a full sugar replacement.

I haven't traveled yet for work after my surgery, but I'm already forming plans. Like it or not, I think crystal light is going to be on the menu.
