Gatorade and the Goonies

Two weeks ago, I had Gatorade for the first time. As strange as this is it is even stranger since I was one of six kids who all played sports. The other day I was on the phone telling my sister Rachel and the conversation went something like this:

Rachel: How are you feeling?
KT: Better, drinking alot of Gatorade. Do you know that I had never had Gatorade before two weeks ago?
Rachel: WHAT?!?!?!?!?
KT: Yep, and now I have had two flavors
Rachel: How old are you?
KT: 33
Rachel: How does one go 33 years without having Gatorade?
KT: I dunno
**At this point Rachel's co worker overhears this**
Coworker: Thats a lie!
Rachel: Laughs and says my coworker says your lying
Coworker to Rachel: Has she ever seen the Goonies?
Rachel: Have you ever seen the Goonies?
KT: No
Rachel: Laughs and then defends the fact that the Goonies wasn't something we watched growing up but she has since seen it at least 7 times.

So, I now have had Strawberrry and some blue Berry flavored Gatorade, neither were bad. I am not willing to try that original "yellow" or the orange flavored.

I can't believe you haven't had Gatorade before! Clearly you have never had a hangover! I like the fruit punch flavor. I don't drink it much though.

I like fruit punch and lemon lime...I am baffled that you're new to Gatorade. I honestly don't think I've ever seen the Goonies either...

Kim, all the years we played softball and no gatorade? I am appauled at this! Gatorade is the BEST ever. And I have to pressure you and tell you that the original yellow flavor is the BEST (second best actually, because fruit punch is a tad better). Trust me, you will love it! GO TRY IT!!! And I must also demand that you rent the goonies. It is by far, one of the best classics of all time! Baaaaaaaaaby Ruuuuuuuuuuth! (You will know what this means if you watch it!)

How have you grown up in California and not ever watched The Goonies? I thought that was a rule if you are to live in Cali???

Kim, #1 Fruit Punch #2 Grape. You need to try these two flavors your life will never be the same. The Goonies thing can be solved after the baby is born

Kim, what did you do growing up?

Ann said...

Glad you found Gatorade! My favorite is fruit punch! Glad you're feeling better, too.

Goonies contains one of the Cori's. Cori Feldman I believe. And as we all know Kim will not watch a movie with a Cori in it, as evidence by the fact that she won't watch lost boys (Which she owns)But contains both Cori's. Goonies is a classic. You like gatoraid now give the Cori's a chance you may like them also.

Did you at least see License to Drive. That was a good Cori's movie also.

Stand By Me had a Cori.

Jenn- never seen the goonies, wow! I saw it probably about 10 years ago. What a great movie! You are missing out- as are you Kim.

If Kim wasn't my sister- I would have thought she was lying also about the Gatorade. I personally love the Melon flavor.

Riptide Rush is my favorite and I also like the Melon flavor.

Gatorade is VERY addicting... you may be strong in your offense to OG Gatorade. But it will lure you. Trust me.

Kim,

So many different flavors, and you have only tried a couple.

Expand your horizons, try a few more.

David said...

Could someone please tell me what Gatorade has to do with the Goonies?

Jane said...

The only thing better than this story is hearing Kim repeat it live!
