At Ironman, I drank liters and liters of the stuff... it was my main source of calories on race day. It burned my mouth by the end, but I never strayed, gulping down two cups of their wonderful sugar water at each aid station right to the end...
Yay, Gatorade!
So imagine my dismay when I opened their new, improved, can of Gatorade powder.

But wait... where's the scoop?
There must be some mistake, Gatorade powder comes with a scoop! I search, no scoop.
Confused, I look at the can. "2 ROUNDED TEASPOONS"!??? What is THAT!? How "rounded" is rounded? Big pile, little pile? And where's my damn scoop?
I rush to the garage and rifle through my blue bin. Hurray, an "original" Gatorade container, and there it is - my scoop! I wash it, stroke it gently, and measure. Oh, the sweet accuracy of the scoop, how I almost missed thee!
I feel sorry for new Gatorade customers, trying to guess their way through life... but I am whole again.
