Kent, of his bike blog fame, got some free Accelerade to review. He was underwhelmed:
In theory you could make a carb+protein drink by taking something like a trout and running it through a blender with some orange juice. This would probably taste better than Accelerade.
…
I did try to come up with a scenario where I’d voluntarily choose to drink Accelerade and I think I’ve come up with it. I imagine a super hot day. I’ve just ridden the Issaquah Alps 100K loop four times without taking a drink. I stagger home, open the fridge and see two bottles. One contains Accelerade and one contains goat urine. In that instance, I would slam down the Accelerade.
I’d save the goat urine to wash the taste of Accelerade out of my mouth.

I’d drink a trout and OJ shake, if the trout was cleaned properly. I don’t want to have to pick trout skin out of my teeth.
