mall. So trending. Today's talkingGatorade. They've announced a new product.
And it's not a neoncolored thirst quencher. It is not an energy drink,
and it's not a protein shake.Ladies and gentlemen, I give you water,

(10:28):
that's right. The products called Gatoradewater. This is not a joke,
but trying to tap into the growingfunctional water category, which is water
with enhanced or fortified additional health benefits. Supposedly, Gatorade says it's an electrolyte
infused, unflavored alkaline water that's filteredwith a seven step process, and it

(10:52):
contains enhanced pH levels that reminds meof those old and remember the secret deodor
ennounced enough Roman but pH balance fora woman. All right, No time
to tangent, Trevor. Back tothe trending. They are already brands doing
this like he sentsion smart water,but Gatorade hopes to bring its mainstream with
the credibility and brand of their name. I'm still convinced all of these water

(11:18):
places, the enhanced water places,it can't tell the difference tasting that or
something out of the tap, ifit's cold, if it's the same temperature.
They're just turning on taps, fillingbottles, and then they men in
black zappy the employees when they leave, so they don't remember what they did
that day. But that's how they'regetting us. Just the theory. Speaking

(11:41):
of credibility, these fancy waters couldhave special benefits though, like improved all
the hydration, boosting your metabolism,and stuff like promoting weight loss, clearer
skin, or even being cancer fotting. But there's not a lot of sign
supporting or refuting those claims, soit might just be expensive water. Gatorade
