Piggybacking off recent post by @hypie for those that missed out or who don't like having their pancreas assaulted quite so violently…
Slightly cheaper than the usual Amazon S&S sale price.
Currently an additional 15% off button which comes of S&S pricing.
Works out to be $1.50 per bottle.
CamelCamelCamel.
Cheers OP. $18 it is.
Summer Cricket Hydration Sorted. Thanks OP.
Does it contain other sweeteners?
yes, aspartame last time i checked :/
I always wonder what the point of this is, i'd drink gatorade/powerade for the electrolytes and salts, this would just have salts?
… what are you thinking electrolytes are?
Sorry you're right meant sugar and salts ;).
dude, I ran a marathon and one of the supporters had a 2L bottle of Pepsi max and giving us runners of it. I still drank it but thinking this has no energy.
@twotwotwo: I guess you might get a pick up from the caffeine?
But yeah, there was a year when Powerade gave out sugar free sports drinks at a half ironman as the "sugar" option. People were not impressed and fell like flies, luckily they had coke as an emergency backup.
@Drakesy: This formula is more suited for 1-2 hour sessions when you're sweating but not working hard/long enough to deplete your glycogen stores. Stuff like playing sports, shorter runs, intense gym sessions, stuff in hot conditions.
For really intensive stuff like an ironman, yeah, the sugar option would probably help more. But sugar free sports drinks are better than nothing. You might not get an energy boost, but at least you're not putting yourself at risk of dying from hyponatremia like some marathon runners have.
@sinusoid: But on the contrary wouldn't you also not be at risk of depleting your salt/electrolyte levels within 1-2 hours?
@Drakesy: That could very well be true, depending on what you're doing. Basically, the more you sweat, the more water and electrolytes you need to replenish.
It's what plants crave
To answer your question, I use LMNT (similar to this) as it basically eliminates cramping. Besides people following a keto diet, this is useful for ppl that sweat heaps but don’t need the energy spike that sugar would bring
For those wanting bigger 1L bottles, this 6x1 is also a good price $16.2 SS, which is 10% cheaper in per L price.
OPs is actually cheaper after additional 15% off
1L: $16.20/6L = $2.70/L
600ml: $18/7.2L = $2.5/L
My bad, was not calculating the sale price.
By volume there is a difference, but one is sugar and the OP no sugar, so not the same product.
I opted for the sugar.
has the check box gone I can't see it
Cant see the 15% off either
Need to select S&S and go through to checkout.
@docc my first mention on Ozbargain. :')
First of many after your post I hope. Great community here helping me live my champagne life on a beer budget!
How do these compare to hydralite?
75% less sugar and 4x more electrolytes according to hydralyte.
What about to Aldi ones?
Presumably these have 100% less sugar than hydralyte, being a no sugar prroduct.
The continual problem with a lot of these drink deals from Amazon is the short use by date of them, from Gatorades to Powerades to the soft drinks, in my experience they are all shorter use by dates than buying the equivalent product from say a Coles or Woolworths. This is my experience and I am suspect of it.
In my experience that is sometimes a very fair call! Though with 3 kids I’d be lucky to make them last a week. Sometimes we’ve had very long expiry dates.
June 2024 on the last batch of Gatorade No Sugar I bought from Amazon in Nov 2023, so as long as you're drinking 2 each month, you should be fine.
I bought these orange no sugar two weeks ago and it's still June 2024
As I posted in the other deal, this is way better value

How's this compare to the aldi one in price?
Not to detract from OP, and I'm not sure if I'm making an obvious comment, but $24 is the usual sale price for this - Amazon appears to be matching the cheapest of Coles/Woolies on a lot of pantry products, and since they alternate weekly specials where $2ea tends to be lowest, expect to see these 12 packs for $24 about every 2-3 weeks.
The point was an extra coupon 15% off your correct statement above with S+S. $18 for 12 is a bargain…0
Haha completely missed the point of the post.
haha except you're wrong.
The original post was the $24/$18 price. The 15% was edited in after top comment.
Don't forget the 15% off coupon checkbox
https://amzn.asia/d/cvSSjUk is cheaper per until pricing, but got deadly sugar.
Also Gatorade Lemon Lime Sports Drink, 6 x 1L https://amzn.asia/d/6i4VPLl
