Iceman, it is leaps above Gatorade.  It brings hydration to a whole new level and it tastes better in my opinion.

Not positive, but I believe it has higher electrolytes and less sugars in it.

Thanks guys.

Where is a good place to get NUNN on the westside?

A lot of good information here.  Thanks everyone.  Funny, I just emptied out my turkey bag today and ran across my "emergency food".  My old gorp wasn't looking so good so it became chicken food tonight.  Also noticed that the expiration date on my power bars was 07. 

Reading these posts made me think of my boy scout hikes 30 years ago.  Even back then chili mac had a bad rap.

I couldn't cut and paste the Gatorade info, but for comparison's sake it has 110 mg Sodium and 30 mg Potassium in an 8 oz serving.  Also anywhere from 5 to 12 g of sugar in that serving.  Gatorade doesn't list the B/C vitamins on the label, so they obviously aren't there.
