My son (3 yrs old) will not drink the Pedialyte, but he does like Gatorade. Personally, I can only drink the red flavor. I think the other colors are awful. For awhile last winter I had a hard time finding Gatorade in the stores. Many carried "Powerade" instead. It tasted pretty much like Gatorade.

BTW - in terms of an ok age to start Gatorade - My son's pediatrician told me to try it when he was about 1 1/2 and wouldn't go near the Pediatlyte.I guess she thinks it is ok for kids. I didn't see anything on the ingredients list (other than sugar) that would be n issue for little ones.

Thanks for the reminder about the medicine cabinet stock!
