All Sport

Yet another drink that nobody would touch with a ten foot pole.  In fact,  I doubt many people remember what All Sport is, or realize that it still exists.

All Sport is a sports drink that was created by Pepsi in 1993 to compete with Gatorade and Coke's PowerAde.  As we've already learned with Mello Yello, specifically creating a drink to compete with another company's drink is never a good idea.

Oh yeah, there's one more important thing: it was carbonated.  What kind of idiots make a sports drink that's carbonated?  Maybe people who like throwing up after physical activity?


I bet it's the same people who believe drinking Michelob Ultra after running is a good idea.  You can't even say they must have been drunk when they came up with that idea because no one could ever get drunk off Michelob Ultra.

I had the unfortunate experience of tasting All Sport once, and to quote Ralph Wiggum, "[It] tastes like... burning"(skip to 3:25 for that part).

All Sport's commercials were not any better as they portrayed ridiculous versions of sports in the future.  Steve Young and Jerry Rice should be ashamed for allowing themselves to do this:



If the future does really involve drinking All Sport, I don't want to be a part of it.  Wisely, Pepsi sold off All Sport when it acquired Gatorade.  Since then, All Sport got rid of the carbonation in its drink, but it won't taste any better.

Currently, the biggest name spokesman for All Sport is professional golfer John Daly.  That's not a strong endorsement because Daly would drink just about anything if he could mix it with alcohol.   He was probably drunk when he signed that contract and once he sobered up, he was like "Shit, what have I done this time."

I can best describe my feelings for All Sport this way: If somebody put a gun to my head and told me I had to drink either Mello Yello or All Sport, I'd take my chances with the gun.
