Actually did a double take when saw this and took a picture thinking some poor sod was going to get fired over this misspelling of epic proportions!

Turns out, this IS its real name???!? :rofl::rofl:

A kind of Gatorade concoction for sports and hangovers. I'm surprised no one has invented a cocktail made with it yet.

It has a sort of mild grapefruit taste which I find quite pleasant. I always make sure we have some in stock if a heavy session is planned. #voiceofexperience
