Does anyone use anything other than Game?

+1 for Game (though I know its not what you asked).
I also often have a Rehidrat at night (preventitive) tho I saw another supplement on another thread I'm looking into

Same as Josh. I'll generally have a Game on a tough day like ascending a pass, and a Rehidrat an hour or so after getting to camp

I use endurolytes, never tried game. I have tried Hammer's equivalent of Game, it was pretty good.

I came across a product called Tang at PnP. Its a 30g sachet as opposed to the 80g of Game yet makes the same volume of 1 litre.
It also costs less, has better flavours and higher energy and vitamin ratings per 100g than Game. Im no dietitian so cannot speak about any futher nutritional comparisons but its worth trying out.
I have been using it for a while now and I dont think I'll go back to game.
I also keep a few rehidrat though.
And no I dont work for kraft foods!

I was under the impression that tang was a 'squash' type drink, and not a sports drink like game. They're probably all mostly sugar anyway. When I cycled years ago I tried a few different drinks, energade, powerade etc but found game the best

I also use Game but hate it when it clogs the hose! Especially when using COLD water.

I have just started using 32Gi which is a post run recovery drink. It's not great as a 'during hike' drink but ensures you put back what you lose on a hard day. I just stir a serving into my hot chocolate in the evening...
