I have a son who used to live on Powerade to maintain his competitive swimming habit but now we can't find it anywhere. I think the supermarket chains are dropping it from stock which only leaves the Horleys Replace.

Other swimmers have told me that the blue is now available in powder if only they would tell me where ...

pak n save apparently have it, progressive are waiting for their next update before they stock it (bastards) now in lemon lime and blue isotonic.

i found out from the coke rep in auckland they took away powder to redevlop it for isotonic, its now done and slowly working its way back into supermarket shelves.

I'll be stocking up on Leppin Enduro powder when I go to Chch next week...

Find what works for you and make sure you find out the supply chain! I like the lack of sugar in Leppin... not necessarily a fan of the artificial sweeteners, but hey...
