So, have you ever tasted rotten Accelerade? Let's just say that during the first recovery song in spinning this morning, when I took my first, LONG swig of my supposed fresh, cold water, what I tasted instead prompted something akin to the recent Swedish You Tube phenomenon:
The weird thing is that it was only 36 hours old, and the stuff doesn't go bad that quickly when opened in the refrigerator, or of course when unopened...so what is it about leaving it in a water bottle in the trunk of my car that makes it taste so vile? Normal Gatorade wouldn't have been a problem, I don't think.
I came back and made it through class without any more incidents, but even now, 10 hours later, I can still taste the remnants of what seemed to be mold mixed with vomit mixed with something I probably shouldn't mention.
I'll remember to wash my bottle next time.

It's my understanding that Accelerade gets its proteins from milk so that was probably a big contributor to it going bad so quickly without refrigeration.
Gee. Thanks for that. I was eating my museli with organic milk. Uhm. Not hungry any more.
"How should Accelerade ready-to-drink be stored? How should it be stored after opening?
"Once opened, Accelerade ready-to-drink should be stored in the refrigerator and consumed within 3-5 days after opening."

It's NASTY! I had an unopened bottle in my car for about a month in the summer before opening. It was all I brought on a 30 mile ride on a hot day, so I had to drink it. I'm pretty sure the taste is still in my mouth...
:-P

Yuk, I had the same thing happen on a long ride and after about the 3rd hour, my accelerade tasted so crappy I dumped it.
Lets see...milk protein, sugar, heat...duh. Blachy pooey.
