Gatorade Aqua Blast: Tropical taste and design updates
Aqua Blast, a thirst quencher with tropical notes reminiscent of pineapple and mango, has long been a favorite among Gatorade enthusiasts. Social media buzz has compared its flavor to popular sodas, like Baja Blast, and even described it as a blend of other Gatorade flavors, like Icy Charge and Arctic Blitz.
This limited-edition drink also features an updated design. While the original version resembled Gatorade’s permanent lineup, the new packaging incorporates a blue color scheme with ocean-inspired graphics, aligning it with the brand’s other special releases.
Where to find Aqua blast?
Fans can now find Gatorade Aqua Blast in 28-ounce bottles exclusively at Walmart stores. Moreover, Casey’s General Store will begin carrying the drink in March, expanding its availability to even more locations.
