Not all of the arguments you make towards your concerns make any sense. Why would people pay three bucks for ElectroFuse when they can buy a 32 oz bottle of Gatorade for less? Have you tried running or exercising after drinking 32 oz of liquids? Or perhaps people can't fit electrolye drinks into their pockets, while they can barely even feel the ElectroFuse when it's there. Convenience. Most people I know would pay for convenience.
If your thinking makes sense, then why do people spend $8-12 on a shot of vodka at the bar, when they can just spend $3-5 to down a beer and get the same amount of alcohol? They must be stupid?
5 Hour Energy probably didn't make sense to you when it first came out either. Why would people spend that much money on a bottle of 5 hour energy when they can just a pop a B-vitamin and down a cup of coffee for much less?
Please bring some legitimate arguments to the table.
