Good news for those of us who prefer hydrating with G2 - it now comes in individual packets to mix into 16 oz/ 1/2 liter bottles of water 
I am one of those "sensitive" tummy people who cannot tolerate regular gatorade or powerade. I began using G2 when training and racing and fell in love
A few months ago I was in our local grocey and spotted a box of G2 packets, both fruit punch and grape flavors are available. Bought the fruit punch for a taste test and was completely hooked. It dissolves very rapidly and completely - no residue in the bottle at all and tastes exactly the same as the pre-mixed G2.
I used to have to pack bottles of G2 to take to out of town races which meant I had to check baggage and it weighed a ton. Then of course, I also would worry that my luggage would get lost - all the rest of my race gear is carried on. For the Minnie Marathon weekends, I was packing a dozen bottles for my sister and I for before, during and after the races.
A few weeks ago I went to Vegas with my hubby for a convention and (of course) found a 5k that I could do
Instead of figuring how many bottles of G2 to take, I just put 8 packets in my carryon and trotted off to the airport. Absolutely no issues with TSA - all packets were in a clear baggie in my carryon.
I know I can get bottled water ANYWHERE and most races have bottled water at the end. The day of the Vegas 5k, I put a bottle of water and 2 packets in my rental car and headed off. Once I parked for the race, I put a packet in my shorts pocket and headed off.
Had a fun race and when I pulled out my G2 packet to mix up at race end, it turned out to be a conversation starter
So, for those who travel as they compete or simply like G2 anytime here is a great portable way to get it! My DH and DS have requested that we carry the packets into the Disney parks as their favorite alternative to sodas

Thanks for the info, I have to have my G2 after a run. It will be great to have the powder mix to add to water. Its a pain to have to carry the regular bottles of G2 when you go out of town to run a race.
