The free sample of Strawberry Watermelon Hydration Booster seems to be a good product. One would, however, need to buy more to really know if it is truly hydrating. The flavor is good and the powder mixed easily with water. I would probably recommend it to my family especially during summer months when they don't want plain water. Seems like a good product and Gatorade has always been my favorite summer drink. The packets give the opportunity to try new flavors.
