Actually, outside of warm hot chocolate or coffee, tea, espresso, or some related thereof, we Americans are quite prone to requiring our beverages nice and chilled.
I haven't actually looked into the ingredients for Gatorade, but given the thickness of it when cold I assume there's a thickening agent in it...thinking of its texture after boiling gives me the jibblies.

Huh? It's utterly indistinguishable from water man, it's literally just water with some drink mix dissolved in it. You can buy the powder in cans actually (I drink about half a gallon of it a night at work during the summer). If you warmed it up it would just be... warmed up Gatorade, warming up water improves it's ability to keep solids in solution after all.

I can definitely discern the thickness of Gatorade compared to any other drink (except that flavored bubble water sold by Safeway, it's the same way though lacks sugar). Whether it's a "natural" effect such as the massive amount of sugar or due to an additive I don't know, but it's there and makes my mouth feel like it's lightly coated after drinking it. Power/Gatorade and milk were the most disastrous things to drink before singing back in my choir days.
So it is something in between of Red Bull and saline solution?
Not quite. Gatorade is a sports drink, in fact probably the most famous sports drink there is, not an energy drink. It gives you electrolytes, not energy. Sports drinks, as stated above, were originally intended for athletes who use up a lot of electrolytes after playing a game. However, sports drinks are actually pretty tasty, and sports aren't the only way you use up electrolytes- despite consistently advertising themselves as being for athletes, Gatorade is probably just as famous for being probably the best thing to drink when you're feeling ill (especially if you have a gastrointestinal issue and feel nauseous), because you use up a lot of electrolytes when you're sick.

Oh yeah I remember the one time I had the stomach flu and all I did all day was vomit, diarrhea, drank gatorade, sleep. Repeat every 30 minutes.
Plenty of people just drink it like a soft drink because it's tasty too, but you can imagine what drinking a drink meant for drained athletes does for someone whose greatest effort that day was walking across the office. 'murrka!

The nice thing about sports drinks like Gatorade or Powerade for people that want something tasty is that alot of people actually don't like carbonation in their drinks. Which is why they may prefer it over soda.
I work outside and Gatorade is a real lifesaver when it gets over 90 and you start going through a case of water every few days. I usually drink one for every two bottles, when I have it.
Given how hot it gets in the truck, while I haven't literally had boiled gatorade, it's been the temperature of hot tea at times. It's not bad!
I feel like this whole comic is some kind of obscure reference to lipton, but not quite sure. What with lipton being somewhat like boiled orange gatorade.

There's nothing there man, I have a bottle of it right here ingredients don't include anything that would notably thicken it's basically water with sugar and several forms of salts dissolved in it.
There's nothing there man, it's pure placebo and comparing it to milk is just silly. I have a bottle of it right here ingredients don't include anything that would notably thicken it's basically water, sugar, and several forms of salts.

I'm one of those people; I used to drink Pepsi until it started burning my throat. Switched to Dr. Pepper which did the same after about six months. Now I drink lemon/lime soda in between Arizona tea and whatever "flavored water beverage" is on sale at the time. I can't handle Gatorade's thickness unless I'm actually really parched from physical labor/workout, then it's soothing.

I just noticed that the person Kongou is parodying as is an old woman. Is that an unintentional jab at Granny Kongou?
What do you mean unintentional. Almost all of this artist's works of Iowa are of her playing the bratty young kid while Kongou is too old for this shit.
