IMHO, the gulf between the best Luna/Clif bar flavours (reasonably tasty) and the worst ones (horrid) is pretty wide. I never used to be bothered with them either, but have since found a handful that I like.

As for Gatorade, it always tastes to me like it should be cut half for half with water, and other brands of sport drink are even more sickly. The folks that make the stuff must be listening, because their "Gatorade Rain" flavours pretty much taste like watered-down ordinary Gatorade.
