Ghetto-ade

Ghetto-ade is a type of "sports" drink. Ghetto-ade is manufactured for and by "athletes" the world over to relieve dehydration from excessive drinking, over-indulgence in salty snacks of the flaming-hot variety and generally masking the un-appetizing microbial-infested municipal cesspool water coursing through rusty iron pipes. The Ghetto-ade recipe varies across different cultures and socio-economic contexts. Generally, the formula is one part anything not water and between 5 and 100 parts water. A wide range of flavors can be had, including: orange, lemon wedge, grape jelly, pure cane sugar, Mrs. Butterworth's, day-old coffee with cream, unidentifiable (red), food coloring, banana cream pie, pocket lint, flat cola beverages, water and of course Gatorade.
