Imagine I give you several opaque cups and you can’t see the color. If you can successfully identify them all by taste alone, you don’t win anything, just have an old dude telling you he’s pretty impressed.
Not if the pool is all of the colors. I haven’t even had all of them before.

There are some that I could distinguish from the others.
Nope. I’ve only drunk two Gatorades, both blue. The first one convinced me I prefer coke, the second one was when I had gastric flu, hadn’t eaten in three days and badly needed to replace some electrolites. I was a rosebush at that point, if my memory is reliable.
Probably not. I only associate them with colors. Red is for health, blue is for mana, green is stamina.
Is there a green gatorade?
Yes it’s cucumber flavored
There’s also green apple
I think of that milky white one as stamina, ala Diablo 2… frost cherry i think its called.
Game UI convention seems to have settled on green for stamina. Skyrim, Zelda, Dark Souls, Tunic etc. There’s a YT video examining why mana is blue and the same reasons apply here I think. It’s basic color theory. Red was already taken as the obvious choice for HP since it’s the color of blood. Blue contrasts with red and green stands out from the other two.
As for Gatorade, the white one gives you frost damage reduction. Same with orange for fire and yellow for lightning.
There was a flavor of Powerade back in the 90s called jagged ice that was really dark blue. I loved it and wish it were still around. Maybe it gives you underwater breathing.
Considering I can’t even identify the flavor by the label, I’m gonna say, no, probably not.
Certain ones, sure. The cucumber lime one is pretty distinctive, for example.
Same with green apple
And frost, because it’s the only one I like. If I like it, it’s frost.
For a lot of them, yes.
However: There are some flavours that taste identical but come in different colors. Particularly the various shades of blue. At least 3 of them taste exactly like orange juice.
I can easily differentiate between that frost light blue one and the normal darker blue
Easily.
This ones Yak piss yellow, this one’s Ballsweat Blue, and yup that’s Salty Rash Red.
I’ve never tasted gatorade, so it’d definitely be a wild stab in the dark. Be intresting to test though!
I can identify Cool Blue. Despite being blue, it tastes like orange juice. Never heard a good reason why their orange flavour is blue. The actual orange one tastes like orange as well but it’s different.
I’d be confident in the traditional 3 most common, fruit punch red, lemon-lime yellow, and orange.
To answer your question, no.
Lets see there is: bad, overly sweet, not good, yuck, why am i drinking this, and purple. What do I win again?
Some of them yeah. Axtually probably most of them, as long as they’re not the sugar free ones, those all taste like fake sugar.
I used to do this with Skittles but I imagine that’s a whole 'nother kettle of fish
The white line. I drank a lot of that ages ago, and I have some specific sounds, smells, and other senses associated with it. I’m sure if I tasted it, a lot of specific memories would immediately trigger.
