What's wrong with water?

I've never really understood the whole "Gatorade" idea. What exactly is wrong with water? When you get off a treadmill, your body needs water. It doesn't need electrolytes. Are you an Ironman triathlete? If your body needs more than water you can always eat after your workout. But drinks like Gatorade, Poweraid, etc. mainly provide you with sugar, artificial flavors and colors, and a few other things. They advertise that they provide you with what your body lost. But since when is that a problem? Trust me, your body can produce more of what it needs if you give it water and natural foods. Consider this, those drinks mainly provide you with sugar. They have small amounts of other ingredients but you're maily drinking sugar and water with chemicals. They also have calories. A person will burn in the neighborhood of 10 calories a minute in a fairly strenuous exercise. That sports drink will often have nearly as many calories as a regular soda. So those 300 calories you just burned in a half hour of jogging? Say hello to half of it again with a small bottle of virtually any sports drink. So this leaves me back where I began -- what exactly is wrong with water? Seems like it's just missing all the marketing.
