I have never owned a pet in my life here on planet Earth. So, watching a 30 second commercial of a dog lapping up the water in his bowl wasn't that intriguing to me. Maybe it was interesting for pet owners as they were able to compare the way this dog drank as opposed to their dogs.

Having said that, I think that this was a clever ad pointing out that we humans should be replenishing our bodies with fluids just like our pets do. Granted, we need to do this with Gatorade, as the ad states, not with good old fashioned water. That, of course, would be sacrilege. Frankly, I think the Derek Jeter ad was more entertaining than this one.

Derek Jeter [Okay, I admit it: I looked on the USA Today line up of commercials to find out who that was] is walking around talking about baseball and people on the street are stopping him and telling him that he had a great game. So, is this a commercial for a sports drink or for the upcoming baseball season? The field is following him as he walks and there is a lame joke about that at the end.Not a very effective commercial to have an athlete in a long, dark coat skulking around. But I have been interested in trying G-2 just because it's low calorie Gatorade. Gotta love that. But how does it taste?
