"After every second bottle rehab with 400 ml of a 50/50 mix of Gatorade and water at 4°C"

  • We don't have fridges in our trucks
  • There is no magic 400ml bottle to mix the water and Gatorade.

Pretty reasonable, oddly specific. Even funnier if you’re in the US and they still wrote it with metric measurements.
