Has anyone tried this? Is it really any good? Better/comparable to Gatorade?

I googled it and came up with this:
Is Vitamin Water better than regular water?

Vitamin water is fortified with various vitamins and other additives, including a sweetener that adds calories to the drink. If you're eating a balanced diet or taking a multivitamin, you won't likely benefit from drinking vitamin water. If you're trying to lose weight, the calories in vitamin water will only work against you. And if you have heart or kidney disease, the potassium in some types of vitamin water may be a concern. Too much potassium can interrupt your heart or kidney function. Remember, fruits, vegetables and other whole foods are the best sources of vitamins and minerals. Of course, water is important, too. If you don't care for plain water, try sparkling water or a squirt of lemon or cranberry juice in your water.

I tried it once and did not like it. Not sure what flavor it was. It was the one that is a dark purple. I am willing to try some other flavors. As far as compared to Gatorade, it did not have the salty flavor that Gatorade has to me. We sell it at work and we sell a ton of it everyday. I will make myself try another flavor next week and let you know. Where I work it is cheaper than a bottle of pop, so I do like that aspect of it.

My Mom drinks it, but she has an ongoing issue with her heath and can't absorb vitamins from her food (and anything with vitamin K is completely out), so for someone like that it is wonderful...She gets her vitamins and it keeps her hydrated (and frankly she could use to put on a few more pounds, so the added calories are a bonus).
