quotes

• "Powerade plant smells like horse manure."- Sam Galeski  
• "Powerade turned green." Lydia Ash

conclusion

• We concluded that Powerade does NOT help a plant grow.
• We also came to the conclusion that it is best to give a plant water.
• Also, giving a plant 90 mL of Powerade is WAY too much Powerade.
• In the end, we decided that it is best to just give a plant about 30 mL 
• ...of water.
