I mean, water has to be blessed by a priest first before it becomes holy. So, what if the only thing available is a bottle of Gatorade but you have a priest? Couldn't he bless the Gatorade so that the person could be baptized?

Yes, but, every sperm is sacred, so God might get irate.

This is an interesting question. You can use saliva to baptize in the event of an emergency (lick your thumb and make the sign of the cross on the forehead, in the name of Father, Son, Holy Spirit—but that would likely need a secondary “proper” baptism if the emergency passes, this one counting as “conditional”). Which I guess would supersede ever needing Gatorade since you always have saliva.

If you mix holy water with Gatorade powder does it become holy Gatorade?

Oooh. If you then dehydrate that solution do you have Holy (gatorade) powder?

Yes, that would be consistent with Catholic doctrine.
Which means the AI is entirely correct.
