Powerade I think was the coke brand one we used, and you could feel it working just like when popeye eats spinach in his cartoons.

I wanted to follow the particular 'station' (the term wunderground (Weather Underground) uses...and I think they are pulling that from the NWS) that recorded the 141 for a few days to see if the HI would go above that level. However, that ended up being the last posted day from that location. The level didn't rise either because that ended up being the hottest day in August in my general area. I watch the wunderground site periodically and I gather they have fixed sites and what might be independent sites. The fixed sites that I notice most prominently are airports, even ones that don't have any commercial flights. The stations in The Woodlands (a master planned community, now Township, and the location of the 141 HI post I saw) seem to be intermittent. I don't know if this is because the stations are completely controlled by the National Weather Service and the NWS intentionally moves them around within The Woodlands, or if independent people somehow qualify with the NWS to have a station at their coordinate and then post or don't post based on the spare time they have available.
