Oi! Using Gatorade or Kool Aid in a bladder is not a good idea. Due to their shape, and construction there is far too hhigh a risk that some of that juice remains behind, and then begins to fester. It's a good way to greatly increase the risk of food poisoning. The only thing that should go in the bladder as a drink is water.
To clean it, and get rid of the "rubbery" taste, use he aforementioned mix of water and vinegar. However, no need to regigerate it for 30 minutes. Just let it sit for a while, then rinse it thoroughly a few times.
