Intraworkout products generally contain either BCAAs, EAAs or a mixture of both. Recently, companies have been adding extra things like Leucine, Beta-Alanine and carbs/protein to increase the synergistic effect of the ingredients.
Good Basic IWO supps are Xtend and BCAA+EA
Purple Wraath has some extra goodies like Beta-Alanine in it.
And then you have the more comprehensive products like Intra-Aid and IntrAbolic which contain hydrolysed whey and (in Intra-Aid's case) carbs.
Users generally say they get increased endurance, better recovery and less of a "crash" after the gym. They're definitely optional, but the effect I've gotten from taking them to me justifies the extra cost.

Some people like to keep beta alanine in their bodies much as some people take creatine on the off days to keep the muscles saturated. Also bcaa's will help not lose muscle during normal dailly activities. So as far as should you no its not a must but it wont hurt you either.
Yesterday is the past tommorow is the future and today is a gift. That is why they call it present.

I had the same experience, I had a tub of Juicy Grape I ordered a while back, and I honestly had to gag it down every workout. I got to the point where I was drinking during every activity (DDR, Jogging, even Guitar Hero ) just so I could finish it off and not have it wasted.
Last week I got another sample of lemonade PW, had about 4 of them, and I figured what the hell, better use it before they go bad. Extra EAA's works for me I'll just chug it down. I mixed a sample pack in with 20oz of water, went for the first gulp.. tasted like CANDY! Tasted like a berry Lemonhead, was delicious. I went home immediately after the workout and ordered 2 Tubs of Lemonade. And now I'm lovin the PW more than ever!

Yeah, I'll definitely have to try the lemonade flavor pw after I'm done with this tub. I finally got mixtures of wf/gm/pw that are not half bad at all now, and it seems like the tubs of each one last forever!!! Some supplements you end up taking 3 scoops of and they don't last more than 2-3 weeks tops, but this combo pack of wf/gm/pw definitely lasts a while.

I really like PW, its been good to me but I'm almost out.
I'm looking into trying Intrabolic but I am on a college student discount. Is there anywhere I can get a sample packet or two. If it was the summer time I'd pick up an order of it without trying, but I have to try and make every dollar in the budget count these days.
P.S. Props on PW controlled labs. I really like White Flood, its outstanding!
