Gatorade!!!!!

Hey ya'll! For those who absolutely love the drink, Gatorade, I know how it all got started! Ok, it got started back in the 70's I think when the Univeristy of Florida Gators were having a tough football season. When experts at the college figured out it was because the team was getting dehydrated and everything, they came up with this formula and called it Gator-Aid. The drink became pretty famous when the team started to win again and I think when a big company took over the formula or soemthing, they changed a couple of letters and named it Gatorade. The last part of the story I'm not to sure of so I'll ask my dad about it (he went to that college(Emmit Smith went there too! Dad said it was probably after he graduated when Smith entered the college)) because he knows the story pretty well. He's the one who told it to me! Just thought fans of Gatorade would like to know how it originated! Later! God Bless!

That is pretty sweet! I LOVE to drink Gatorade during soccer games and practices. It keeps me from getting dehydrated so I can play the whole game :) I have heard that story before but I can't remember where.

I tend to stick to the old school flavors...lemon lime, orange, and fruit punch

When I'm working hard I'll drink any flavor of Gatorade. I didn't think I liked it but a summer of mowing lawns taught me to love the stuff.

Ever since my youth pastor talked about how he though it tasted like pee I've had trouble drinking it and not thinking of that. I have to say though that when I'm working hard I'll drink just about anything. ...not to imply...
