Gatorade: the American sports drink born on the football field!

Did you know Gatorade saved the Florida Gators?

In 1965, the coach of the Florida Gators — the University of Florida's football team — noticed his players were collapsing because of the intense heat. He called in Dr. Robert Cade and his team, who developed a specific rehydration drink. The result? The Gators won their season. The drink was named Gatorade in honor of the Gators, and the rest is history!

Gatorade belongs today to PepsiCo and is the number 1 sports drink brand in the US. The tradition of the "Gatorade bath" — dousing the winning coach with a cooler of Gatorade — has become an essential ritual in the NFL and American sport in general. The rumor is true: millions of liters of Gatorade are poured over victorious coaches every year!
