Gatorade after the Florida gators
The University of Florida invented Gatorade to properly hydrate the football team. They wanted an advantage over the teams that just drank water. They named it "Gatorade" because they are known as the Florida Gators.
Priceless. I have them that I collected and I would not part with them.
It was first concocted by a team doctor for the University of Florida Gators football team.
The drink was originally created for the Florida Gators football team, and designed to aid the gators in hydrating during a game. Gatorade is a natural choice for a marketing name.
In 1965, a team of researchers at the University of Florida developed a drink that would replace fluids and salt that was lost during times of exertion. The drink was tested on members of the University of Florida football team and was named Gatorade to honor the University. The nickname of the University of Florida is 'the Gators'.
The Gators football coach, at the time, Ray Graves, was frustrated with the performance of his players, during the hot summer football practices, and asked the team doctor, for his insight. His research team, came across the unique mix of water,sodium, sugar, potassium, phosphate, and lemon juice that is now known as Gatorade in honor of the football team, the Gators. The football team credited Gatorade with their first Orange Bowl win over the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets, in 1967, and the drink became an instant phenomenon. Yellow Jackets coach Bud Carson, when asked why they lost, replied: "We didn't have Gatorade. That made the difference."
The Gatorade name comes from The University of Florida football team, the "Gators". Gatorade was invented at The University of Florida to assist their athletes in combating the dehydration that limited their performance-hence "Gator…ade."
