Gatorade is fairly commonly used by those athletes riding endurance races- both the 100 Km or 100 mile Century rides” in this neck of the woods- over GA, lower Al and the majority of FL.
I’m not a big fan of Gatorade, but the first time I went to Italy I drank a bottle of it everyday. It was July and it was very hot and I thought the Gatorade helped to keep me hydrated.
and coincidentally – we just had a talk with a few folks about which is better – Powerade or Gatorade.
everyone said gatorade – but admitted that powerade was better now than it used to be years ago.
and then someone said they only drink powerade (joking) cos ricky bobby endorsed it in that movie…. ha
Not only dos Gatorade have a birthplace — every one and thing does — but
it has a plaque, too. Last I checked, I have no such plaque in Detroit. Life is so unfair. 🙂
Interesting! I never thought about it – but I guess it had to be created somewhere… Cool backstory.
A fun and unexpected find! Thanks Stef
😃
I guess everything and everyone comes from somewhere.
You’re right, Sue.

Did not spell check- my apologies- Lower GA and ” Century rides”

Gator aid! 🐊
Yes, it is a good drink for rehydration, but water is still the ultimate for avoiding dehydration.
Who knew?
well i guess everything has a birthplace but i didn’t know this about gatorade!
I’ve never had it, but was it the first energy drink?
No caffeine in it. Considered a sports drink to replenish fluids after exertion. About the hydration. Replacement of salts
we actually heard of this birthplace -but did not know they had this marker…
Said it was erected in 2007
