History

Robert Cade discovered that when athletes exercise their bodies lose necessary components to stay energized and hydrated. Cade and his team quickly began research for the perfect concoction of carbohydrates and electrolytes at the University of Florida. They decided to name this drink "Gatorade" after their school mascot, the Florida Gators. Cade was only able to serve this drink to the freshman team, as soon as the freshman team started scrimmaging with the varsity, the freshman looked jest as good as the varsity. After this the varsity coach quickly ordered his team a new batch of this "magic" drink. This began leading the Gators to victories. The gators finished their 1966 season with a 9 and 2 record winning the orange bowl for the first time ever. Robert Cade perfectly embodies the expression "if you dream it you can do it" because today Cade has gained over 110 million dollars for his invention.
