Sports Drinks, Quiet Riot, and Football.

Dr. Robert Cade, creator of Gatorade, died Tuesday in Jacksonville, Fla. He was 80.

Gatorade developed in 1965 to help the Florida Gators football team replace carbohydrates and electrolytes lost through sweat while playing in the swamp-like heat of Gainesville, Fla. The first batch cost $43 in supplies, and "sort of tasted like toilet bowl cleaner," They then added sugar and lemon juice for flavor.

Now you have a choice. Pick a flavor — Rain, Frost, Lemon-Lime, Fierce, AM, Xtremo. Or stick to the basics. Gatorade accounts for $5 billion in sales.
