What was gatorades first flavor

Chris Harry Stories Twitter. Wednesday, September 30, Ad Blocker Detected. Thanks for visiting! How much do you know about its history? Robert Cade and Dr. Cade comes to an agreement with Stokely-Van Camp, Inc. S-VC to produce the already patented product.

They beat Georgia Tech for their first Orange Bowl title. That made the difference. Cade settle a lawsuit with the University of Florida. The first of many instances where the color of the drink was upsetting to people. Lots of "WHY? Another waxed on about its perfume-y green fruit notes. So that about evens out?

Have you ever had something "cute-tasting? Most were "pleasantly surprised" by the lightness of this drink: "Tastes like an ice pop—yum. Though many people commented this flavor tasted more like cherries than anything else, the agreed upon decision was that its a big hit for something that wasn't an original flavor.

An easy in to the top five. People reminisced about their first sips of Gatorade Cool Blue—it brings back memories of high school, no? While all Gatorades are flawless hangover cures, G-Zero Glacial Freeze is the hangover cure, we agreed.

And what is Gatorade if not the ultimate hangover cure to end all hangover cures? Or whatever? And me likes it.

This is Fruit Punch, sans fierceness. You know, Fruit Punch used to be one my absolute favorite flavors, but somehow, I feel like its Fierce cousin's assailment on my senses has actually slightly tainted the regular flavor for me. It's like eating Double-Stuffed Oreos, then never being able to go back to the regular stuff ed.

Still, it's a standard. And it's slightly more mellow duh than the Fierce incarnation. Which right now, is a good thing. If you're hungover, always go regular. That's what Dad told me when I turned That's what I'm telling you now. Orange Gatorade is what it is. You know it. I know it. It's solid, in liquid form. I can appreciate this even in my not-so-solid state.

It's dependable. The pack mule of the Gatorade line. Ranking it any higher would be disingenuous. Ranking it any lower would be a disservice. This was made for 5. It didn't disappoint me, which is really all that I can ask from a sports drink.

It's more than I actually ask from myself. And now, we've come to a simple truth that — frankly — I've known to be self-evident since I played roller hockey in third grade: the Frost flavors of Gatorade kick some serious ass. They are the shit. They're like ice cold ambrosia drained from the glaciers of the Gods.

If winter sports icon Kristi Yamaguchi made a deal with Satan to chemically extract, liquify, and bottle the grace, poise, and candor of her gold-medal-winning skating routine into tasteful and refreshing packaging, it would come out like the Frost flavors. Hitting one of these when you are hungover is like biting into a Peppermint Patty with your head in the freezer while liquid nitrogen gets poured down your underpants. This actually made me feel better. Choosing one of these over the others would be like choosing a favorite child.

I don't have children, but I can only assume it would be this hard. It's not the flashiest. It's not the fiercest. It's definitely not the flow-iest. But the original flavor of Gatorade — developed by University of Florida researchers in an effort to give their football players an electrolyte-laden leg up on the competition go Gators! It's inoffensive, yet satisfying. Familiar, yet oddly exhilarating.
