To replace bodily fluids lost during physical exertion, University of Florida窶冱 Dr. James Robert Cade and his team of researchers窶播octors H. James Free, Dana Shires and Alex de Quesada窶把reated the now-ubiquitous sports drink. 窶弋hey developed a drink that contained salts and sugars that could be absorbed more quickly,窶� according to a University of Florida history of medicine, 窶彗nd the basis for Gatorade was formed.窶� In its early days, Gatorade wasn窶冲 a hit with players. The drink reportedly tasted so awful that some athletes vomited after consuming it. Things got more palatable after Dr. Cade窶冱 wife suggested adding lemon juice. But it proved effective for rehydrating players and helped improved the team's performance; they became known as a second-half team that no longer sagged in the heat. The following season, the Gators posted a stellar 8-2 record, and the university released an official statement about the drink. A Florida newspaper headline summed up the gist: 窶廾ne Lil窶� Swig of That Kickapoo Juice and Biff, Bam, Sock窶祢t窶冱 Gators, 8-2.窶� By 2025, royalties for the group that invented Gatorade had eclipsed $1.25 billion dollars. 73 de Scott KF5JRV Pmail: KF5JRV@KF5JRV.#NWAR.AR.USA.NA Email KF5JRV@gmail.com
