3. Gatorade

As you may have guessed, this sports drink was “invented” by the professor Robert Cade for all athletes who require more than just simple water to hydrate after an intense workout. The initial idea of Gatorade consisted of water, sugar, sodium, and lemon juice, but it tasted funny, so they added more lemon juice. The beverage was first consumed in 1965 after the Florida Gators won the game. I’m sure you can figure out where the name came from!

The drink eventually gained popularity and is now owned by PepsiCo. However, they must gradually change the recipe because many people have confirmed that it no longer tastes as good as it did ten or more years ago.
