Best Answer

In 1965, a team of researchers at the University of Florida developed a drink that would replace fluids and salt that was lost during times of exertion. The drink was tested on members of the University of Florida football team and was named Gatorade to honor the University. The nickname of the University of Florida is 'the Gators'.

Gatorade was not discovered. It was, rather, invented in 1965. Originally meant to be named "Tigerade" after Louisiana State University's football team, the inventors decided to change the name when Steve Spurrier became head coach of the University of Florida Gators football team. Since the two teams are somewhat rivals in the same conference, no one associated with Gatorade will ever admit to this. Nevertheless, Gatorade is still delicious and works wonders for recovering from food poisoning and hangovers!
