    Huh . . . learn something new every day . . .

    Just saw the new Gatorade commercial . . . had no idea it was actually created for the Florida Gators a while back . . . hence the name, Gatorade. Vewwwwy vewwwy interestin'

    I actually kind of wonder how many people this might turn away from drinking it . . . I know if a drink called Redsoxade came out, I'd sure as heck avoid it. (Then again, it's not like the Red Sox have ever really won anything, so I can't imagine it would sell too well)
    I used to be into sadism, necrophilia and beastiality, but then I realized I was just beating a dead horse

    i think that was a question on jepoardy or the weakest link or trivial pursit (the board game.) so i did know that it was developed for the florida gators.

    but i haven't seen the commerical.

    btw, i'm addicted to the stuff. i love the purple frost one (i don't know the name, i just get the purple one.) my car always has empty bottles strewn about.
    i'd rather be down the shore
    OH SNAP! guess where I am?

    I was living down the jersey shore before Jersey Shore.

    How does anyone even watch that show???

    I saw that commercial tonight. It was actually pretty interesting. Very well done, Gatorade!

    Never knew that was why it was called Gatorade until I saw the commercial yesterday either. Good stuff.

    Even without the hype, it is an ideal mixture for rehydration.

    Well, as sho.gun's mother said: "If life gives you Gators, make Gatorade."
