Do you like gatorade? Most people do. Did you know that Dr. Robert Cade was the person to invent it and now because of him we have Powerade, Propel, but those are just some of the many sports drinks this year. I will tell you were it was invented and why it’s called what it is, I will also tell you why they invented it and how it helped the world.
Dr. Cade was a professor at Florida University and he invented Gatorade in 1956 because the Gators team physician noticed that their players were losing energy and wanted them to think of a new drink that would keep their players going. So they invented gatorade and quickly after the Gators started winning and thats how they thought of the name gatorade.
The drink known as gatorade was becoming famous world wide. It was helping every person that was in a sport. It started in Florida and gradually spread through the states. Then slowly when the other nations started realizing that the Americans were doing extremely well they began to order the famous gatorade.
The new drink was a huge hit right off the bat. The Olympics and other famous companies were advertising it. So you can clearly see that gatorade was the begging of all the other sports drinks that are used today.
Sports….what would they be today if Dr.Cade hadn’t invented gatorade? Well they would be where they were fifty years ago.
The people that drink gatorade or buy it don’t even think what if no one had invented this, but I will remember every time I drink gatorade that Dr. Cade was the one to invent this awesome drink.
