Gatorade

Athlete's neon refreshment

Gatorade is a brand of sports drink designed to replace fluids and electrolytes lost through sweating.

Originally developed for college football players, it became the dominant product in its category: The coach handed out cups of Gatorade at halftime.

The name combines "Gators" (the University of Florida team) with "-ade" suggesting a fruit drink.
