Margaritas and trickery are right up my alley.
You would have gotten along FAMOUSLY with passed-on FReeper Legion5999.
He was in Shelton. He used to call them “Car sodas” and hang out on the beach near Charles Island, and in Westport at Compo.
All of his favorite drinks, mostly the brown party liquors, would look like something they weren’t.
1060 was a long time ago
I was watching the game on TV when the announcers were going on and on about the drink that the Gators were drinking. That was the first time it had ever been talked about. I remember it was a really hot day and the Florida Gators were beating the other team pretty thoroughly and the announcers were going on and on about how this drink was the difference.
I fired a couple of guys when I found out their water bottles were filled with vodka.
When I watch old movies, I don’t use the IMDB page. I use Wikipedia.
More information. Less ads.
“Turns out that back in the 1060s...”
That patent has to be expired! ;-)
“Some might find this practice sort of macabre, but when I’m watching an older movie at home, I sometimes have my laptop open to that movie’s IMDB page and then I click on each member of the cast to see if they are still alive or not. “
This has nothing to do with the beach or Gatorade.
“That special water was dubbed “Gator-Aid””
I took one of Dr. Cade’s classes. I don’t think it was ever dubbed Gator-Aid.
Yes. When watching movies, I too, open IMDb and look up the actors to read their bio. I’m a people person...a relationship person.
I have a friend who loves local musicians. She goes to their concerts or performances, then looks the musicians up on Internet to learn about them.
Back then we called "Ye Olde Gator-ale"
Jokes aside, I recall the drink as “Stokley’s” in Orange or lemon-lime.
I totally get the aging thing because when I think of Gatorade a colonoscopy prep immediately comes to mind.
I download my TV and movies from Amazon Prime and that imdb stuff downloads with the content automatically.

We had other ways of accessing alcohol. I always had a bottle of rubbing alcohol in my locker that was really 190 proof Everclear. Another favorite was taking high test oranges to football games. They’d been injected with liquor.
We always poured out half of our Coke and added rum in the car at the beach, too.
