His death was announced by the University of Florida, where he and other researchers created Gatorade in 1965 to help the school's football players replace carbohydrates and electrolytes lost through sweat while playing in swamp-like heat.

could be..

It was first tested on freshmen because Coach Ray Graves didn’t want to hurt the varsity team. Eventually, however, the use of the sports beverage spread to the Gators, who enjoyed a winning record and were known as a “second-half team” by outlasting opponents.

tested on FReshmen first,, lol .. I wondered what else was in it.? ;-)

“Cade said Stokely-Van Camp hated the name “Gatorade,” believing it would was too parochial, but stuck with it after tests showed consumers liked the name.”

Why mess with perfection.

Around 1970 Anheuser Busch produced something called “Hoppin Gator” which was a Gatorade-based malt liquor. It did not fly.
