Gatorade Thirst Quencher, Fierce Grape, 20 Ounce (Pack of 8)

Product Information

The University of Florida researchers initially considered naming their product "Gator-Aid". They settled on the name Gatorade, however, since the researchers wanted to create a commercial product, not a scientifically-validated one [ non sequitur]. Darren Rovell notes in his history of Gatorade, First in Thirst, "the doctors realized that they probably shouldn't use the 'Aid' suffix, since that would mean that if the drink were ever marketed, they would have to prove that it had a clear medicinal use and perform clinical tests on thousands of people." [11] Gatorade co-inventor Dana Shires explained, "We were told that you couldn't use that because the Food and Drug Administration prohibited that. That would classify it as something other than a cola or soft drink, so we changed it to ade." [12] Gatorade Thirst Quencher is sweetened using a sucrose- dextrose mix. For a period of time in the 1990s and early 2000s, high fructose corn syrup was used to sweeten Gatorade distributed in North America, but as of 2011, the drink is once again sweetened with a sucrose–dextrose combination, which the company describes as being "preferred by consumers". G2 and G2 Natural, labeled as being "lower calorie" variants, are sweetened in part with PureVia, an extract of the Stevia plant. [54] Fruit punch is a lovely, summery Gatorade flavor that will hydrate and refresh, even on the warmest days. The fruity taste and punchy smell set it apart from other flavors.

Gatorade Tiger was a Gatorade Thirst Quencher sports drink formed as the result of a sponsorship arrangement with Tiger Woods. Debuting in March 2008, Gatorade Tiger was available in Red Drive (cherry), Cool Fusion (lemon-lime), and Quiet Storm (grape). Gatorade Tiger contained 25% more electrolytes than Gatorade Thirst Quencher. [34] As part of the 2009 rebranding, Gatorade Tiger was re-labeled as Focus. It was reformulated, adding the amino acid theanine, which is naturally found in many forms of tea, improving mental focus. Focus contained about 25mg per 8 US fluid ounces (240mL) serving or 50mg per 16.9 US fluid ounces (500mL) bottle. On November 25, 2009, it was reported by Beverage Digest, and later confirmed by PepsiCo, that they had made a decision, several months before November 2009, to discontinue some products to make room for the Prime and Recover products as part of a then-upcoming G Series re-branding. [35] In 2015, the Gatorade Energy gummies made their debut along with the Gatorade energy bar. Gatorade may offer a good drink to complement water for athletes involved in intense exercise and activity. Gatorade may also be helpful to replace electrolytes lost during an illness that involves bouts of vomiting or diarrhea, or after prolonged exposure to excessive heat. There are 34g of sugar (8 teaspoons) in one 20 US fluid ounces (590ml) bottle of regular Gatorade. The USDA's recommended daily maximum of added sugars per person is about 50 grams. [56] According to the American Heart Association, the recommended maximum amount of sugar is 25 grams per day for women and 36 grams per day for men. [57] The American Heart Association states that children and teens should drink no more than 8 US fluid ounces (240ml) of sugary beverages per week. [58]

As one of the most popular thirst quenchers, Gatorade helps to replace the critical electrolytes that are lost by the body. The grape flavor stands out for its distinct taste and color. If you enjoy grape-flavored candy or the fruit itself, this is a beautiful treat. First time I had tried this orange flavor Gatorade and after having it, I was addicted! The taste was soooooo yummy! It’s like drinking orange juice on ice-cold water! It has a very refreshing taste!
