Gatorade

In today's episode, Zack has 30 minutes to become an "expert" on... Gatorade! Yup, Gatorade. That colorful sports drink that's apparently been around since the mid-70s. This was a fun one for Zack, and hopefully will be fun for the rest of you too. Sometimes you need a light topic! And you know when's a time like that? NOW. However, Gatorade isn't "light" in the sense that it's low in calories - hate to break it to you, but there's a ton of sugar in there! We really dove into some of the health issues, but kept it fun along the way. You know we love a good origin story, and Gatorade has got one of those. In fact, the University of Florida is still making millions off of the invention of Gatorade today! Also, surprise surprise, we have a scientist's wife to thank for the fact that Gatorade doesn't taste like total yuck. Thanks, Mrs. Cade! Listen in for some flavor talk, some football talk, we even have some Michael Jordan up in here! If you want our takeaway, here it is: Going for a hard run? Have a Gatorade! Sitting on the couch all day? Don't! It's that simple.

 

Highlights include: 

- The amount of Gatorade Americans drink each year 

- How we almost had "Gatoraid"

- Hot Michael Phelps Chat!
