'Tis a sad day in the world of delicious sports drinks. Dr. Robert Cade, the inventor of Gatorade has passed away. Considering I pretty much live on the stuff, especially the fancy new Mango Electrico I'll honor his memory by dumping my next cup of Gatorade onto the nearest person who has done something cool, perhaps at volleyball or at my next work meeting. You know what I haven't had in a long time? Gatorgum? That stuff was great. While I don't think it exists anymore, the same exact gum is available as "Quench Gum" if my taste buds are correct. Hey, what's in a name? I mean, if Alexander the Grape can become Grapeheads, I'm ok with Quench as long as it still has the same saliva triggering capacity of Gatorgum.
Anyhow, raise a glass to Gatorade, possibly of Gatorade for the drink I would most want to find a river of in the magical realm of Gator-land.
