Gatorade

Gatorade is a non-carbonated sports drink marketed by PepsiCo. Originally made for athletes, it is now often consumed by non-athletes as a snack beverage. The drink is intended to rehydrate and to replenish the carbohydrates (using sucrose, glucose, and fructose) and electrolytes (sodium and potassium salts) depleted during aerobic exercise (particularly in the debilitating Florida climate).
