sports drink dude dies

[Tumbleweed]

Pick a flavor ? Rain, Frost, Lemon-Lime, Fierce, AM, Xtremo ? and drink a toast today to Dr. Robert Cade, inventor of the concoction once nicknamed "Cade's Cola" and now known as Gatorade.

Cade died Tuesday in Jacksonville, Fla., from kidney failure, according to officials at the University of Florida, where he and three colleagues invented the billion-dollar sports drink industry in the mid-1960s. He was 80.

Rain? Frost? Fierce? Jagged Ice? Whats up with all these silly "flavours" ? Wtf does frost taste like?

[Tumbleweed]

what about that crappy powerade flavour the launched at the comrades a few years back at polly shorts: mountain blast. apparently most of the runners failed to see the humour in it

Must say, if I run out of Fit/Powerbar , I go to the nearest PnP and get Powerade. I don't have a preferred flavour , but Mountain blast isn't bad at all.

Don't mind the Mountain Blast either....
