As unlikely as it seems, an FSU assistant football coach went to college researchers and physicians to try and understand why some of his Florida Gators players suffered from heat exhaustion and fatigue.

The university research team identified extreme loss of electrolytes and dehydration as the primary cause, and they subsequently formulated a drink to meet those needs that they then dubbed “Gator-ade” after the school's reptilian mascot.
