Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Gatorade was developed for what college football team?

Answer: University of Florida

This is also how the drink got its name. University of Florida's football team is nicknamed the "Gators", hence the name Gatorade.
2. What substance (that the FDA later banned) was originally in Gatorade?

Answer: cyclamate

Cyclamate was removed from Gatorade a year after it was discovered to be a carcinogen. Cyclamate is approximately 30-50 times sweeter than sugar, depending on the concentration of it in the beverage or medicine.
3. In what year did Gatorade switch from glass to plastic bottles?

Answer: 1998

Gatorade is now sold mostly in 20 fl. oz. bottles (approximately 591 milliliters.) It comes in many flavors and subcategories, such as Gatorade Rain and Gatorade: X factor.
4. When did the "Gatorade Dunk" first occur? (The "Gatorade Dunk" occurs after a meaningful win when a cooler full of Gatorade is dumped on a coach's, star player's, or owner's head.)

Answer: October 28th, 1984

The first "Gatorade Dunk" was performed in 1984 by Jim Burt of the Giants, who was angry at Coach Bill Parcells. This tradition later developed into an action of joy by victorious teams.
5. Which of these flavors was NOT discontinued after being introduced in 1997?

Answer: Frost Glacier Freeze

Most of these flavors were discontinued soon after, as the public never demanded them. In fact, 26 flavors have been discontinued since Gatorade's founding in 1967.
6. Which of these flavors is NOT one of the top three most popular flavors?

Answer: Grape

Grape is still a great selling product, but not nearly as much as the original Lemon Lime, Orange, and Fruit Punch flavors.
7. Gatorade is Kosher certified.

Answer: False

No, it's not kosher certified. The only answer it gives on Gatorade.com to the question if it is Kosher certified is "No."
8. After the 1967 Orange Bowl in which Florida beat Georgia Tech, what did the coach of Georgia Tech say about Gatorade?

Answer: "They had Gatorade, we didn't. That made the difference."

Undoubtedly one of the most famous Orange Bowl quotes ever, it was uttered by Bud Carson.
9. How many calories are in an average 20 oz bottle of Gatorade?

Answer: 125

This is still less than most soft drinks, which average around 150 calories per 20 oz. bottles.
10. What is Gatorade's symbol, usually shown on every bottle of Gatorade?

Answer: Lightning bolt

The lightning bolt is shown on most bottles, usually red or orange. The lightning bolt is usually shown in the background behind a banner on the wrapper of the bottle proclaiming "Gatorade."
Next time you drink this beverage, be sure to remember what you are drinking, and its incredible journey from home-brewed drinks for a College Football team to being mass produced in numerous countries.
