Florida


We now bring ourselves down to the "Sunshine State" on the Southeastern coast, Florida! Florida is home to many things; its fresh clear waters, numerous gold courses, and great weather. Florida is also home to the sports drink "Gatorade". Gatorade was founded in 1965 by four researchers at Florida University. The origin of the name is quite simple, they named their product Gatorade because "Gator" is the name of the Florida Universities mascot. The "ade" part is because the drink would aid Florida athletes. Gatorade has become a crucial part of all sports, it can be found on the sidelines, in the locker rooms and on almost every field and court.
