It came from university research: Gatorade! Apply for a URA and invent or create something of your own! Did you know?
Gatorade was first developed in 1965 by a team of researchers led by Dr. Robert Cade at the University of Florida to replenish the carbohydrates that the school's student-athletes burned and the combination of water and electrolytes that they lost in sweat during rigorous sport activities, like football practice. The name refers to the school's mascot, the Florida gator. Gatorade was bought by PepsiCo in 2000, and is sold in over 80 countries world-wide. The brand is worth $4.8 billion.

Apply for a URA and get up to $1500 to support your research or creative work!
