Sports drinks are a popular choice for athletes and active individuals, as they provide electrolytes and carbohydrates to help replenish lost fluids and energy. Two of the most well-known sports drink brands are Gatorade and Powerade. Gatorade is a brand of sports drink created in 1965 by researchers at the University of Florida. It is now owned by PepsiCo and is the official sports drink of the NFL, NBA, MLB, and NHL. Powerade is a brand of sports drink created by The Coca-Cola Company in 1988. It is the official sports drink of the Olympics and is endorsed by many professional athletes.
