The original Gatorade, (the real stuff athletes drink on the sidelines, not the sugared up stuff from the corner store,) supposed came about from collecting and analyzing the sweat of NFL players.

Milk is another example. Nature is pretty good at repurposing existing stuff. The same holds true with milk. It’s just sweat glands that are able to add extra fats and whatnot to boost the nutritional content of the stuff. That’s where you got the craze a few years back of chocolate milk being the best energy drink of all. Basically cow Gatorade that naturally contained fat and the chocolate added even more sugar…
