👉 "Gatorade" is a sweetened, flavored sports drink made from grafted (cut) cottonwood sap and water. It is marketed as a sports nutrition product. The term originates from the American football game which involves playing with a special kind of ball called a "gator." Players dribble through it, pushing off the ball into the pocket of the opposing team's quarterback to gain yardage, sometimes resulting in touchdowns for their team.
