It was not a great innovation no matter they hype. Look up "warm blooded Ringer's solution" a concoction used in biology labs for more than a century. It has the same chemistry as the fluid in tissue. Add sugar and flavoring and you have Gatorade. It's no wonder Pepsico bought the rights to make it. Take 3 cents worth of salts, sugar, and flavoring and sell a quart of it for a dollar. Hard to lose money on that.
