    Well, since it is the off-season and we need to be "entertained."

    You do know how they make Gatorade, don't you? Hint: it is plainly in the original commercials.


    Gatorade, it puts back what your body sweats out.

    Yowsers! Can you imagine a bunch of Asian or Mexican (because they are cheap) athletic types working out over a vat with a porous cover???

    Well, it could be worse. It could be Soylent Green...

    Soylent green…lmao. Perfect.
    A funny movie trying to make a strong statement.
    Throughout the movie we see people who are hired as furniture, scooped up by giant trucks while rioting for food and many other dehumanizing scenarios.
    Then..at the end, we find out that we made them a food source. A real shocker.
    Many years ago PLANET OF THE APES came out. Big promotion. I had to kill sometime, decided to go. A Saturday night..wow, how the mighty have fallen. Went to one of the best theaters, at the time, Miami Beach. Walked in, there was one aisle seat available (like I had a reservation) sat down and the movie began.
    In the first two minutes of offering credits..ROD SERLING. Dayum.
    Lol..we are on Earth. No surprise.

    I was employed by Renal Services in Shands Hospital (the original/real Shands in G’ville) in the 70s as part of the kidney transplant team. Encountered Dr. Cade and his work from time to time.
    One day, in the bowels of the med science building, I encountered two individuals walking around with plastic bags taped securely around their hands at the wrist.
    Being curious, I had to ask - and they said it was one of Dr. Cade’s experiments to measure sweat and electrolyte loss.
    I wasn’t thinking about commercial applications just then, but I’m sure that contributed to his determination of proper electrolyte replacement!

    Not too many ppl went down to the bowels of the MSB building, but there were actually a couple labs down there before they renovated all the systems in the mid-nineties.

    You and they were in the bowels of Shands?


    What kind of product was he experimenting with down there? A better form of laxative??? Okay, maybe it was Beano.
