Vandalism

The final 21:32, 29 January 2012‎ is the date the vandalism began on the talk page. Up to that date there had been much discussion; now it is trashed for some reason. Call for experienced editor's oversight. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.81.189.241 (talk)

Rebranding section

The Prime 01 paragraph reads: The Prime 01 product line consists of a pre-game fuel in a snot consistency, positioned for consumption prior to athletic activity. Pretty sure "snot consistency" is vandalism. Tried to find out what it should be, but it seems to be pretty far back in the history. Can someone track it down and fix it. Thanks. -- Greenmango (talk) 20:35, 11 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Incorrect Nutrition Information

The nutrition information in the boxes at the right side of the page does not agree with the Gatorade web site information. Also, some information appears twice, in the text and in the boxes. Better to have only one copy of information in the article. Can't edit it now, myself. 7802mark (talk) 16:30, 5 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Two nutrition boxes

I changed a statement about cyclamate from "banned by the FDA in 1969 <k>after it was shown to cause bladder cancer</k>". It was indeed banned, although not in all countries, but the statement suggests that it was proven to cause bladder cancer in humans. At cyclamate, the actual details are given. Cyclamate was given to rats at very high doses, equivalent to a human consuming 350 cans of diet soda a day. There are claims the study was not reproducible, which may mean the results were falsified, and I don't think an article about a drink needs to enter into that controversy. It's sufficient to say the formula was changed after the FDA ban.

There are two nutrition boxes, labeled "Original Gatorade Thirst Quencher" and "Gatorade Perform 02". The original has 10 g of sugar and 5 mg of sodium, while the modern form has 21 g of sugar and 150 mg of sodium. Though there is only a 30 kcal difference, the two charts suggest that Gatorade has become less healthy since its origin, and that is probably the intent. So, what is the "original" formula? Is it the experimental formula Cade started with? Is it the Stokely-van Camp product from before 1969, or after 1969 when cyclamate was removed? The first chart should be clear about that or it should be removed, because it seems to have a purpose in being there, that is, to show how liquid candy is ruining the world. (I have no involvement with Gatorade or any drinks manufacturer.) Roches (talk) 18:18, 31 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Along these lines, the statement "There are 34 g of sugar (8 teaspoons) in one 20 US fluid ounces (590 ml) bottle of regular Gatorade." is apparently contradicted by other body text and both nutrition boxes. Maybe there are Gatorade flavors with this much sugar, or maybe there used to be, but currently this is an unsupported statement and it needs to be supported or removed. 76.20.110.219 (talk) 20:09, 24 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Misleading Section Titles

If just reading the section title "Gatorade and oral rehydration" I would never guessed that the content of the section would be about the inappropriate use of the drink as rehydration supplies for refugees of the Rwandan genocide. And reading "Advertising and publicity" I wouldn't expect to hear that their advertising led to someone dying from exercise-associated hyponatremia.

I'm not sure what the remedy is here, whether the titles should be changed or the information should be reorganized. Maybe a "Controversies" section is warranted. Willthamic (talk) 16:02, 24 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Another possible entry into "controversies" would be the apparent restrictions on Gatorade in Norway, Austria and New Zealand visible on the map in the article. There is no mention of these -- except to say that Gatorade was "reintroduced" in New Zealand! Why "re"? Will the Pepsi people allow this article to say? 71.167.255.2 (talk) 02:23, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

-Contrary to popular belief, the University of Florida did not come up with the sports drink that is now known as Gatorade. The team doctor for the FSU football team, Dr. R.A. Johnson, began producing a sports drink that he called "Seminole Firewater" as early as 1962. Dr. Johnson blended sugar and lime flavoring with electrolytes (salts) to help keep the players hydrated and to prevent cramping. In 1964 at an annual Seminar of Collegiate sports physicians and athletic trainers held in Tallahassee, Fl., a representative from the University of Florida found out about the discovery that sodium and potassium keeps athletes better hydrated because it gives back to the body what is lost through sweat. They returned to Gainesville and, after being tested on the UF football players, the name "Gatorade" was given. The University of Florida requested a certified patent in 1967 for the drink that Dr. Johnson had freely shared with the public.  <small><span class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Sskyler328|Sskyler328]] ([[User talk:Sskyler328|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Sskyler328|contribs]]) 22:14, 29 November 2008 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

+Hello fellow Wikipedians,
-==Nutrition information==
-I don't have any standard Gatorade labels handy, but the bottle of G2 right next to me reads 10% RDV of vitamins C and E, and 25% RDV of niacin, B6, and pantothenic acid. You might want to fix that. Update: a quick glance at a bottle of standard Gatorade reveals 50 calories, 110mg sodium, and 30mg potassium per serving, not the 63, 95, and 36.6 that are currently listed.

-== Gator Gum section is self-contradictory ==
+== Misleading Section Titles ==
-The section in question says that the gum both WAS an electrolyte gum with at least a rehydration-assisting function, and yet that it WASN'T a product with Gatorade electrolytes and served no actual function aside from being regular gum. We can't have it both ways.  A source needs to be cited on this (even an original wrapper's contents list could be cited as as source, if anyone has one).  Also, it's entirely unclear in this section if the revived product had any differences from the original. Practically nothing is said at all about the second-run version, and there's no source for the idea that this version even existed.
-Also the article states that the gum contained electrolytes to assist rehydration.  This is not true because the salt ions, otherwise known as electrolytes, would require the occupation of water molecules to remain stable.  Since the gum does not in any way introduce any water, it would ultimately only decrease the available water in the body and therefore would actually counter the rehydration process. — <font face="Trebuchet MS">'''[[User:SMcCandlish|SMcCandlish]]'''   <span style="white-space:nowrap;">[[User talk:SMcCandlish|Talk⇒]] ʕ(<sup>Õ</sup>ل<sup>ō</sup>)ˀ</span>  <small>[[Special:Contributions/SMcCandlish|Contribs]].</small></font> 21:44, 6 May 2010 (UTC)
+If just reading the section title "Gatorade and oral rehydration" I would never guessed that the content of the section would be about the inappropriate use of the drink as rehydration supplies for refugees of the Rwandan genocide. And reading "Advertising and publicity" I wouldn't expect to hear that their advertising led to someone dying from exercise-associated hyponatremia.
+I'm not sure what the remedy is here, whether the titles should be changed or the information should be reorganized. Maybe a "Controversies" section is warranted. [[User:Willthamic|Willthamic]] ([[User talk:Willthamic|talk]]) 16:02, 24 September 2023 (UTC)
+: Another possible entry into "controversies" would be the apparent restrictions on Gatorade in Norway, Austria and New Zealand visible on the map in the article. There is no mention of these -- except to say that Gatorade was "reintroduced" in New Zealand! Why "re"? Will the Pepsi people allow this article to say?
