Alongside Lemon-Lime, Orange is one of the two original flavors launched when Gatorade was commercialized in the late 1960s. It features a nostalgic, sun-ripened citrus taste that many compare to a summer orange popsicle. It is designed with a specific carbohydrate-to-fluid ratio to rehydrate the body faster than plain water while providing “fuel” (glucose and sucrose) for working muscles.
