Final answer:
The original brand name for Kool-Aid is unrelated to Gatorade, which was developed by University of Florida researchers and tested by football player Chip Hinton. Gator-Aid was a considered name, but they settled on Gatorade for the final product.
Step-by-step explanation:
The original brand name for Kool-Aid is not connected with the invention of Gatorade which occurred at the University of Florida. Gatorade was developed in 1965 by a team of researchers led by Dr. Robert Cade, and it included University of Florida football player Chip Hinton as a tester during its development phase. The name Gator-Aid was considered, but the final commercial product was named Gatorade, a name that played on the association with the university's mascot, the Gators, and the concept of aid that the drink provided to athletes by replenishing their electrolytes and hydration during intense physical activity.
