Gatorade was developed in 1965 at the University of Florida for use by its football team. Sqwincher was later developed in 1975 to compete against Gatorade as an alternative electrolyte sports drink. The original versions of both products feature a combination of water, sugar, sodium and potassium, designed to replenish the carbohydrates lost through exertion, and replace the fluids and electrolytes lost in sweat.
The main difference between the two is the ratio of sodium to potassium as shown in the chart above. Both Gatorade and Sqwincher now offer low sugar and zero sugar options. Additional features for each product are noted below.
