Gatorade at 50: Top 3 reasons why I love the sports drink
Posted on 10:11 by RAJA BABU

Gatorade, the most popular sports drink of this generation or any generation and one with a secured place in pop culture history, is celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2015.
That’s right. We’ve had a Beatles breakup, been introduced to Cabbage Patch Kids and Viagra, survived 10 presidents in office and read about a wedding starring George Clooney as the groom since early summer of 1965 when four researchers took their findings into a University of Florida lab to formulate a balanced carbohydrate-electrolyte beverage that would forever change the way athletes everywhere replace fluids.
Steve Spurrier, Michael Jordan, Derek Jeter and millions of kids on playgrounds across America have drunk Gatorade. I have too. In fact it’s my favorite drink ever, unless it’s 3am and there’s a bartender in front of me; and the hell with the artificial sweeteners.
Here are my Top 3 reasons why I love Gatorade.
- It fuels me up: You can keep your energy bar and protein shakes because there’s nothing that fuels me up after a long run or game of basketball like Gatorade. Yes I drink plenty of water but the anticipation of twisting the orange cap off a plastic Gatorade bottle makes my mouth watery. Hell, I’m getting thirsty right now. I’ll take a lemon-lime Gatorade, please…
- Sense of accomplishment: Just like any athlete during or after a game chugging some Gatorade, I feel an extra boost of energy, if not a sense of accomplishment, when I am taking the orange cap off the plastic Gatorade bottle in front of me whether it’s after a 12-mile run, 30-minute basketball game or sex.
- The commercials: From “I want to be like Mike” to Peyton Manning’s oversized head to Derek Jeter’s farewell walk through the streets of New York, Gatorade has mastered the art of commercials and they will forever withstand the test of time. C’mon… Even an oversized head can’t derail Jenny Finch’s hotness.

J. Lo: Top 5 roles on the big screen

Singer/actress/producer Jennifer Lopez, born in The Bronx, New York to Puerto Rican parents in 1969, has been singing and dancing since Hector Lavoe ruled the record charts and Iris Chacon topped the TV ratings in Puerto Rico.
J. Lo scored her first acting role while still in high school, went ‘Fly” on In Living Colorin 1992 as a backup dancer and has been a big screen fixture for close to 20 years, including her breakout and leading role in 1997’s Selena, a biopic about legendary Tejano music singer Selena Quintanilla-Perez.
The Boy Next Door, starring Lopez and Ryan Guzman opens in theatres Friday, January 23. Here are J. Lo’s Top5 performances according to #wordbyfernie.
- Selena(1997): Lopez, known in part for her dancing and singing prowess, convinces in playing the often times tormented Mexican-American star. The role earned her worldwide recognition.
- An Unfinished Life (2005): It opened to less than unflattering reviews largely because of its Hallmark, feel good premise, but Lopez is adequate, if not exceptionally likeable in the role of Jean, a grief-stricken rancher son’s wife.
- Out of Sight (1998): Lopez scores rave reviews as a US Marshall on the hunt for a bank robber (played by George Clooney). All the chasing eventually wears moviegoers out, but the onscreen chemistry between Lopez and Clooney is on target.
- Enough (2002): Slim, her name in the movie isn’t exactly apt for someone standing up to her rich turned abusive husband. But J. Lo does wonders for the women-empowering crowd as an abused wife that trains relentlessly in order to defend herself against her husband.
- Maid in Manhattan (2002): The premise – single mother and maid falls for a hunky politician – is on the soft side and very predictable, but this romantic comedy makes you fall in love even more with Lopez, especially if you’re a woman and swear on fairytales.

Fire up tthe oven: J. Lo is hot about The Boy Next Door

It’s premise all too conventional, The Boy Next Door, the cougarlicious, R-rated thriller starring Jennifer Lopez opening this weekend, might leave moviegoers asking a tired question: Haven’t we seen this already?
But the 45-year-old, ‘Next Door’ producer, Lopez, who dons spec glasses and fitted suits, when she’s not rolling around over satin sheets naked as Claire Peterson, a recently separated teacher drawn in by her hunky next door neighbor Noah (Ryan Guzman), is optimistic about the lasting impact the low-budget ,Universal release can have in the box office, especially since it was produced in 23 days and features two “Latinos":.“It’s definitely mainstream, but as a producer I feel great because I believe I picked the best actor for the role,” said Lopez during a phone interview last week in Miami. “And I don’t know if a big studio would have made this movie that we would have had two Latinos opening in it.”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MgbBwovOOoc&feature=player_embeddedDespite the film’s early reviews, Lopez, who unprovoked said the $4 million produced film included talent sharing one trailer and no craft service, thinks a successful run for The Boy Next Doorwould allow her more freedom as a producer, which she would use to cast more Latinos, among other things.
“It would do incredible things for us if the Latino community went out to get behind (this movie),” said Lopez. “It would definitely allow us to pitch making more movies this way and to tell our stories. And as passionate as I am about this industry, that to me is extremely exciting.”Lopez, who struck up a much publicized relationship with young backup dancer Casper Smart after her divorce from singer Marc Anthony, believes a lot of middle-aged women searching for themselves are easily lured by younger men because they are at their most vulnerable point in life.
While not alluding to any of her previous relationships, Lopez hinted at having to deal with a lack of confidence in recent years.
“You know, a lot of women have trouble dealing with their husband’s cheating on them and not feeling desirable,” said Lopez. “We’ve all been there and that’s why I felt I understood Claire.”
The Boy Next Door, directed by Rob Cohen and also featuring Kristen Chenoweth and John Corbett, opens nationwide Friday, January 23.
