When Lemurade Fails

When Neal's recipe for Lemurade failed to catch on in the early 1900s, George suggested that it may have been because Lemurade didn't contain any actual lemurs. In 1964 George developed the recipe for Gatorade. He was sure this would be a wonderful recipe since it included actual alligator excretions. Gatorade became a huge success, though it was quickly reformulated by Dr. Robert Cade and his team and may or may not still contain alligator excretions (especially the yellow one).

After the success of Gatorade, George and Neal were approached by a number of companies to come up with formulations for other sports and energy drinks, like:

• Red Bull - the bulls can actually be any color


• Powerade - it has to be plugged in before drinking


• 5-hour Energy - this is the portable, battery-operated version of Powerade


• Venom Energy - made with real platypus venom


• All Sport - we originally called this Two Sport because it just used sweat from curling and cricket (it was very expensive since sweat from those two sports is so rare), but when we sold the formula they decided to use sweat from every sport to lower production costs


• Monster - yes, we were able to find some real monsters to help with this formula


• Shark Energy - the key ingredient was shark teeth, to give it a bit of bite


• Red Rooster - includes excretions from a... well, they wouldn't let us use the real word, so we chose a synonym


• Gas Monkey Energy - it's monkey farts that make the bubbles


• Rockstar Energy Drink - with all our connections in the music community it wasn't hard to collect all that rockstar sweat


• Dolfins Energy Drink - if you think rockstar sweat is easy to come by, there's a football team in Miami that helped out with this one, though we had to disguise the name for legal purposes


• Beaver Buzz - this is about 50% castoreum and 50% caffeine


• Vitamin Water - aka GNC Urine


• Farmade - somehow this recipe was really lost in translation when we sold the rights to it
  

Most (but not all) of these were, unfortunately, reformulated. We'll let you guess which ones are still the same.
