H A T E R A D E - Hydration Is Fake
Episode notes
In this ep we discuss the birth of Florida's most iconic beverage-- the one, the only, the reigning king of sports drinks: Gatorade. We also ruthlessly vivisect the myth of hydration, which is actually a corporate invention to sell you bottles of shit you could get out of the sink. The more you know, babes, let's get into it.
We’ve all heard about Florida Man, but what about Florida Woman? Join us weekly as we explore the humid landscape, absurd crimes, bizarre history, and beautiful fucking maniacs that make up our country’s weirdest state.
