Gatorade is 6% sugar, whereas Powerade is 8% sugar.
A new television ad for Coke's Powerade Option sports drink features a "drag race" between two farmers in Amish dress, riding horse-drawn carts loaded with hay bales — one with ten bales and one with 50.
Powerade Option, which contains "negligible calories, cannot refuel athletes in a similar manner" as Gatorade, the court filing claims.
