5. Gatorade (Brand Value: $4 billion)
Like Monster, Gatorade is more commonly known as energy drink manufacturer. But Gatorade Thirst Quencher is actually just like any other soda drinks: carbonated flavored-water, only lower and close to none. It is just because Gatorade uses sport as its brand’s theme and adds a little bit of “healthy” twist into it, it is popularly known as sports drink.
Gatorade was first introduced in 1965. Today, it is sold in eighty countries worldwide. Its brand value has reached $4 billion, which is the fifth highest among other carbonated drink manufacturers in the world.
Gatorade Thirst Quencher comes in many variants of flavor. Most of them are refreshing flavor of fruits like lime, orange, cucumber, strawberry, and kiwi.
“The one and only. With a legacy over 40 years in the making, it’s the most scientifically researched and game-tested way to replace electrolytes lost in sweat. Gatorade Thirst Quencher hydrates better than water, which is why it’s trusted by some of the world’s best athletes.” – gatorade.com
