/r/HailCorporate?

Maybe I'm the outlier, but I don't think normal people are out here having significant conversations about Gatorade on the regular in the first place. And I sure as hell don't believe that anyone organically genuinely gives even half a shit what anyone else calls it. Just call it "shit water" like everyone else and more on.

Who says anything about "significant"?

"Hey man, can you pick up some Gatorade when you're a the store?"

"Sure, which one?"

"Blue"

Is not exactly an unreasonable conversation to have.

And that is novel but common enough to be expressed in meme? Come on.

Not significant but casual. E.g., when I'm headed to wawa and I ask my husband if he wants anything, he says "yeah, a blue gatorade".

Yes, I'm sure this kind of conversation happens. But that's about it. I feel confident nobody, nobody, on earth cares about Gatorade enough to organically make the meme in question. Like what kind of psychopath is putting that kind of importance on fucking Gatorade, even as a joke? This is an astroturfed corporate meme, y'all.
