Gatorade comes in three varieties: Original, Frost, and Fierce. Each of these varieties offers a wide array of flavors, but they all are made from the same ingredients and dyes, more or less, including Red 40, Yellow 5, Yellow 6, and Blue 1.
Although you may not be thrilled to learn these dyes are made from coal tar, you can rest assured knowing they are not made from crushed insects or any other kind of animal parts, derivatives, etc…
