Gatorade is a sports drink first developed in 1965 at the University of Florida and named for the University's sports teams, the Gators.  A team of scientists developed Gatorade to help the teams' athletes rehydrate after excessive sweating during sporting events. Gatorade's first advertisement came during the 1967 Orange Bowl, where the University of Florida defeated Georgia Tech. Florida's head coach, Ray Graves, stated that his team won due to the help of Gatorade.

Manufacturing rights for Gatorade were first sold in 1969 and are now owned by PepsiCo, who acquired them in 2002. PepsiCo distributes Gatorade worldwide and has expanded the product line to include drinks for both athletes and non-athletes.

Farrell's Ice Cream Parlour and Restaurant, an 1890s-themed eatery, was established in Portland, Oregon in 1963. The franchise, best known for giving free sundaes to people celebrating their birthdays, grew and branched out across the United States, but had begun to decline by the late 1970s as the economy became weaker. In response to flagging sales, Farrell's began advertising on television commercials, newspaper ads, and buttons. Yet throughout the 1980s and 1990s the chain had to sell off multiple locations, and after a legal battle over ownership in the late 2000s, the company was forced to restructure its model. Today Farrell's restaurants can be found in only two states but are beloved for their sundaes and joke menus.
