Is Gatorade commercial more than an advertisement?

University of Florida, led by Dr. J. Robert Cade, had to test the drink on the freshman team because the head coach would not let him test it on the varsity squad.

In the past week I visited Museum of Art's and Sciences also known as MOAS. Walking through this exhibit a few pieces of art caught my eye. The art work Florida Dreamscape VIII 1984 by Steven Lotz in the Florida paintings really drew me in. Looking at this painting done with Liquetex acrylic on gesso board really spoke with color.
