I thought they were supposed to be black? I remember the FIFA balls were changed so that they would look better on the grass and can also be used as branding. But blue hexagons?And is there something special with the name 'Obesotade'? The name either makes me think of 'Obesity' or 'Asbestos', both of which aren't very sporty things. It's probably a paraody of some sort, but what of?Also, for visiting this thread, you get a piece of trivia: The soccerball is a 'truncated icosahedron'. It could be a trivia question some day :)Hi from a fellow nerd (saw your other post :-)) !Gatorade.

Good point! :thumbup: They should be black! However, it may be because they need to stand out against Homer's shirt on the splashscreen. :-)

obeso is the italian term for someone that is obese too

No.

Obsession + Gatorade = Obsesotade

But it's not Obsesotade, it's Obesotade.

I believe that Gatorade and Powerade are both extremely high calorie. So is Vitamin Water. Outside the context of high-impact workouts or sporting events, sports drinks are just as bad for the waistline as soda.

As a side thought, if lemonade is made from lemons, and limeade is made from limes, what's obesotade made from? ;)

And we'll completely avoid the gators for now. :P

Interestingly enough, I never tried sports drinks. I think it's because when my friends tried it, they either looked as if they drank vomit or spat it out. Maybe if it's given for free I'll try it... maybe.
