Other drinks that have been given a new name include Gatorade Fierce® now Bring It™, Gatorade X-Factor® changes to Be Tough™, Gatorade AM™ now called Shine On™, Gatorade Rain™ becomes No Excuses™, and Gatorade Tiger™ now Focus. The company will also be introducing two new flavors for the year of ‘09 called G2® Lemon-Lime and G2® Strawberry-Kiwi.
