An Onion & Gatorade Powers The World

By
Real Estate Agent with Downing-Frye Realty, Bonita Springs, FL 676419

Don't ask me how I find stuff like this.  Besides, the real question you should be asking is "How did this guy discover an onion and gatorade powers the world?" 

Now, since it's a USB plug that he's using can this technique charge my Treo? I mean....if ever I am so stranded with only an onion and gatorade and have to pull a MacGyver.  Will my phone smell like onions when it rings?

At any rate, this humored me.  (I'm simple)  I have not tested it as I am stranded at the real office without an onion or gatorade.  Your case study of this experiment is welcome in the comments below.

I have no idea HOW you found that...

My favorite line was..."in this case, we used a shot glass to hold the onion"...think they used the shotglass for other means prior to figuring this out?

Well, this is a pretty strange one... I wonder how many fruits and vegetables he went through to find one that worked on his iPod?

Oh no, it said the video is no longer available.  It would have been worth taking a minute out to watch.  If it's not a spoof (which it probably is) then it would be worth an experiment or two. I'll check back again later.

Despite the news reports that Dr. Robert Cade - the University of Florida researcher who invented Gatorade - died of kidney failure yesterday at the age of 80, I have heard his death was just moments after seeing this video and realizing that he found the holy grail of portable energy. 

May we all raise a shot-glass in his honor!
