Gator-ain't

The new Gatorade machine at work (glass front, bottle retrieved by a mechanical arm) contains no, none, zero, Gatorade. It is filled with Pepsi, Diet Pepsi, and Mountain Dew despite the large Gatorade signage on both sides.

Simple explanation really, Pepsi-Cola and Gatorade brand names are all under PepsiCo. From the pepsico website: Many of PepsiCo's brand names are more than 100-years-old, but the corporation is relatively young. PepsiCo was founded in 1965 through the merger of Pepsi-Cola and Frito-Lay. Tropicana was acquired in 1998 and PepsiCo merged with The Quaker Oats Company, including Gatorade, in 2001.

I know that, but it stinks that there's no Gatorade in a Gatorade machine.
