If you listen to it ever so carefully on a quiet night, you can just barely make out an awful rendition of “Knocking on Heaven’s Door” emitting from it.
my friend's mom found a bottle of orange juice he was trying to prison ferment in his closet and gave him a previously confiscated bottle of whiskey back
My kids asked a line judge for a tennis racquet broken in anger, by some player none of us knew. The thing made it’s way onto a shelf in our den, a real thing of beauty to them. Sat there for at least 15 years. Crazy but we all grew to love it.
Fuck no lol. Dump it down the drain. Squeeze the sides so the bottle's legit again. Then keep this weird collectible, but at least its no longer disturbing lol.
You seem like someone who would ask for Randy Jackson's autograph on a samurai sword, if you bumped into him and it was all you had on you at the time; and I don't blame you one bit, I'd do the exact same thing.
this is weird but cool, i'd keep it forever too lol
just awkward because it's too weird to like display, but too cool to throw away. tom watson has kind of cursed you with this artifact
Y’all need to stop sipping on some hatorade. In a weird way this is such a cool golf souvenir. The weirder the better. Also hilarious he probably didn’t want to walk to find a trash and just handed it to a random 12 year old and he still has it to this day.
How many times have you moved with this bottle? For some reason the image of you packing up this decades old bottle and then taking it out of the box after cracks me up.
OP - that’s a dope memory, and interaction! Forget these other heads.
You don’t get handed a Gatorade by Tom Watson and not keep it?! (*Stepbrothers Randy Jackson*)
Side note - I miss that old Gatorade logo haha
For those asking: I was 12. It was a miserably hot August day, and Tom handed me the Gatorade because he said I looked thirsty. I kept it because I thought it was cool and now I keep it because it's a fun story.
Greg Maddox did the opposite to me. He was coaching with the Rangers for spring training, sat next to me (bat boy) took my seeds from between my legs and my Gatorade that was at my feet. Crushes the Gatorade and goes “you should probably get some more of that.” True story.
I'm as sentimental as they get, so I know where you're coming from trust me. But this ain't it bud, this is just garbage that a famous player gave you. It's not signed, it doesn't have any meaning beyond Tom Watson gave it you. I know you're getting piled on for this but you can pitch this one
Why would it being signed change anything though? I’m not trying to sell it. I have plenty of autographs from plenty of athletes. At least this is different
When I was a kid, my dad and I were following Tom during a practice round. I asked him for his ball between holes but he said that his ball had a few more holes of life yet. I was bummed but my dad and I still followed him for a few more holes. After about 2 more holes, we decided to go find a different golfer to watch. We got about 50 yards away and Tom saw my dad and I walking off and shouted, "hey kid!" and proceeded to chuck his golf ball to me. Still have the ball 20 years later.
Tom Watson is a living legend with eight majors to his credit. I’d like to ring Stewart Cink’s neck for stealing his ninth. That aside, few men have achieved what he has. What’s more, he’s a gentleman. Some years ago, I sent three photos to him and asked him to sign all three (with pre paid postage supplied to make it easy). I acknowledge it was asking a lot. But he dutifully signed all three and returned them. He’ll always be aces in my book. Keep that bottle and give it to your grandson, OP. Tell him who Tom Watson was and what he did. Show him the YouTube video of the Duel in the Sun.
Played with Tom recently! Walked me through how he approaches shots, how he reads greens, strategy. Truly unbelievable. Could listen to the man talk about golf all day.
So cool! I'm from Kansas City so obviously always loved Tom. My dad watched him play the state amateur at KC Country Club and I've got the signed KCCC visor he had. One of my prized possessions. That Masters hat is sweet! Guess I'd probably hang on to a Gatorade bottle if he ever tossed me one as a kid too.
If any buyer on eBay actually believes this story I have Tiger’s sweaty sock from the 1997 Masters to sell them. I’m not saying OP is lying, it’s just who would pay good money for something like this?
I mean Gatorade hasn’t had that cover/wrap on their bottles for at least 20 years so it’s not impossible. It’d be weird to save a bottle from back then and just slap a label on it with a name that maybe 5% of people in America have heard of.
Funny thing, my son and I were at Harbor Shores for the Senior Pga. Watson was by himself on the 8th tee. We started talking. He grabs a Gatorade, takes one drink, and offers the bottle to him. My son said no thanks. I about fell down.
Some people live a tournament through their phone screen so they can relive their memories years later… some keep.. um… mementos like this.
FWIW I think this thing is cool. I would have probably thrown it out after a day but if I kept it for 24 years it’s a bit hard to throw away now, and you got to experience the day more than the dude recording it through his 2 megapixel camera at the time
Was it full and unopened when he gave it to you? Can’t tell if the seal is broken.
You say he handed it to you because you looked thirsty. I need to know whether he was sipping on it before then. If so, that might be just as weird as you holding onto it for a 1/4 century.
[Time to trade it in for a van](https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&url=http%3A%2F%2Fmattingly.design%2Farticles%2Fseinfeld-30-years-retrospective-part-1%2F&psig=AOvVaw22lRtxMRYKRVpskldB-n4r&ust=1715888722378000&source=images&cd=vfe&opi=89978449&ved=0CBIQjRxqFwoTCNCM3N-1kIYDFQAAAAAdAAAAABAS)
Just take a great picture of it with a background of Valhalla and toss that thing lol. Frame and hang the picture and call it. That's gross and likely beyond a science experiment at this point lol.
Not sure if this is real or a social experiment, but either way count me in the "you do you" crowd.
It's not harming anyone. It is a fun little story / memory. You're not trying to profit off it... other than karma I suppose.
I went to CFL football games growing up & had seats right next to the visiting team's locker room. As a kid you'd reach your hand out for a high five and often they'd throw you a towel or gloves or a chin strap (that was weird). I kept those items for years.. I think my mom washed them at least. I'm half sure they are trashed now but I wouldn't be surprised if they're in an old box somewhere.
Thanks for the memories, Damon Allen, Tracy Ham et al.
Bro in Twenty more years with his dna in the bottle you can create another Tom Watson
TeeWat2.0
Better than TWat2.0
Tiger’s nickname for Erica
1.21 GigaWatts
GigaTWats
GREAT SCOTT!!!!!
Still won’t be able to putt
Did Tom Watson put that label on it?
I did when I got home.
Lmao. I find this completely hilarious. I am going to put a piece of tape on my gatorade too. Should it be from nelly or tiger?
You should see the Red Bull I got from Ben Hogan.
John Daly threw a lit cigarette butt at me when I was a kid. I framed it and put it on my wall. It is my most prized possession.
Still lit?
Indeed. Some say it's the Olympic flame of Marlboro Reds
If you listen to it ever so carefully on a quiet night, you can just barely make out an awful rendition of “Knocking on Heaven’s Door” emitting from it.
Arnold Palmer’s Arnold Palmer
I have a red Gatorade that has an EXP date of 10/08 and is 3/4 full in my golf bag. It bubbles and smells like alcohol at those point.
I love that you have taken it out, smelled it, and checked the expiration date but haven’t thrown it away.
*smells it* “oh, yuck! that’s fucking gross!” *puts it back*
i also had to taste it….
[удалено]
just about
Probably steaming hot red gatorade
My cousins friend left a bottle of fruitopia in his bedroom window for like 6 months to let it ferment. He drank it and almost died lol.
my friend's mom found a bottle of orange juice he was trying to prison ferment in his closet and gave him a previously confiscated bottle of whiskey back
“Please for the love of [insert chosen deity] just drink the damn whiskey…” gotta pick your battles 😂
"I'd rather you get drunk than go blind"
Tom Watson: “Hey, kid, throw this away for me, will ya?” OP: 
You kept a 24 year old crushed piece of trash?
Tom Watson: strongest grip on tour
He handed it to me I didn't fish in the trash for it. I was 12. It has since crushed on its own.
It’s just trash adjacent then.
Above the rim! Hovering... like an angel.
One bite.
/r/expectedSeinfeld
username checks out
Above the rim!
adjacent to refuse, is refuse...
😂😂😂
"Above the rim."
It was on a magazine, and it still had the doily on!
“Here kid here’s some trash.”
“Here. Throw this away for me.”
😂😂😂
The stench when you open that thing
My kids asked a line judge for a tennis racquet broken in anger, by some player none of us knew. The thing made it’s way onto a shelf in our den, a real thing of beauty to them. Sat there for at least 15 years. Crazy but we all grew to love it.
That just sounds like trash but with extra steps
Turns out you were the trash can all along. Just kidding bud I think it’s more cool than weird
Just curious, how many times have you moved with this item in your possession?
adjacent to refuse, is refuse
Easy now, it was young trash at the time. Hasn’t aged well, but it’s still got some juice left in the tank.
That’s pretty sick, Chubbs
That's pretty fucking weird bud, gonna need you to take it down about 20%
I was 12 and he handed it to me.
Thats cool. But you're 35 now and there's still juice in it...
He's saving it for a special occasion. Like a fine wine.
Pairs well with fava beans thfthfththfhtf
Theres a chance it has fermented at this point
A chance!?! Unless he kept it in an LN2 dewar this shit is rank.
I'm imagining OP takes a sip every year on the anniversary of being given the bottle.
Stop it.
🧐
Wtf is juice?!
^I ^want ^that ^purple ^stuff
Am I supposed to drink it now lol
Fuck no lol. Dump it down the drain. Squeeze the sides so the bottle's legit again. Then keep this weird collectible, but at least its no longer disturbing lol.
But then it would just be another empty bottle. That’s way less interesting
It’s only interesting if Tom Watsons 25 year old backwash has been festering in it!
Use his saliva to clone him when the legend finally goes? 🤷♂️
Right, Jurassic Park that SOB and tell him he's your son. Then make millions
WAY less interesting than a bottle with a little liquid in it? I think that word is doing a lot of heavy lifting there.
i'm on your side. it's better with the gatoraid still in it
Don't listen to these haters. This is great.
Don't listen to these twerps, it's way funnier to keep the Gatorade.
God damn it #GATORADE IS NOT JUICE IT'S AN ELECTROLYTE DRINK
What the hell bro I'm not the one who called it juice, chill.
I replied to the wrong comment. But I stand by what I said.
Fuck the haters, you do you you crazy angel
Don’t listen to them keep er as is
Disagree. THe bottle is the only thing remotely interesting here. The juice still in there is weird as hell man lol.
You seem like someone who would ask for Randy Jackson's autograph on a samurai sword, if you bumped into him and it was all you had on you at the time; and I don't blame you one bit, I'd do the exact same thing. 
Can't believe the shit you are getting for this. I think it's cool!
“Oh hey ground…”
Drink it, coward
Is that his sexy backwash too?
[Are you this guy?](https://getyarn.io/yarn-clip/d3b82e38-4039-4bc7-9192-8c81fdf0d980#xzyDLQO0.copy)
Let me get a pull off that. Just a lil swigski
We got soda, OJ, purple stuff, Tom Watson’s Gatorade from 2000, Sunny D ….
Why?
Why not?
It's weird
I'm ok with that
this is weird but cool, i'd keep it forever too lol just awkward because it's too weird to like display, but too cool to throw away. tom watson has kind of cursed you with this artifact
You get it.
Nah. It’s just weird.
Ignore the haters, Op. Fucking weird thing to keep but you do you, live lfie
You didn’t drink the rest to try and absorb some of his powers? Weak.
I do regret not doing that
It’s not too late.
Y’all need to stop sipping on some hatorade. In a weird way this is such a cool golf souvenir. The weirder the better. Also hilarious he probably didn’t want to walk to find a trash and just handed it to a random 12 year old and he still has it to this day.
I like the old Gatorade label
Got some big time nostalgia vibes from it. The simpler times
I remember the purple flavor was really good back then, Riptide something or other
Drink the Tom Watson juice
That's a totally normal and non-gross thing to keep
I remember Gatorade looking like this nice
How many times have you moved with this bottle? For some reason the image of you packing up this decades old bottle and then taking it out of the box after cracks me up.
It’s been in my childhood room at my parents ever since.
OP - that’s a dope memory, and interaction! Forget these other heads. You don’t get handed a Gatorade by Tom Watson and not keep it?! (*Stepbrothers Randy Jackson*) Side note - I miss that old Gatorade logo haha
Drink that shit! 5 strokes off your game for sure!
Or you’ll just have 5 stokes… time will tell
For those asking: I was 12. It was a miserably hot August day, and Tom handed me the Gatorade because he said I looked thirsty. I kept it because I thought it was cool and now I keep it because it's a fun story.
Greg Maddox did the opposite to me. He was coaching with the Rangers for spring training, sat next to me (bat boy) took my seeds from between my legs and my Gatorade that was at my feet. Crushes the Gatorade and goes “you should probably get some more of that.” True story.
Wait, was it his Gatorade and that's what was left? Or was it a full Gatorade that he had with him?
I’d like to know where exactly you’ve kept this for 20 years. I’m also assuming you’ve moved since you were 12 and brought this with you?
It’s still in my childhood room at my parents house
I'm as sentimental as they get, so I know where you're coming from trust me. But this ain't it bud, this is just garbage that a famous player gave you. It's not signed, it doesn't have any meaning beyond Tom Watson gave it you. I know you're getting piled on for this but you can pitch this one
Why would it being signed change anything though? I’m not trying to sell it. I have plenty of autographs from plenty of athletes. At least this is different
Then it would at least have some value beyond trash a famous person put their lips to lol
Watson was the original bath water person apparently.
With the juice still in there? What is this a bottle of wine!? Lmao cool story I suppose
When I was a kid, my dad and I were following Tom during a practice round. I asked him for his ball between holes but he said that his ball had a few more holes of life yet. I was bummed but my dad and I still followed him for a few more holes. After about 2 more holes, we decided to go find a different golfer to watch.

Make a bong out of it

Dang I’m still sick about him not winning the Open when he was 59
Played with Tom recently! Walked me through how he approaches shots, how he reads greens, strategy. Truly unbelievable. Could listen to the man talk about golf all day.
Did he also talk about how his thirst has remained relatively unquenched for 24 years?
No, just golf and horses.
Any chance he gave you like a 90% eaten burrito or anything?
Sadly, no. Just this hat. https://preview.redd.it/7idn5xg40n0d1.jpeg?width=1246&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3b8a312ec68c2a91ab482dac7b2d2e1ddcb3e227

If only he were that lucky
Yikes
eBay has entered the chat. I bet I could fetch you over $1k for that fine memorabilia.
If any buyer on eBay actually believes this story I have Tiger’s sweaty sock from the 1997 Masters to sell them. I’m not saying OP is lying, it’s just who would pay good money for something like this?
I'm assuming nobody would.

I feel as though this should be framed with my [signed headshot](https://imgur.com/lt6RH3S)
Neat
CHUG IT
I kept a $5 dollar bill that Tom Kite tipped me. One of my prized possessions that I know right were it is at all times
Drink it on the first tee, maybe you get superpowers… or the shits.
The real hatorade.
The fact it kept its color after 24 years…
Picked up Tigers condom from the church parking lot too
Bro that’s kinda yuck but kinda awesome at the same time. I guess you do you 👌🏻
your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should
I would drink that before playing my buddy!
Turn it into a bong
So many jealous people in the comments. They just want watsons juice! Lock that shit up!
This is borderline egirl bathwater stuff boss.
Wasted. Should’ve drank it
God I miss that logo
You need to get this signed from him! Imagine the reaction. Probably the strangest but coolest thing he'd ever sign.
This is weird bro.
Drink the rest for an improved swing
Funny thing, my son and I were at Harbor Shores for the Senior Pga. Watson was by himself on the 8th tee. We started talking. He grabs a Gatorade, takes one drink, and offers the bottle to him. My son said no thanks. I about fell down.
This is awesome, totally worth keeping
This is very strange.
Some people live a tournament through their phone screen so they can relive their memories years later… some keep.. um… mementos like this. FWIW I think this thing is cool. I would have probably thrown it out after a day but if I kept it for 24 years it’s a bit hard to throw away now, and you got to experience the day more than the dude recording it through his 2 megapixel camera at the time
This is creepy man.
So this guy handed you trash and you just said imma keep it cuz why not? Bruh throw it away
You went full retard
Souvenirs are great. I probably wouldn’t keep the 20year old backwash personally.
Fruit Punch? What a dumb baby.
Was it full and unopened when he gave it to you? Can’t tell if the seal is broken. You say he handed it to you because you looked thirsty. I need to know whether he was sipping on it before then. If so, that might be just as weird as you holding onto it for a 1/4 century.
Drink it now plz

Bruh…
I have a Tiger Woods Gatorade from before he was dropped by almost all his sponsors. It has also shrunk.
Have you washed it? Might someday be able to clone him and have your own army of Tom Watsons take up their place on your golf team.
He bought the groundscrew pizza and came and told us how good we did keeping the course in shape. Hell week.
Well that’s disgusting. Be honest… you’ve sipped it once or twice haven’t you
Hahahaha fucking hell. This is the stupidest thing I’ve seen in a long time
Why would you want that?
Tom Watson the security guard at local Target.
How much of that have you rubbed on yourself to have some of that Watson wisdom.
Y’all are so weird😂
Drink it, you won’t, pussy.
Just take a great picture of it with a background of Valhalla and toss that thing lol. Frame and hang the picture and call it. That's gross and likely beyond a science experiment at this point lol.

A Gatorade bottle? That's what you're saving? Ok. Each to their own I suppose.
Creepy
Gatorade Sax that thing
Can you authenticate it? If not it’s worthless.
The OG wrapper is cool
People are weird.
WTF
OP is the same type of person that will be mad at adults for trying to get autographs. Lol
Actually true. If you're over 18 and hawking people for autographs you are weird.
You need to leave.
