In what might well be the most California thing ever, America's golden state has settled a lawsuit against sports drink maker Gatorade for sullying the good name of water.


Cali Attorney General Xavier Becerra announced on Thursday his office struck a deal with Gatorade to change the content of a sponsored mobile phone game that told kids to "keep your performance level high by avoiding water."


California accused Gatorade of violating state false advertising and unfair competition laws.


“Today’s settlement should make clear that the California Department of Justice will pursue false advertisers and hold them accountable.”
