. In 2005, Gatorade introduced Propel Calcium. In the summer of 2006, Gatorade introduced Propel powder packets: a dry powder mix of Propel, where the contents of a powder packet are added to a 500 ml (16.9 oz) bottle of water. Propel powder with calcium launched in January 2010. In early 2009, Gatorade changed the bottle design, and began using bottles containing 30% less plastic than their predecessors. In 2023, PepsiCo formed a new portfolio connecting its sports and fitness drink brands under the Gatorade umbrella. Propel was included in this umbrella. In 2023, Propel partnered with Michael B. Jordan for the drink rebrand. The Strawberry Kiwi flavor of Propel is specifically manufactured and bottled in Marion, Ohio and has been since the flavor was introduced to the public.
