The Gatorade Cooler

Do the coach Gatorade cooler bit with the ask inside.

Winning without you would be a DEFEAT. HOCO?

Grab an orange Gatorade cooler and tell them the team wants to celebrate. When they lift the lid expecting the usual, it is empty except for a note taped to the inside and their favorite bottle sitting in the bottom. No actual dumping needed, the fake-out is the whole gag.
