I know gator-aid and its like advertise that they have lots of them. And I know sometimes I feel bad if I sweat a lot and just drink water. But are they just advertising… salt? Are there different kinds of electrolytes, and if so are they interchangable?

    I’m going to go out on a limb and say a product sold as a powder, and called Liquid IV, when IVs are traditionally liquid, is not to be taken seriously.

      Would a rose by any other name not smell as sweet?

      They’re playing off the IV liquids you’d get in the hospital, like “oh look we hydrate you so well you’d think it’s that shit.”

      You hate “Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter” simply for having the gaul to use a catchy name instead of “Hey Look It’s Margerine?”

      Lol I kid, but by all means, don’t drink pedialyte either because that is only for children if we’re going by the root words of their brand name. I mean really what sort of basis is this for an opinion?
