    So, obviously that’s crazy and we’re all here to dunk on this person.

    But also, I want everyone to know that Gatorade sells their product as a powder as well. One container of powder makes something like 24 bottles of Gatorade. It’s super cheap, and way more environmentally friendly. Thank you for your attention

      Gatorade isn’t actually a good source of electrolytes though.

      It’s sugar and pinch of salt.

      However! There’s totally good electrolyte powders that are packed with the goods, and they’re not much pricier.

      Also, sour patch kids have a weird ingredient in the coating that most electrolyte stuff doesn’t have. Potassiumsomething something, irrc?

      If you’re super dehydrated while drinking a fuckload of water, stick some of them under your tongue

        Any recommendations?

        I use nuun tabs. Not exactly cheap considering it’s $7 for 10 tabs. Not exactly environmentally friendly considering the small plastic tubes.

        Purchase a huge swath of wetlands. Start cutting down all the trees and filling in the swampy bits. Once there is a credible threat to the existence of the alligators, start a campaign to save the wilderness and undo the damage. Allow people to donate money by purchasing “Gator-Aid” packages for $100 a shot. Steal the money and run.
