i thought people were kidding about gatorade

it’s real. it tastes awful unless you’re dehydrated, then it tastes really good.

i don’t understand this. same bottle of gatorade. it’s not different flavors or anything. when i’m dehydrated, it tastes like ambrosia. when i’m not, it tastes like angry bitter saltwater.

what the fuck.

its because its full of electrolytes (ie. salt in water) and when you’ve sweated a lot (or otherwise lost lots of water) its exactly what your body craves to replenish those supplies

pedialyte pops are basically better tasting gatorade if that helps any

[note: im aware you prolly already know most if not all of this but i figure its a good time to share this info with those who might not know]

Also if you are broke af or can’t get any electrolyte solution the recipe is
6 teaspoons sugar, 1/2 teaspoon salt in 1 liter water

Homestucks you’ve got no excuse not to remember this
