Hold on, this might be a useful item. If it came out a week ago because the stomach flu is here, and I’m crashing out all day.
I have to fall back on gatorade.
I’ll try them.
Interesting: No sales tax. Are these being confused with “food”? And even better, no tariff. Reassuring these are not made in a lab in China.

@deenK@sarahsandroid just leave all sugar substitutes out. They’re disgusting! I’d rather sweeten it to taste myself with whatever sweetener I like! And there are flavorless hydration liquids that do this, so it’s entirely possible!
@Mari98@sarahsandroid Well, Poison Hemlock has leaves and pretty flowers. And if your poisoner uses it correctly, you’ll never even know… before it’s too late.
I’ll say pure cane sugar. The amounts in packets like this aren’t bad (compared to a Venti Starbucks Frappuccino).

I had a flower bed at my previous house where I planted a bunch of perennials that I think are beautiful - foxgloves, delphiniums, and monkshood. I found out later that they’re all super poisonous!
I want an electrolyte mix which, if consumed in sufficient quantity, gives me the unkillability of Mystique, and the shapeshifting ability of Deadpool. No, wait…
Beware. This stuff tastes like what I imagine sweaty, old gym socks put into a coffee maker with a pinch of fake fruity flavor would taste like after percolating with water goats had been bathing in. Maybe even worse.
@gkm2f Do you feel similarly about other hydration powders, Pedialyte, etc? They aren’t meant to taste like a regular fruit drink, but a sports/recovery/vitamin drink. They are intentionally high in sodium.
@midnightplatinu Much may depend upon how your taste buds respond to certain components, and whether Stevia extract is something you find unpleasant. Remember, for some people, cilantro tastes very strongly like soap, while many others find it mild and delicious.
That said, I have yet to find a beverage mix sold as a “hydration” aid which didn’t taste unpleasant in some way, and that includes all of the Gatorade and Powerade and Propel versions. A few are relatively inoffensive, so I keep a bottle of one of those around for the time when I need it.
@yakkoTDI Haw Haw/ HeHeHe… in other words ROTFLOL to your answer! But did you ask Apple? BTW I did have a Uncle Mac. But sadly they have all Passed this Mortal life, as most of my Aunts!

Gainful? More like “AI” is lame full.
@DrunkCat Try a different AI engine to get a better chance of winning them back.
@yakkoTDI k
How well hydrated are these electrolytes? Do they have the consistency of Brawndo?
@yakkoTDI they have what plants crave
Finally, these do appear to have what plants crave.
You should sell some Starbucks discount coupons.
@thismyusername Starbucks coupons? Are you jerking us around?
@thismyusername I will take a full service ‘latte’

Water bottles and electrolytes. I’m starting to get nostalgic for speaker docks and knives…
I’ll try them.

@mediocrebot Dad?
@mediocrebot @phendrick I thought it was meant to be you!
That’s actually a pretty great image.
@Kyeh @mediocrebot @phendrick just great? Not a GOAT image?
@Kyeh @mediocrebot Guess I should print it out and put on my wall with the family portraits.
@mediocrebot @phendrick I’m going to print it out for a friend of mine who identifies with goats!
@Kyeh @mediocrebot For a small fee, i could autograph it for your friend.
Know anyone no longer using an auto-pen, in case demand grows?
@mediocrebot @phendrick Um, I think mediocrebot is the one who should sign it.
Dang it! Can’t/won’t do stevia. Blech!
@sarahsandroid I wish more companies would just use less sugar. Maybe add some monk fruit extract or something.
@deenK @sarahsandroid just leave all sugar substitutes out. They’re disgusting! I’d rather sweeten it to taste myself with whatever sweetener I like! And there are flavorless hydration liquids that do this, so it’s entirely possible!
@sarahsandroid cane sugar or death! Or normal sugar. But no stevia, sucralose, aspartame, monk fruit, xylitol, etc!
@jasonjm @sarahsandroid Agree — would buy this except for the stevia!
@sarahsandroid stevia as an actial leaf isnt too bad tasting.

Daiquiri? yes.
That’s a lot of electric batteries.

These can absolutely make a margarita. Finally a product that fits the bill, and we get this “not sure” bullshit? Shame!

@gkm2f I believe you. I’ve never had a food or drink from meh that didn’t taste exactly like that.
@arysta The stroopwafels were delicious!
@gkm2f Do you feel similarly about other hydration powders, Pedialyte, etc? They aren’t meant to taste like a regular fruit drink, but a sports/recovery/vitamin drink. They are intentionally high in sodium.
@arysta @gkm2f I’m curious to know just how you acquired these specific standards of comparison.
@arysta @gkm2f @macromeh The goats especially!
For real? They taste that bad? You’re kind of raining on my parade here, I’m trying to talk myself into a bad, unnecessary purchase…

But does it have what plants crave…?
@Perfect_Timing Actually, no - plants don’t want sodium.
Is it Mac Compatible
@mycya4me I asked Mac and he said it works for him.

In response to the last part of the write-up, I would suggest a trip back to the warehouse to grab one of the many bidet products sold here.
@pmarin ironically the next day a bidet seat showed up…
And here I thought it was 12 workout Deodorants
