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 once was told my mother's electrolytes were high AND she needed vitamin D because she didn't get much sun. Somehow my young brain merged the two concepts such that if someone said there electic-lights were low, I would offer them my lamp to sun with.

Not sure if typo or a great pun, but a lamp is a good idea for someone lacking electric lights.
