I've been buying the big cans of gatorade powder lately because I've been busy and they are cheap. But they are still absurdly expensive for what is essentially just salt with food coloring and artificial flavor, and I dislike how much sugar it contains.

When I got sick with Covid my doctor recommended the pedialyte powder. It has less sugar than a lot of electrolyte drinks. I’m not sure how the price point compares but it’s definitely easier to keep on hand space wise.
