Its got electrolytes
You joke but… in tech school cantine, there was this “Vitamine Well” drink i took, since it was the only one that’s not too acidic (easily get heartburn). I had fissures in the corner of the mouth for years there and then it was suddenly gone. Later, i read that deficiency in some vitamin B variations (which were in that drink) causes said fissures. Since then i buy it once all one or two weeks and have no fissures anymore.
Long story short; they’re not entirely useless.
Powerade knows it’s place (1st in my heart).
To avoid plastic waste, I’m ready to have it piped to drink and to shower and wash my clothes/dishes in.
Still plain water for the toilet though right?
Just eat vegetables and then you don’t have to worry about getting essential nutrients from random shit like water
what the fuck is iodine (it usually is in random shit like salt)
Its the reason you dont see goiters everywhere these days
Hahaha this is exactly how I’ve always felt about those things. They’re cool aid for stupid people. It’s part of the reason why so many people are obese but think it’s just inherent because they always take the healthy option.
Vitamin water is not a healthy alternative to ANYTHING. It’s sugar water that markets itself by making you feel less guilty about drinking it.
Vitaminwater in Canada is sugar-free so I’m surprised to learn it’s full sugar in the states. I definitely grab them here and there when I’m at the hospital for an appointment or looking for something that won’t fuck with the ol’ diabetes in the store.
We have both sugar free and full sugar. I want to say the sugar free is more popular but I don’t pay that much attention.
In my teens, we were given vitamin water after sports games thanks to corporate donations. Most HS players lived off that.
Yay for-profit schools on poor urban neighborhoods.
i’ll never understand the people who absolutely can’t stand drinking just plain water. though i guess they’ll never understand how i will 100% of the time refuse water with any bullshit added for “flavor”
Same. Huge water slut here.
I have to remind my spouse to leave some water for the fish sometimes.
Nah fish have had hundreds of millions of years to evolve lungs, losers need to get with the times /s
