Pedialyte

Pediatric hydration solution

Pedialyte is a brand of oral rehydration solution designed to replace fluids and electrolytes lost to dehydration, originally marketed for children with diarrhea or vomiting.

The drink has gained a second life as a hangover remedy among adults: I keep Pedialyte in the fridge for rough mornings.
