So, obviously that’s crazy and we’re all here to dunk on this person.
But also, I want everyone to know that Gatorade sells their product as a powder as well. One container of powder makes something like 24 bottles of Gatorade. It’s super cheap, and way more environmentally friendly. Thank you for your attention

Probably you’re referring to tartaric acid, potassium bitartrate. It’s added to candy to stabilize invert sugars, keeping them from crystallizing. You can buy it in powder form, usually called cream of tartar.
I don’t know what it does for hydration, but I suppose it would help top up potassium levels.

I bet the horse one has a quarter of the sugar though.
it says NO SUGARS
Gatorade isn’t actually a good source of electrolytes though.
It’s sugar and pinch of salt.
However! There’s totally good electrolyte powders that are packed with the goods, and they’re not much pricier.
