My 2cents: Pedialyte (premade) still has that sweet taste whereas Liquid IV does not. The powdered Pedialyte contained (I haven’t bought it in a few years so I’m unsure if the formula has changed) artificial sweeteners that upset our guts - which was no good when I was giving it to kids with diarrhea because it just exasperated the issue.
It may be placebo effect but I feel like it does a really good job.
*I am also biased because they make one with caffeine and it’s helping me cut back on soda.
Ah ok. I’ve been getting the pineapple and lemon lime ones and both are a tad sour and I like that.
Edit: the pineapple one is the one with caffeine
