Went to buy some Pedialyte on the advice of a GOON (mafarkin goontips ITT :heysexy:). Has more electrolytes that plants need lol. Anyways, I was gonna stock up for the Roni Pandemic but I see this stuff is $6/bottle. My Wallet!!!

Now dont get me wrong, Lowtax pays a fair wage for professional shitposting but even I cant afford this luxury. Pedialyte is glucose, potassium and sodium off the top of my head, so it's like Morton's Lite Salt and Kool-Aid. Convenient, yes. But a total f*cking ripoff IMO :ssj:

Any GOONS have an explanation for this injustice? Share your thoughts, conspiracy theories, and other amusing anecdotes itt :coolfish:

there are like 1000 different single-serving electrolyte powders you mix with water and arent nearly as marked up in price

The powdered Pedialyte works out to be a lot cheaper, you just mix it with water yourself. And the fruit punch flavor is delicious!

^^ This, Emergen-C is one for example- has more vitamin C than is usable by the human body plus B vitamins. None of the flavors are as tasty as the Pedialyte

If you give a baby pedialyte for free they'll just get addicted to it and lazy that's why you have to make them work for a wage to earn it it's quite simple even the babies know that

They're still way loving price inflated. It's like $10 for 6 pouches that make half a bottle each or something dumb. When like every other drink mix on the market is like 10 cents a pouch,

It's like a "DO YOU WANT YOUR CHILD TO DIE?!?!?" tax

Well he had the foot nutrient juice.
That's why it's called PEDialyte.

Pediatric RN friend told me you can soothe HFM oral sores by mixing 30ml maalox with 5ml benadryl and just kinda swab it on them with your fingertip.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

They grind up babies and extract the electrolytes from the slurry, and as everyone with kids knows, babies are pretty expensive
