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

It definitely does. Don't use Apple products, but setting limits or bedtime alarms (on the switch) helps us all out. It cut down on the tantrums about stopping, it gives them the routine they need (we're all on the ADHD spectrum in this house), and I set it up and it's done (I have practically nil executive function).

Is it perfect? No. But it works for us.

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.

Yes to Vicar of Dibley. Local PBS affiliate would show it and my parents loved it.

I have one that will relentlessly attack anything plastic - like Ziploc, trash bags, store bought bread - until someone refills the food. Had to buy an honest to goodness bread box so she'd stop destroying the loaves.

I agree. I enjoyed RIF for so many years. Paid for it too. I would gladly pay him again for a lemmy app.

Yes! He linked to the post over on tildes prior to shutting down RIF.
