Hydrant
Quietly one of the most interesting products in the category: proof that 'nothing in it but the electrolytes' is a selling point people will pay for — at a pouch price well under most sticks.
| Field | Hydrant |
|---|---|
| Format | Stick packs + unflavoured pouch |
| Sugar | 0 g (unflavoured pouch) |
| Sweetener | Flavoured zero-sugar: monk fruit; Unflavoured: none — 'no stevia, no monk fruit, no sugar, no natural flavours' |
| Best for | The truly-nothing-added shopper: an unflavoured, unsweetened pouch at a bulk price, for water, coffee or broth. |
| Not for | Anyone expecting unflavoured to mean flavourless — unsweetened electrolytes taste salty, and this brand at least says so up front. |
