Pedialyte the brand of low-calorie electrolyte drinks originally designed to help sick children rehydrate, is leaning into its once-underground status as a hangover cure for adults.
Just in time for New Year's, Pedialyte manufacturer Abbott is launching a fortified bubbly drink mix called Sparkling Rush powder packs.
"If you look at the U.S. retail landscape, you see this tremendous growth in sparkling water," Chris Calamari, vice president of pediatric nutrition at Abbott, told USA Today.
"You get the electrolytes you need with that great tasting fizz. It's a really exciting product."
