So I'm one of those weirdos who had never had pedialyte as a kid. I somehow made it to 36 years of age never having had pedialyte.
I'm also one of those weirdos who, at 36 years of age, discovered she freaking loves pedialyte.
In fact, I might be the only weirdo.
I was 35 weeks pregnant and came down with a stomach flu. I want you to imagine for a moment what it would feel like to have the stomach flu, while pregnant. Now imagine what it's like to be heaving your dinner into a plastic receptacle while the child inside of you at 35 weeks gestation is moving all over the place.
Weirdest sensation ever. Seriously.
Ok, I digress.
My midwife recommended these and my husband ran out to get them for me. I was reluctant as I'd not been able to keep ANYTHING down for hours. Also, everyone had always said that Pedialyte was gross.
But to me, after hours of vomiting, and after sweating from all the late pregnancy hot flashes, welcomed these lovely little beacons of hope like the treats of sheer wonder they actually are. Cold. Sweet. Salty. Refreshing.
It actually COMFORTED me to eat these. So, call me weird. But take that little nugget of truth and do with it what you will.
I ended up buying another box of these to take to the hospital with me when I delivered my son. They were a godsend during my 36 hour labor.
And while I think they're delicious, I can see how this same formula served up warm in a glass would be a sort of cruel form of torture. So maybe it's just that they're frozen. I'm not willing to try the non frozen kind to find out.
