What about water? It’s not sweet and it’s amazing for hydration.

I guess you’re not getting some electrolytes like salt, but you could add some.

Point of the pickle is for the electrolytes, not the water.

Fair.

Although, I do question whether people need be concerned about electrolytes, not throwing shade; genuinely curious.

I’ve worked in hot climates, ran marathons, etc and never felt the need for anything other than water, but I am happy to be humbled.

The saltiness of people's sweat varies quite a lot, so you may just not lose a lot of sodium that would otherwise need to be replaced via electrolytes.

I have nothing to compare it to, but I’ve had it when running where you can actually feel grains of salt when wiping my forehead.
