My daughter Kate’s teacher Brooke Scott if out on maternity leave.  Congratulations to her and her new family!  It’s her first and at some point she will learn the value of Pedialyte, the drink designed to replace fluids that are lost when a child is sick.

I remember my kids using Pedialyte but I never imagined one day it might benefit me – on some 5th of July or New Year’s Day.  Why would that be?  Pedialyte is starting a new campaign to market it to adults as a fluid-replenishing hangover cure.

Kidding, right? Nope, in fact some people have already caught on to this, with use of Pedialyte among adults up 57 percent since 2012. The "See the Lyte" campaign will try to get the message out further, with tag lines like, "When last night's party threatens to ruin today, those in the know reach for Pedialyte."

They also plan to introduce a new Pedialyte powder in orange and strawberry lemonade, and pass out sample at concerts and sporting events.

It's been a long time but I recall hangovers are miserable.  If a little "baby juice" will allow you to recover and sleep like a baby, then I'm in!
