Isotonic drinks are beloved of sportsmen.
And students; in their case as a hangover cure.
The original Lucozade - an orange fizzy glucose drink, usually served warm (retch, not in our house) - was the staple of many a child's sickbed experience.
When Sarge was overseas, I did ask if there was anything I could send him, given the basics Brit troops asked for (toothpaste, boiled sweets to reduce thirst, wetwipes, shaving gel, deodorant etc) but he told me they were pretty much sorted. I don't think this really shows how much better off US troops are provisioned, just being a rations pack.
It's a really good IOTD - I'm just saying outside of this there are further shortages for overseas troops.
