Apparently peoples' favorite Ducolax+Miralax+Gatorade is getting a "Tasters Choice" award.
Once I even prepared a spreadsheet to compare tonicity of PegLyte and Miralax+Gatorade.
I found that Miralax+Gatorade was not a perfect substitution for PegLyte (and other similar compositions).
However it tasted so good!
Are you sure that Smart Water is a good substitution for Gatorade?
Once I briefly studied a list of ingredients on a Smart Water bottle and got a perception that (unlike Gatorade) it was mostly water with very minimal additional electrolytes.
