Take this alternative hydration tip with a pinch of salt

When u/Revealed_Jailor chose to post this screenshot to Reddit’s r/Facepalm forum, they made the right decision.

Just look at the state of it.

While he’s not wrong that foods help with hydration, a high sugar content actually causes dehydration – and no doctor is ever going to suggest a high-fat, high-sugar alternative to a drink of water.

Reddit users were pretty cold towards the suggestion.

Watermelon, cucumber, lots of foods have plenty of water. But ice cream??? Hmmmmm.

Yes, you need electrolytes to rehydrate, but you ABSOLUTELY need water to rehydrate.

It’s why all the cyclists in the Tour de France put milk in their water bottles. The real elite climbers like heavy cream.

You don’t need no hydration after a water buffalo… it’s right there in their name.

Didn’t you read the post, you still need hydration from a water buffalo, it’s the ice cream buffalo where you don’t.

Humans are made up of 90% ice cream.

Hydrate – verb – cause to absorb ice cream

Ice cream has a shit load of salt in it so too much can actually dehydrate you.

A Redditor named u/drolikemine had a question.

Are we getting dumber or are dumb people getting louder?

We can’t rule out the possibility that it’s both.
