Pedialyte has sucralose, Walmart's generic Pedialyte has stevia, this one has stevia. There's only one brand I've seen that has monk's fruit extract (which I haven't had any gross aftertaste from so far) and it's really expensive.
At this point I've gone back to diluted Gatorade/Powerade, whatever's on sale. If you look up "make your own rehydration drink" most sites just say 'add sugar and salt' which is a terrible idea because you need dextrose, salt, carbonate, magnesium, and potassium. Why they feel the need to add stevia or sucralose when there's already dextrose in the formula is beyond me. I would rather have fully unsweetened and leave it to me whether I want awful synthetic sweeteners or awful 'natural' sweetners (stevia is disgusting idk why it's so popular).
There's a market out there for hydration packets/tablets that just have normal dextrose in them but aren't unhealthily oversweetened like the *ades.

Kinderlyte Electrolyte Powder, Advanced Hydration, Easy Open Packets, Supplement Drink Mix (Lemon Lime, 16 Count) https://smile.amazon.co
My second choice is Pedialyte Sport. It has 650 mg of sodium per packet. I can find Pedialyte Sport at Target in the Atlanta area.
Pedialyte Sport Electrolyte Powder, Fast Hydration with 5 Key Electrolytes for Muscle Support Before, During, & After Exercise, 12 Lemon Lime & 12 Fruit Punch, 0.6-oz Packets (24 Count) https://smile.amazon.co
If you sweat a lot and find yourself cramping after a hard workout or other strenuous activity, try either one of these. I used to drink pickle juice in order to replenish the sodium I lost. It was the only thing I could find with enough sodium to stop the cramping, especially in my legs. Now I just use the packets and some water and when I am in a pinch, I swallow the powder straight from the packet. Cramps are gone within 2-3 minutes or if I did a good job hydrating while active, I never get leg cramps. Gatorade, powerade, etc., are a joke. They do very little in the way of rehydration for people who really sweat.

$1.00/serving is a pretty fair benchmark for hydration powders. This deal comes in at $0.28. So, even at 2x dosage, these are still a good price. Also, they are handy to carry in the tubes.
Hydration and electrolytes are a big deal. Everyone needs them. 75% of people are not adequately hydrated. Personally, I have shortened bowel syndrome and work out vigorously >90 minutes a day. So, it's critical for me. I have to take some sort of hydration supplement every day. In a pinch, I will just do a pinch of sea salt.
I have tried nearly every hydration product on the market. There is a lot of hype. But salt is salt. Your body needs more than just sodium chloride. Potassium and magnesium are also critial.
In my personal experience, Drip Drops 10/10 are the hands-down best. It's used by the US military. (Though I read it was the only hydration powder that has a procurement spec.) That's what I will use when working out.
Liquid IV 9/10 is my go-to because it's almost as good and available at Costco.
Don't sweat the glucose - People who are doing keto get the keto flu, which seems to be helped by electrolytes and hydration. They need hydration salts but will often avoid ones with sugar. That's probably not necessary. A significant recent medical finding is that glucose dramatically increases electrolyte transport. And, having done keto, with a continuous glucose monitor, I can tell you that your body creates glucose naturally. (It's weird, but exercise will cause my glucose to spike as high as 150ml/dL sometimes.) Glucose is the fuel source for your brain. I have never had a hydration powder cause of a major glucose spike in my blood.
Here's some interesting stuff on hydration. https://rehydrate.org/index.html
The bottom line: these are a great deal worth having on the shelf.
