How Did Staying Hydrated Become A Thing? (Reheat)

How Did Staying Hydrated Become A Thing? (Reheat)

To say that hydration is an invention is only a slight exaggeration. Water bottles have become a crucial accessory — a status symbol. How did that happen? This week we bring you an episode from our friends at the Slate podcast Decoder Ring. They investigate how bottled water transformed itself from a small, European luxury item to the single largest beverage category in America. It took savvy marketing from brands like Gatorade and Perrier, who pushed the idea that dehydration was a pervasive problem to be solved. Today hydration is a wellness cure-all, but the science doesn’t exactly match the marketing.

This episode originally aired on July 12, 2021, and was produced by Dan Pashman, Emma Morgenstern, Andres O'Hara, and Jared O'Connell, along with Willa Paskin, Benjamin Frisch, and Cleo Levin of Decoder Ring. The Sporkful team now includes Dan Pashman, Emma Morgenstern, Andres O'Hara, Kameel Stanley, Jared O'Connell, Jazzmin Sutherland, and Morgan Johnson. This update was produced by Gianna Palmer.

When White People Say Plantation

When White People Say Plantation

The word "plantation" pops up a lot in the food world – Plantation Mint Tea, Plantation Chicken, Plantation Rum. But it's not a culinary term. It doesn't indicate certain spices or cooking methods. So what are white people in food who use this word trying to evoke? Inspired by a piece by food writer Osayi Endolyn, we go on a mission to find out. In the process, we try to learn something about whiteness in America. Transcript available at www.sporkful.com. This episode is from The Sporkful's archives.
