Canned some powdered gatorade to keep it dry longer

You can order food safe packets of silica beads to absorb moisture
Couldn’t you just put it in the fridge?

But can I eat them?
You can…

I use it for the coffee beans and to seal a pour over every night so I have a non watered down cold brew for the morning ready to go.
I chop bags of onions into half onion portions and celery and carrots into 2 piece portions for soups and stews. Tomato paste into 3oz portions. Curry paste into portions for individual recipes. We make vodka sauce into a 4x recipe and freeze that. Yesterday I made a full instant pot batch if black beans and frozen them into can sized portions of refried beans. Mine has a pulse function so I reseal chip bags.
I use it a lot and need to find dedicated counter space for it. Start looking at stuff that you think would either work better if it were available in single use form or stuff that is a pain to make but freezes well.
I have a vacuum sealer machine with dedicated counter space that I use for sealing things in bags pretty often, and a cabinet full of Mason jars that I use for everything (including drinking glasses). I just never think to put the two together!

Why is that better than putting the powder in reusable jars?

I don't and I want to know. TELL ME!!!!
It has to do with Cardi B, Megan Thee Stallion, mouthy right wing influencers and what the proper levels of vaginal moisture is.

Ben Shapiro once tweeted that the vagina should not be wet during sex, and he said his doctor wife is the one who told him that, and everyone mocked him relentlessly for it.

I'm not sure who I feel more sorry for in that story.

It's called dry oven canning. The oven heats up the contents of the mason jar, so when I put the lids on and let them cool, the air inside comes to a lower pressure and we get a vacuum seal. Same notion as you see with jars of salsa, where the little circle on the lid pops up only once you crack the seal
Just a note that dry canning is pretty bad and has a much much higher chance of botulism than other canning methods. (Botulism spores must be kept at-heat at 160C dry heat for over 2 hours, not the oven temperature, but the full temperature of the medium itself)
It doesn't matter here much because it is already powdered, shelf-stable mix, but in general.

Dunno about OP, but the advent of Long COVID comes with a 5x increase in new diagnoses of POTS. Lotta new passengers on the electrolyte train. On high symptom days, I have a junkie-like relationship with calcium antacids and salt shakers.
What's pots?

Nobody, they all are in it voluntarily.

I appreciate you asking. Excellent explainer here.

How does Gatorade help with that?

This is probably unnecessary. The powder itself should be very shelf stable so I would have just repackaged it in vacuumed sealed bags or get an attachment to vacuum seal the jars (vs heat canning).
I have a core memory of chipping away at the brick of what had previously been powdered Gatorade that had since formed into a single solid mass after sitting in the pantry for several months.

Electrolytes can help you retain fluid within your vasculature, which helps with pots bc it increases your blood pressure until you pee it out
-
Ty Carrot!
And to go back to complicating it just a little, those metal salts (particularly sodium, calcium, potassium, and magnesium, plus iodine to make them all do their jobs) make your nervous system and endocrine system work. If the salts and fluids aren’t riding around the vascular system correctly, all sorts of automatic body processes start getting fucky. That’s dysautonomia, like in the name of that website.
