Salt could spike your thirst, but also boost the effectiveness of water at depleting thirst. Gives you a good reason to have a drink with your meal
I quite like this. Having salt in your body will decrease your thirst, but it should increase how much hydration that drinks give you.
As a side note, perhaps soda should restore some thirst, but as soon as it finishes metabolizing your thirst drops rapidly for a moment, making it a super inefficient drink.
