A scene from Idiocracy 2006
Joe

For the last time, I'm pretty sure what's killing the crops is this Brawndo stuff.
Secretary of State: But Brawndo's got what plants crave. It's got electrolytes.

Attorney General

"So wait a minute. What you're saying is that you want us to put water on the crops.

Joe

Yes.

Attorney General

Water. Like out the toilet?

Joe

Well, I mean, it doesn't have to be out of the toilet, but, yeah, that's the idea.

Secretary of State

But Brawndo's got what plants crave.

Attorney General

It's got electrolytes.

Joe

Okay, look. The plants aren't growing, so I'm pretty sure that the Brawndo's not working. Now, I'm no botanist, but I do know that if you put water on plants, they grow.

Secretary of Energy

Well, I've never seen no plants grow out of no toilet.

Secretary of State

Hey, that's good. You sure you ain't the smartest guy in the world?

Joe

Okay, look. You want to solve this problem. I want to get my pardon. So why don't we just try it, okay, and not worry about what plants crave?

Attorney General

Brawndo's got what plants crave.

Secretary of Energy

Yeah, it's got electrolytes.

Joe

What are electrolytes? Do you even know?

Secretary of State

It's what they use to make Brawndo.

Joe

Yeah, but why do they use them to make Brawndo?

Secretary of Defense

'Cause Brawndo's got electrolytes.
