Food Fights: The Biggest Culinary Scandals Of 2011
Hey, if we can have cravings for sour cream and dill flavored chips, why not in a drink?
That's what Brandon Brooks thought back in the year 2000, when he hypothesized that people "sneak" a sip of the juice from a jar of pickles. He confirmed his hypothesis when Eagles players drank pickle juice to stay hydrated in the 120 degree heat at Texas Stadium against the Cowboys. Pickle juice was a sports drink? Apparently.
Now Pickle Juice is official as Pickle Juice Sport, made with natural dill, vinegar and salt. It's not caffeinated (now getting buzzed on pickle juice would just be weird), and thankfully, not carbonated.

A friend who is a homeopath told me that my homeopathic profile confirms it: I have a natural craving for vinegar and other similar flavors. But it's such a strange concept that I wonder if anyone will buy it.

Nothing else worked, including pills, gatorade, pedialyte, you name it. You all might think this is a big joke but I am here to tell you that Pickle Juice really does work.

Just my 2 cents

Yesterday, I found myself drinking pickle juice from the jar - it was really satisfying. Maybe I should go straight to the "Pickle Sport" beverage. The apple cider/cayenne pepper drink combination sounds tempting.
