A few years ago I heard about pickle juice replacing gatorade on the football field. It kind of makes sense; pickle juice is basically salt, calcium chloride, and vinegar. Replenishing your body by drinking a cup or two of pickle juice should prevent you from getting cramps.
I prefer Claussen over Mt. Olive.
Sometimes at work, though, when people are slicing the pickles, I get a styrofoam cup and scoop a cup-full of pickle juice out of the 5 gallon bucket.
We have pretty good pickle juice at work, but sometimes I get funny looks from other employees that don’t know me so well

Ya, about that. Gatorade probably makes a lot of money off of sports, cause it’s a sports drink. If sports teams suddenly started drinking pickle juice instead, Gatorade would have no choice but to buy all of the pickle companies in the world and invent a pickle flavoured gatorade. Thus, leaving the world with no more pickles.
