I have always liked pickles. Like olives, the juice that pickles come in tastes like pickles. Why wouldn't you drink it? If you like the taste of pickles, you're going to like the taste of pickle juice. I.e. "PickleAde."But that's not why any of us are drinking it. It has been reported to be good for avoiding cramps. I couldn't figure out why. Then I read something on the internet last week which explains why PickleAde stops cramping. (I read it on the internet, so it MUST be true. There are only smart, generous, attractive people, and people with good intentions, using the internet.)According to the internet, it seems that the shock to your parasympathetic(?) nervous system that you get when you drink pickle juice somehow shocks and overcomes the "error mode" your body gets into which causes it to generate cramps. At least that's what the geniuses on the internet told me. Personally, I think it is more chemical balance than electronic nervous system double-speak. I was dosing myself with PickleAde DURING THE DAY, because my friend's brother (who is an MD!) began doing it, and he says it works for him. And he thought he understood why. (But who is he? He just has a MD degree.) So I wasn't even waiting for the cramps in the middle of the night to get up and take shots of PickleAde. And as soon as I began doing that, my problems with chronic cramps stopped. And they came back when I went on vacation, and didn't take any PickleAde with me. So I'm not sure I believe the geniuses on the internet about WHY PickleAde prevents cramping. But my own, and my friends', and their MD brothers, tell me that PickleAde DOES prevent their cramps. In the famous words of the mathematician, George Green, who is responsible for the Practical Calculus, "Shall I refuse my dinner, because I do not fully understand the processes of digestion?" Now I just drink it, because I like it. (It tastes like what pickles want to be.)Shall I refuse to avoid cramps simply because my personal experience disagrees with the geniuses in reddit? Who is the hacker known as reddit, anyway?

Really liked the convenient gallon jug, and tasty.

Ordered to big of container. Use pickle juice for leg cramps.

I have been purchasing pickle juice for dehydration for years. When this product arrived, I thought the taste was foul, but I gave it the benefit of the doubt. Used it after two races and both times, my stomach was knotted for two days. Waited for the second race just to verify that it was this product. Now it is trash and I am out $20 because the return window closed. Buyer beware. Find a reputable seller.

Love the taste of this pickle juice.

I did not like the fact that it didn’t have a security seal under the cap. I did not like the fact that they put the use PC sticker over the ingredient other than that product seems fine. It’s a little strong from what I’m used to and what I’ve ordered in the past, but I suppose it will do for the supplier for the security cover under the cap and don’t put UPC stickers over the ingredients information is very important. I keep it in the refrigerator and do I keep it in the pantry.Please advise.Why did this product not have a security seal underneath the cap? I called the company and they said when it was shipped it had that security seal. I find that doubtful. Because there is no sign of having a seal underneath the cap, so how do I know the product has not been tampered with????

Nice hemet

I bought this primarily because I get muscle cramps, but I also really like dill pickles. There are other sources of electrolytes out there. However, they don't taste like pickles. I was trying to figure out how to describe the taste. You know those big jars of giant pickles you where you buy individual pickles? Or the giant pickles you get that are individually wrapped in plastic bags with a bit of juice? Well that's EXACTLY what this tastes like and it's what I was hoping for. There is no sweetness to it. Just salty and tart goodness. If you use it for cramps I'd recommend no more than 1 or 2 ounces per day. It's very strong. Some people also use pickle juice for cocktails or beer. I haven't tried either one, but I can imagine it would be great for bloody marys or to make a sort of chelada. Overall a great product at a great price.
