No, "pickle juice" is not a screen name for a blogger, and it's not some trendy metaphor for kinky sex [this is where most people quit reading], it just means pickle juice, the stuff that cucumbers soak in to become "pickles" as we mostly know them.

Many people on this site would probably not consider me to be a pickle kind of guy, but I must confess - I love 'em.  Pickles come in many flavors, sizes, and used for various things, but mostly for a condiment type of application for sandwiches; and sometimes as a beautiful garnish to adorn your lunch plate.  I recently went to have a beer with some friends and experienced a fried pickle, and it was a euphoric experience to the taste buds even for a pickle connoisseur such as myself, it was a plate of battered and deep-fried pickle slices - FANTABULOUS!

As we mindlessly meander our way through the grocery store aisles, passing by those marvelous phallic vegetables encased in their pressure sealed glass aquariums where they beg us to crunch into their tangy goodness, we often overlook the magnificent sauce which makes them so desirable - pickle juice!

If you have never tasted pickle juice before, I urge you to take a swill right from the jar the next time you polish off a jar of pickles and are about to dispose of the jar, just treat yourself to a sip of this magnificent nectar.  Just as there are many different types of pickles, with many different flavors, there is also various juices which preserve the once bland cucumbers.

My favorite pickle and pickle juice is Clausen's Hearty Garlic Kosher Dill, they are so cold and crunchy, with a healthy and vivacious garlic flavor.  As I sit here writing about my love for pickle juice, I suddenly wondered if pickle juice could possibly be any better than it already is ... and then it hit me - Hearty Garlic Kosher Dill pickle juice with a bit of vodka added to it ... WHOOOO HOOOOOO!

The health aspects of pickle juice are amazing also, clears phlegm from the lungs, cleans kidneys and dissolves kidney stones, removes uratic salt buid-up in the urinary tract (especially important for men over 40 years old), divides fat cells for weight loss, and begins removing toxins from the body nearly immediately after drinking it.  Too bad pickle juice doesn't help with deteriorating eye-sight, then I wouldn't have to post this article using a large font.

Ya still think I am weird ... you're right!

PICKLE ANYONE?
