Move over Pedialyte. Yes. It seems to be true. Pickle juice is the new Pedialyte, which was the new Gatorade, not to mention the brief reign of G2. The Boston Globe reports on the wondrous restorative powers of pickle juice, explaining that the average pickle spear contains 220 milligrams of sodium versus 110 milligrams in an 8-ounce bottle of Gatorade. The Globe warns that because natural pickle juice should be consumed in small doses, nutritionists advise that athletes supplement with other fluids. The Globe tells us that the maker of Pickle Juice Sport, a dill-flavored sports drink promoted as a way to prevent muscle cramps, says it supplies several dozen teams and more than 100 pro athletes, and Philadelphia Eagles head trainer Rick Burkholder credits natural pickle juice with a win over the Dallas Cowboys when on-field temperatures reached 109 degrees at Texas Stadium during the 2000 season opener. True? False? Does pickle juice really work? You tell us in the comment space below.

I remember that game and the pickle juice story related to it.

Jason Witten endorsed Pickle Juice Sport.

They forgot to mention we sucked.









Doesn't Witten endorse some kind of pickle juice?

That game was a complete disaster.

This is like the mother of all Gryphon posts.

That was years ago and that whole season they talked about it.

What a lame article in 2009.

I remember that game. It was hot as hell, but they had the much better team and kicked our ***. The trainer taking credit for it is almost as bad as this guy writing an article about it 9 years later.

You do realize that "pickle juice" is basically vinegar and salt?

Pickles are green. The eagles colors are green. The eagle players could have eaten green boogers and kicked the butts of the Cowboys that game.





I got their pickle right here! And, it ain't green!!

[ROMOSAPIEN9]

Aren't we well past the pickle juice game by now?

I know I am.

Campo choosing the side w/no shade might have a bit to do w/it too.

How stupid was that!





When Campo was the coach, I read a post that when he tried to yell at Ellis for a bad play, that Elllis would just reach down and scratch him behind his ears and carry on...

It works. I've had cramping issues before playing sports in extreme heat. I drank dill pickle juice straight from the jar. An hour later, I was 100%, no cramps at all. I've read articles that claim it's the chemical effect of the combination of vinegar, salt, and dill. Anyway, I use it everytime I compete in sports in high heat.

As much as I hate that game...

I think it's the potassium that the pickles are brewed in that make it good for you.

But, yeah, they say it works...and pickles are good!
