Pickle Juice Sport Pt.2



Amid all of the hostility over the first posting of Pickle Juice Sport, I have decided to write another. It’s mainly because my opinion doesn't matter. But readers still want to know what other people think.
I was actually surprised to get so much feedback/comments. Thanks for reading folks. It would probably have to be the most read - by amount of comments - blog I've done.
So here goes nothing.
I still am not going to drink Pickle Juice Sport. It's just the idea of it all.
When I was younger I stole a couple of drinks. Hated it then, and would probably hate it now.
I remember quivering in my boots when I saw my brother going for that jar. It just wasn't a pretty sight to see.

During my Hotter'N Hell coverage period I walked by the Pickle Juice Sport booth a bunch of times. At the first thing I noticed was the type of people at the booth.
They were good-lookin' folks, but also like they just left their Abercrombie & Fitch day job. It was a different type of promotion that only usually works for a bad product.
"Well at least if the drink sucks, I get to check out some amazingly hot guy/girl," is most likely the average response of the person walking up to the booth.

And I'm not saying the product doesn't work. They've handed out pickles at rest stops at the Hotter'N Hell for a while, and I've heard of its benefits.
But what happened to just eating the pickle.
I'm guessing it’s a get rich quick scheme. Sell the pickles in a jar, with a diluted concentration. Then take the more potent concoction and repackage it.
Just a guess.

on the HH 100 ride, when they serve Pickle Juice. its a 8 ounce cup. or even if you dare, fill up the water bottle and drink a little bit at a time.

In 2005's, HH 100 they had a 16 ounce bottle of Pickle Juice and it was great! Better than Gatorade! "Try it, you'll like it".
