I like pickles for hydration. They are basically zero calorie, savory, and pack a ton of salt. Most hydration stuff out there is sweet and on a long day sometimes you need something to break up the sweet fitness snacks.
What about water? It’s not sweet and it’s amazing for hydration.
I guess you’re not getting some electrolytes like salt, but you could add some.
Point of the pickle is for the electrolytes, not the water.
apparently in history Koreans used cucumbers as a water bottle (easy to transport and just eat it to rehydrate)
Yup, that was exactly the thing I was going to say.
The little convenience store nearest the gym I used to go to sold the hell out of them. When there was a road crew working in the area, we couldn't get them because they were always sold out.
When I started martial arts, there was a small batch of us that would stop at a different shop on the way in and grab a big pickle and a small beer for after class. That combination worked so good after a serious workout where you'd end up throwing up from the intensity. Which seems crazy, but it was way better than the usual drinks and snacks sold for replenishment.
Hrmm, could you, eh, drain my pickle ?
Sure thing, big papa
who want they pickle drained?
omg me

A true playa
Gotta have that pickle on every commissary order to throw in the slam.
