Interestingly, the study showed that it definitely works, but not in the way
we thought.  Because of the rapidity of relief, it isn't biologically
possible that it's due to the electrolytes in the pickle juice, but possibly
an effect of the vinegar itself on the nervous system.

That's pretty cool, if you ask me.  Could be that those crazy sekanjabin
drinkers had the right idea all along.

Very interesting-down in most of the southern kingdoms, it is a given that
Field Support {waterbearing} gives out water, gatorade, & pickle juice; the
fighters ask for it-
