thank you for this round-up — sad I wasn't able to attend!
I must know more about this anti-cramping pickle... what was it? how does it work? is this just the latest example of a pickle-crazed generation or a return to a time/place when we thought pickles could cure hangovers?
it's so funny - one of the companies didn't ACTUALLY include pickle juice, but basically a lot of vinegar...the thinking is the electrolytes, or something about the sour taste decreases some sort of receptor that impacts the cramping. I, personally, was disappointed by the lack of pickles, but the association with the popularity of pickles/brined products!

fascinating... I do love a drinkable vinegar (e.g., shrub) and think there could definitely be more on the market!
