Pickle juice fact: It’s great at releasing muscle cramps. Apparently for some people they don’t even have to swallow it, the second it hits their tongue the offending muscle relaxes.
I know this because I used to cramp up on long bike rides. After I started carrying pickle juice shots in my bag it never really happened again, so I guess it worked? 🙂
(In reality, around that time I just got in better shape, and started taking magnesium supplements, which is a lesser-known electrolyte that a lot of people are deficient in and can cause cramping)
I do not understand this humor. In what way is pickle juice different from urine?
Imagine the reaction if you just said nothing and drank the pickle juice.
An OPEN PAN of pickle juice? Guys, that’s how you spill pickle juice all over! AND GET ANTS!!! THAT’S HOW YOU GET ANTS.
I’d have the same concerns about spilling if it was urine, FWIW.
Also, what kind of weirdo store sells pickles in a plastic box instead of a jar? We have better pickle storage technology than this. Then you can relabel the empty “Piss Jar” and take swigs out of it the next time you do something with VW. YOU’RE WELCOME.
“That’s how you get ants!” You are missed, Mallory Archer.
Speaking as someone who has a weird habit of drinking a sip of pickle juice from the container when the last one is gone: I thought the end of this story was going to result in drinking it and the absolute certainty of the German fellow thinking you’re disgusting.
I have to admit I was fully expecting the end of the story to be them drinking the pickle juice to prove it wasn’t piss. Although if David had used the phrase “cream my pants” around this particular PR rep that might not have been as convincing either. 😉
I thought Germans LIKED pee. I mean, that’s what all those videos on the internet told me.
Those are the #1 popular videos. There are also #2 popular videos, which are technically the #1 popular videos.
So, you lovable morons got into a pickle with VW’s PR Team?
(low hanging cucumber on that one).
I don’t know why you guys couldn’t just dill with it. He was clearly gherkin your chains.
It’s possible the person was making a joke – to bring a little levity to the weird situation you guys were in – and did not actually think you guys had a Piss-Tisch. 🙂
Could well be. German humor can be very hard to detect.
It’s very difficult to anticipate a joke in German since the verb always comes at the end of the sentence.
I thought this was going to be a blitzkrieg joke for a second…
Just be glad there was not a Corny-Chon there. It might be misunderstood as a tiny green poo.
in the future, perhaps run those scenarios by the lawtopian department.
Pickles=tepid piss. Can’t argue with that. Pickles are NOT food. Pickles are a dare. I dare you to eat a caterpillar. I dare you to eat cow dung. A pox on every restaurant that ruins a hamburger with pickles.
The correct response would have been to claim you can’t remember whether it’s urine, dip your fingertip in it, taste your fingerip, then say “No, I don’t… think… it is?” and offer the tray to him so he could check for himself.
Now you know for next time.
I remember watching the video hillarious. I even mentioned more video than the sight did videos of crap that arent video enticing. That sight never did get car people.
I pray that you two never run out of these “insider” stories. This one is comedy gold.
You should have just drank it in front of him after that subtle accusation.
Do your part for America and remind them why they lost the war!
“What war? WE WERE ON VACATION!”
