    Pickle brine doesn’t actually freeze in a household freezer, so yeah this would just be cold pickle brine.

        If not, then the answer is simply to dilute the brine with a little distilled or purified water.

        Not that tap water wouldn’t work, but you’re playing with straight flavor here, use something known to be truly neutral.

        Anyway, different concentrations of salt and vinegar will change the freezing point. This talks about using brines and such on roads.

        Apparently exposure to any oxygen will lower the freezing point of pickle brine as well. Which is why the molds in OP’s picture are airtight.

        One of our hormone drugs, spironolactone (spiro), is a diuretic so we’re often salt deprived and craving salty foods. I’m not 100% sure why pickles specifically but I know with estrogen my sense of taste changed and now I get cravings for things that is sometimes strong enough to be a distraction until I eat that food. Pickles are a common craving during pregnancy as well and HRT floods our systems with similar hormones.

    I’d eat it. I wish I had one right now.

    Y’all seriously acting like these are shitty.

    Pickle-pops are SUPER common in the south, at least in Texas. As well as just Big Pickles. Both are sold at nearly ever concession stand at outdoor events.

    They’re great in hot, swampy/humid environments.

      Seriously. I’m from New York and I can confirm, pickles are life when you have to be out in the heat.

    I’m a fan of pickle juice, I wouldn’t turn my nose up at these!

      I’ll straight up drink it out of the jar (not those gross sweet American pickles however).

      But frozen sounds disgusting to me.

        I do the same thing and It’s not. Because of the salt it doesn’t completely freeze, so it’s kinda like a pickle juice slushy. Great for after doing yard work or something hot and sweaty.

      I had the same exact thought. The idea is unusual, but I think this might actually be good.

    That might actually be pretty good if you used bread and butter pickles!

    Might be a better health benefit if you used it as an enema

      considering its mostly vinegar, even the normal usage can provide the same result.
