Pickleball Trivia by Vinnie D. Joker

Here is another of Diller's Pickleball friends Vinnie D. Joker. I am sure you have all met one of these players on the courts. They never take themselves too seriously and play the game for fun.

Vinnie D. blossomed into the game much later in life as most of us have or not. He had "matured" on the vine, as they say. He is not quite headed for the brine yet.

He has also been known to get a "little pickled" at some of the Pickleball socials. Some would say he looks on the "greener" side of the net.

As you can see, he is a real target for a few "slings and arrows." This often happens when you get involved in this game called Pickleball. Players like to needle you a little about the beautiful form you had on that last missed shot. Vinnie D. jumps for joy when this happens.

Vinnie presents a Little Know Fact About Pickling and pickle juice and he is not joking around.

A Little Know Fact about Pickling and Pickle Juice

"Professional, college and high school football teams are beginning to clamor for pickle juice for their players as a way to stave off muscle cramps. Vinnie D. opines that the salt content, along with the acetic acid (vinegar), in pickle juice make it attractive to athletic trainers and players."

"Pickle juice contains salt, calcium chloride and vinegar, in addition to flavorings (dill, bread & butter, etc). The basic ingredients are similar to what you would find in isotonic drinks. Where pickle juice has acetic acid, isotonic drinks contain citric acid."

Vinnie D. also suggests that it is not bad for curing hang overs as well. He suggests Spicey Kosher Dill juice and your opponents will never get near you, literally.


So keep pickling and don't forget to drink the juice, eh! A new product for Pickleball Suppliers. Vinnie D's Pickle Juice to avoid muscle cramps on those hot days. Comes in dill, kosher dill, and spicey kosher dill flavours!

Thanks to Mt Olive Pickle Company for these little know facts.

Keep pickling and when you finish the jar, drink the juice.
