Almost every jar of pickles claims a serving of pickles has zero calories. Now clearly, this is incorrect and the result of exploiting some ridiculous FDA loophole, since anyone knows that cucumbers provide calories.

So let’s say you’re in a situation where you lose all access to food, but you’ve got effectively unlimited access to pickles – like, you’re trapped inside a recently abandoned pickle warehouse.

Could you conceivably eat enough pickles to survive for a month? Two months? Or would your body just shut down from all the sodium and acid?

    Yes, but imagine it’s a pickle warehouse, like strictly a warehouse somewhere that houses product.

    Also, I’m not sure where you live, but if a place in the US put pickled onions on your burger when you asked for pickles, I think we’d have a problem. “Pickles” without further context always means pickled cucumbers. That’s even how they’re labeled in supermarkets.
