chitoryu12 posted:An instructor I do practical exams with at work swears by eating an entire jar of pickles and drinking the juice when he gets home after doing practicals in the Florida heat, as he says he suffers leg cramps if he doesn't. I think there was some specific vitamin or something in the pickles that actually does the magic. There's nothing magic about pickles. If he finds he's still getting leg cramps after downing some gatorade, then he should up the ante and get some children's pedialyte. Downing an entire jar of brine is just punishing yourself for no reason. e: pedialyte is also good for hangovers, too

Honestly you'd probably want potassium after exercise if you're getting leg cramps. Potassium deficiency is common if you sweat a lot.

In this case it's not a whole lot of exercise (well, maybe it is by his 70-year-old standards), but it's a ton of sitting and standing outside in the perma-summer heat.

Just drink tonic water, the quinine will help with leg cramps AND help prevent malaria. Walla!

I'm having flashbacks to working in a video-rental store just after the turn of the century. We had about a half-dozen of these fuckers because at least two were jammed and required maintenance at any given time.

When you exercise in heat you sweat, and then you need to replenish what you lost, in as close proportions as possible, eg you need to drink sweat. Now, how can I sell drinking sweat in a jar? I know, I'll call it SPORTS... DRINK! Genius! Fancy rear end sweat in a jar, for chumps! The frugal fitness expert will of course just lick their friends.

This would be much better if it was actually a new-looking VHS rewinder. Which must exist, right? There's probably a warehouse somewhere with new-in-box rewinders, right?

I was going to say that you should keep your UHF dial set to 32 so then you can switch over to the UHF channels really quickly and convince your parents that you're watching the news, but you probably wouldn't be getting the Spice channel on the VHF dial anyway.

Palisader posted:My sense of smell and taste are all weird right now because I'm pregnant, and I went to have some Gatorade not long ago and realised for the first time that it's almost salty? Really unappetizing. Here's a lifehack (ps. I hate the term). I grew up on a farm and would often be dehydrated even after drinking more than a gallon of water in 4 or so hours. Put about a teaspoon of salt in your hand, chuck it in your mouth, and drink at least a quart of water. It tastes terrible, but it perks you up really well. If your eyes are burning when you sweat, you need to replenish your salts. My favorite re-hydrating drink is to put a few ice cubes in a quart jar and fill with water, add salt until it's undrinkable, add sugar and lime juice until you can stomach it, and drink the whole goddamn thing. It's my hillbilly Gatorade. It never fails to answer.

That's a step away from being a fantastic mixed drink though. Take a jar, fill with 110 vodka, add sugar and a lemonade packet and shake until frosted.

In High School we used to add Gatorade powder concentrate to straight vodka and swill it down. We called it Gatorodka, and would sing the Gatorodka song, which was basically just "La Cucaracha". Teenagers.

Reminds me of as a kid in the 90s when the nearby city where I had many friends and family had a janky rear end cable company (this was long before the monopolies like Comcast steamrollered in) where the box had analog buttons for like 33 channels and a three way switch so you could in theory have 99 channels on the box. Spice Channel was one of them way at the end, and they had the usual half-rear end video scramble where you could still make everything out half the time, and they had ZERO audio scramble, so you would end up hearing every goddamn thing. It was hilariously inept. As a horny 13 year old in the age before the internet was a real thing that magically delivered porn on demand, this was pretty drat amazing.
