ExiledInIllinois Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Not only does it keep pickles fresh, not only is it retatta seasoning, pickle juice is now road treatment! Isn't it basically a brine solution... I was reading an article a few years ago about studies showing that treating the roadways with a brine solution PRIOR to a storm saves a ton on road salt and works better... Better for the enviro in the end... We had a light dusting of snow last night... My northern exposure driveway doesn't have anything on it compared to others... It must still have a light solution of KCl or CaCl2 on it (I don't use the harsher stuff after shoveling)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledInIllinois Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Critic acid. It also works to release (and clean) into solution the iron off the resin beads in a water softener. Yet, it doesn't work as well as say Super Iron Out (which contains about 1-5% citric acid). It is safer around food and what supplies. Super Iron Out also has (from the MSDS): Ingredient(s) CAS # Percent Sodium hydrosulfite 7775-14-6 30 - 60 Sodium carbonate 497-19-8 3 - 7 Sodium chloride 7647-14-5 15 - 40 Sodium metabisulfite 7681-57-4 15 - 40 Citric acid 77-92-9 1 - 5 Sodium bisulfite 7631-90-5 0.1 - 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LabattBlue Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 I use the whole Retatta recipe. The pickle juice melts the ice and those crunchie fried noodles provide traction. Retatta posts. The gift that keeps on giving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Assquatch Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Not only does it keep pickles fresh, not only is it retatta seasoning, pickle juice is now road treatment! The special tincture costs just 7 cents a gallon compared to $63 a ton for salt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LancasterSteve Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 That's it. I'm submitting pickle juice to Mythbusters. Let the pros decide how much of a miracle this magic liquid truly is...plus I want to watch Jamie Hyneman make retatta. And to think it all started here: http://forums.twobillsdrive.com/topic/25951-oh-this-is-nicereal-nice/ Full circle pickle juice-> retatta -> pickle juice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
