PICKLE JUICE to DE-ICE ROADS?

You heard it right!  New Jersey's Bergen County has started to use PICKLE JUICE instead of SALT to de-ice roads this winter.   Yep... Pickle Juice.  Seems that the briny mostly salty cucumber transforming soak is good on ice as well!  Salt costs $63 a ton and pickle juice costs $16 a ton.  Seems like a good deal to me...


I'm not one to say that Bergen County is a smelly county, but can you imagine the smell this spring?  The aroma of  slushy, rancid, pickle juice is no doubt going to evoke smells of Sauerkraut or Kimchi.

I'd put New Jersey's Bergen County on my list of places to visit.
And on my other list of where I don't want to live. 


Campy out!
