  Are you stuck in a pickle factory? Blink twice if you’re under duress.

        If you are stuck right now. Go ahead and eat some pickles. Some calories and nutrition is better than completely 0. Also keep in mind that Cal stands for Kilocalories, so a pickle serving may have anywhere from 100 to 5000 calories (0-5 Cal) based on the prior numbers

  if you are discussing short-term survive-ability, while waiting for rescue, then eating pickles is better than nothing. They will provide water, vitamins, electrolytes, etc. If you are discussing living of a pickles as a lifestyle, or prolonged diet option, then it isn’t enough.

    It would do the opposite of providing water, it would almost immediately decrease the amount of water available to your body.

      The pickles themselves shouldn't be a net negative for hydration, but drinking the juice would be.

        No way, pickles alone are super salty, it'll definitely be dehydrating

        So dry them thoroughly before eating?

        And then you DIY distill the pickle juice to get as much water and as little acid as possible

  They have some carbs and protein at least, and vitamins and electrolytes. The water would probably help but I’d wonder if it would be too salty.

    I think it would be, similar to drinking sea water
