But remember, Barney didn't pass out pickle juice to the motorists. He was
actually giving them Kerosene :) Might have helped if they ran out of gas

Even though I have ever eaten a pickle when I was hot, it would work fine
for relief of heat exhaustion.? See its the saline or salt in the pickle
that would work.? Instead of salt tablets which has an effect on the body
and blood pressure, the salt that the pickles are soaked in would be
absorbed in the body quicker and thus relieve the heat exhaustion better
than for the tablets to be digested then go throughout the body.? When
Barney was handing out the jars of pickle, it seemed like it might have been
summertime, so back then when air conditioners in cars were scarce, Barney
helped relieve the heat.? Especially that one guy from Portland, Oregon who
had to drive all the way back across the Rockies. :)
