Apparently, Mcdonald's put gherkins in their burger because their burgers contain so much sugar, if they didn't put the gherkins in the burgers, they would need to class them as desserts! Maybe this is the same reason everyone else puts gherkins in burgers!!
Is pickle juice a natural blood thinner?
I think so. Pickles have a certain acid that can thin your blood out; but, dont take it too far, because it will only work if you have a pickle once every two days at the most. == First, the acid--the most common acid--in pickles is vinegar (acetic or ethanoic acid). This is the pickling agent. And, the most likely side affect of pickle consumption is increased sodium of glucose levels, depending on the form of pickles eaten. Second, technically, the only substance that "thins" blood is water, and that from excessive hydration. The "thinning" of blood you may be asking about is reduced clotting factor. There are few verifiable medical benefits to the use of vinegar, aside from vinegar tea used by diabetics to help control blood glucose levels, and the effect ingestion of vinegar has on cholesterol levels. The dangers outweigh the benefits. If you enjoy pickles, eat them. Just keep in mind that moderation is the key.

- Heat about 1/2" oil in a pan to just below the smoking point (of the particular oil you are using--peanut or canola oil work best).
