I was talking with my daughter and her friends a bit ago and I was telling them how I was reading that drinking pickle juice was a great thing to drink to help you if you have had a bit too much to drink.

You know what is probably happening all around the world right now? Kids are trying to convince their parents that they really want a dog for Christmas. OK this is probably a year round discussion.
