In my experience, it’s not “magical” and isn’t noticeably different than chugging Gatorade, but I like it because it’s a more natural way to get rehydrated.

Some athletes use pickle juice for cramps as well.

Another benefit, if you use naturally fermented pickles at least, is the beneficial gut bacteria you get. Probably helpful after a night of destroying your innards from shots of tequila or the like...
