Pickles and Milk
 

i rather suspect shes just saying that cos she thinks its gross ><

welllllll, it could be because the acidity of the pickle brine might curdle the milk in your stomach and make you sick...but you'd have to drink a loooooot of both right after each other for that to really happen I would think.

@Ashy- Knowing my Mum.. xD I wouldn't be surprised.

@Fey- I've actually drank.. A whole jar of pickle juice and a cup of milk. ^^; For 10 dollars... I'm pretty sure you're right. xD But it has no affect on me..It's never made me sick, then again I wouldn't know.
I get randomly sick for no reason. xD

well, logically it wouldn't really do much, your stomach is FULL of much stronger acid, so if that was gonna be an issue no one would drink milk. but odd beliefs often hold sway when logic proves otherwise.

That is true. It also probably has a lot to do with what I ate as a kid.. When you think about it- even logically if you build up an almost amune to acids- then they wont has as much of an affect on you as they would the average person.

Well, the thought of these two together makes me want to gag.....so....someday it might make you sick.

Pickle juice is an acid, but doesn't help you digest the milk. Stomach acid has an enzyme for digesting milk (more than likely) and that's probably a reason why it could possibly make you sick. But I dunno.

I have no idea either. xD I'm no doctor. To me I just really like Milk, so I guess I just developed the habit of pickles and milk when I was younger xD So I mean I hear a lot that it's not good for you, but I've never had anything happen surrounding it.

xD I think the only thing I've learned recently that tastes AWFUL if you drink milk after is grapefruit.. ^^;

oh, see I don't mind milk after grapefruit, in fact most mornings I'll pair 'em up to get all balanced and stuff LOL
really, most of existing is bad for us, it's a matter of not doing more bad than good....

Really? xD It tastes so icky. My Mum never told me, and asdfghjkl; I was like "EEEKKK -drink water-

I'd have to agree that she probably just thinks it's gross.
Because I doubt there is really anything wrong with it.

That actually kind of does sound like something my mom would do. xD

Pop rocks and soda is another bad concoction idea. From personal experience...I can't think of any terrible combinations to share. Though I'm sure I do know some.

.__.; I've done that before..
I friend paid me $10 to let them pour a whole pack of pop rocks in my mouth, and some soda.
D: It kinda hurt swallowing it xD

I think people always think of coke and mentos o.0

LOL, at least your tummy didn't explode (but that myth has been debunked)

That'd be awkward.
xD At least if it did happen..
My friend would have gotten to keep her ten bucks.

Its true, Pickles and Milk aren't a good combination. Well for me anyhow. I tried it last night but not with just pickles and milk. I had a pickle (Full sized) dill then had a bowl of cereal. with in a few hours i started feeling sick D:

I don't see anything wrong with having them together. I love milk and I hate pickles so I would never have them together. :3

*shrugs* fey has it on the dot, brine and dairy leads to curds

xD This show's how much I know about food.
I sort of just- generalize if it's good or bad, then eat what's good. xD (I mean healthy like good FOR you)
D: But Pickles, Milk, and Cheese are- xD I used to eat it every night before bed.. Especially when I was little o.o;

Had to look this up, never heard of a. eating this combo, or b. said combo being bad for you. Apparently, your mom's not the only one to think this, must be an old legend? someone else asking this

I agree with them, it's probably because vinegar will curdle milk, so at some point a long time ago someone assumed it would do that in your stomach. But as mentioned earlier, since there's already acid there, I doubt it would.

Thats actually right it would cause the milk to curddle but at the same time the acid in your stomach is so much more powerful then that of the pickle so the chances of the pickle being the cause of the curddeling is slim to none but I wouldnt have a pickle in my mouth then drink some milk while it was still in the mouth because the texture and instent effect of currdeling is going to be just wrong lol

xD Yeah, you guy's are right. D: But I shall never stop eating pickles and milk ._.;
It's just- Milk so so yummy. D<
And pickles are just. disfl\hdigjhe Good. xD
