During World War II, pickles were included in soldiers’ rations due to their high vitamin C content, which helped prevent scurvy. The popularity of pickles led to the creation of the term "pickle barrel" to refer to a large quantity of something.

That's such a cool fact! Pickles were more than just a snack during WWII—they were a key part of keeping soldiers healthy. It’s amazing how something as simple as a pickle could play such an important role!
